Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit it. Similar technologies, such as browser local storage, let a website remember information on your device in much the same way. They are commonly used to make a website work, to remember your choices, and to help website owners understand how their site is used.

This policy explains what this website stores on your device, why, and how you can control it.

These items are needed for the website to function or to remember a choice you have made. They are stored in your browser's local storage rather than as cookies, and they do not track you.

• Your cookie consent choice (stored as hsd-analytics-consent) — remembers whether you have allowed or declined analytics, so we don't ask you again on every visit. It stays on your device until you clear it.
• Sign-in session — if you sign in to the client or founder areas of this site, an authentication token is stored in your browser to keep you signed in. This is only set when you log in and is removed when you sign out.

If you choose "Allow analytics" on the consent notice, we load Google Analytics 4 (provided by Google) to understand how the site is used — for example which pages are visited and how visitors move around the site. This helps us improve the website.

Key points about how analytics is set up on this site:

• Google Analytics only loads after you have given consent. If you decline or ignore the notice, it never loads.
• Your IP address is anonymised.
• No personal details from enquiries, forms or client requests are sent to Google Analytics.
• Private areas of the site (sign-in, founder and account pages) are never measured.
• Advertising features are switched off — we do not use Google Analytics for advertising or ad personalisation.

When enabled, Google Analytics sets its own cookies to distinguish visitors and remember sessions. The exact cookie names and how long they last are set by Google and described in Google's own documentation.

This website does not use advertising cookies, marketing trackers or social media tracking pixels. Links to our social media profiles are plain links — they do not load any third-party tracking on this site.

You can change your analytics choice at any time. Select Cookie settings in the footer of any page to reopen the consent notice, then choose "Allow analytics" or "Decline". If you withdraw consent, Google Analytics stops collecting data from that point onwards.

You can also delete cookies and stored site data at any time through your browser's settings. Every modern browser lets you view, block and delete cookies and local storage — usually under "Privacy" or "Site settings". Deleting your stored consent choice means the consent notice will appear again on your next visit.

If you have any questions about this cookie policy or how this website uses cookies and similar technologies, you can contact us by email at Founder@TheHighStreetDigital.Uk or by phone on +44 7301 543514.

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website. The "last updated" date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
