Cookie Policy
Last updated 11 September 2026
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on this website, and how you can control them.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, and to remember choices you have made. Similar technologies such as local storage work in much the same way.
Our approach
We keep this simple: this website uses only what it needs to function. We do not use advertising cookies, social media tracking pixels, or third-party analytics, and we do not sell or share any information about your visit.
What this site uses
| Name | Purpose | Type & duration |
|---|---|---|
proviam_cookie_notice |
Remembers that you have dismissed the cookie notice so it does not reappear on every page. | Local storage, kept until you clear your browser data |
| WordPress session and security cookies | Set only if someone logs in to administer the site. They keep the login secure. They are not set for ordinary visitors. | Cookie, session, or up to 14 days if “remember me” is used |
| Enquiry form protection | Our contact form carries a short-lived security token to prevent forged submissions and spam. | Cookie, expires shortly after the page is loaded |
All of the above are strictly necessary for the site to work or to keep it secure, which is why they do not require your consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. The notice we show is there to tell you what is happening, not to ask permission for tracking, because there isn’t any.
Controlling cookies
You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Every major browser lets you do this, usually under Settings, then Privacy. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site working, such as submitting the enquiry form.
Guidance for common browsers is available from the browser makers, and general advice can be found at the ICO’s cookies guidance.
The LinkedIn feed
Some pages show our most recent LinkedIn posts. This is worth explaining properly:
- It does not set any cookies, and it does not use local storage. We have checked the plugin’s code rather than taking its word for it.
- The post text is fetched by our own server and cached there, so your browser does not talk to LinkedIn.
- The post images are loaded directly by your browser from the feed provider’s storage servers. As with any image loaded from another website, that provider will see your IP address and browser type in order to send the image. They do not receive your name or anything you have typed on this site.
- Nothing in the feed tracks you across other websites, and clicking a post simply opens LinkedIn in a new tab, and LinkedIn’s own privacy policy then applies.
If that changes
If we ever add analytics or other embedded third-party content, we will update this policy and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent before those cookies are set.
