Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on hansardcoaching.com, and how you can manage your preferences. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy above.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device, store preferences, and gather usage information. Similar technologies such as local storage and pixels work in a comparable way and are covered by this policy.

2. How We Manage Consent — Complianz

We use Complianz (by Complianz B.V.) as our cookie consent management platform. When you first visit our website, a consent banner is displayed allowing you to accept or decline non-essential cookies by category and by individual service. Complianz blocks all non-essential cookies and scripts from loading until you have given your explicit consent.

Your preferences are stored and respected on subsequent visits. You can update your preferences at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer of our website. Complianz also respects Do Not Track (DNT) and Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals.

Essential for the website to function and cannot be switched off. Do not require consent under PECR. Includes session management and Complianz consent preference storage.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use our website and engage with our blog content. GA4 collects anonymised data — IP addresses are never stored in full. Analytics cookies are only activated after you have given your explicit consent via the Complianz banner.

3.3 Functional Cookies

We do not currently use additional functional cookies beyond those set by Complianz. This section will be updated if functional cookies are introduced.
