Cookie Policy

1. WHAT ARE COOKIES

Cookies and similar browser storage can remember choices, support security, measure website use, or connect an enquiry to an advertising visit. Optional analytics and advertising storage is disabled unless you choose it.

Types of technologies we use:

• Consent record: local storage remembers your choices

• Session attribution: session storage may hold an OpenAI ad-click reference after advertising consent

• Analytics: Google Analytics may use cookies after analytics consent

• Form security: MakeForms and Google reCAPTCHA process technical data needed to deliver and protect the embedded forms

2. HOW WE USE COOKIES

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Deliver core functionality and security

• Remember your consent choices

• Measure website use after analytics consent

• Attribute confirmed enquiries to OpenAI ads after advertising consent

3. TYPES OF COOKIES WE USE

Strictly necessary storage supports security and remembers your consent choice. Analytics storage is used only after analytics consent. Advertising attribution storage is used only after advertising consent.

4. STORAGE USED ON OUR WEBSITE

The storage currently used or available on the site is listed below:

• bs_consent (local storage, 180 days): records your analytics and advertising choices.

• bs_oppref (session storage, current browser session): stores an OpenAI ad-click reference only after advertising consent.

• _ga and _ga_WM1PG5EQYM (first-party Google Analytics cookies, up to 2 years): set only after analytics consent.

MakeForms and Google reCAPTCHA may use provider-managed technical storage inside embedded forms for delivery and abuse prevention.

5. THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

Third-party services include Google Analytics after analytics consent; MakeForms and Google reCAPTCHA on enquiry-form pages; and OpenAI Ads conversion measurement after advertising consent. Cloudflare operates the dedicated relay that removes form contact details before a permitted conversion event is sent.

6. YOUR COOKIE CHOICES

The consent panel lets you accept all optional tracking, reject it, or manage analytics and advertising separately.

How to manage cookies: Use the Cookie settings control available on the site, or manage storage through your browser.

Blocking all browser storage may prevent consent preferences or embedded-form security features from working as intended.

7. COOKIE CONSENT MANAGEMENT

You can withdraw or change optional consent at any time through Cookie settings. The updated choice applies from that point forward.

8. PRIVACY SIGNALS

Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals keep optional analytics and advertising controls off by default unless you make a different explicit choice.

9. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We will update this page when the storage, providers, or purposes materially change.
