Cookie policy

Plain list of what the site stores on your device and why.

DRAFT. This text is a starting point and has not been checked by a solicitor. Replace the square-bracket items and have it reviewed before the site goes live.

Our approach

We use essential storage to make the site work. We use analytics only if you accept it in the banner. We do not use advertising, remarketing or social media tracking. If the banner does not appear, analytics is switched off.

What we use

Name	Purpose	Type	Lasts
`sk0ut_consent_v1` (local storage)	Remembers your cookie choice	Essential	6 months
`sk0ut-portal-...` (local storage)	Staff portal only: remembers which checklist items a staff member ticked today, this week, month or quarter. Not used by visitors.	Essential	Until cleared
[Analytics provider]	Counts visits and pages viewed so we can improve the site. [Say whether it uses cookies; Plausible, GoatCounter and Cloudflare Web Analytics are designed to work without them.]	Analytics (needs your OK)	[period]

Fonts and scripts from other services

To display the site we load fonts from Google Fonts and an animation library from cdnjs. When your browser fetches these, the provider receives your IP address. [Option: self-host the fonts and library to avoid this.]

Your choices

Change your cookie choice at any time. You can also block or delete storage in your browser settings, but sign-in and forms may stop working. We treat a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser as a rejection of analytics.

The law

The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) require your consent for non-essential storage, with limited exceptions. UK law has been updated by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 to allow some low-risk statistical analytics without consent, with clear information and a simple way to object. We ask for consent for all analytics until our adviser confirms we can rely on that exception. [Review at launch.]
