What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep. It lets a site remember something between pages or between visits. Similar technologies — local storage, tracking pixels — do much the same job and are covered by the same rules.
What this site uses
This site sets no cookies of its own until you allow it. On your first visit a banner asks whether you agree to analytics. Until you choose, and if you decline, no analytics is loaded and nothing is requested from Google. Your choice itself is kept in your browser’s local storage under jgl-consent so we do not ask again; that is strictly necessary and stays on your device.
Google Analytics 4 — the tag is present on every page, but it starts with every storage permission switched off, so it writes nothing and stores no identifier unless you accept. Once you accept it sets its own cookies (_ga, _ga_*, typically kept up to two years) and counts visits, which sections are read, which buttons are used and whether a call was booked. IP addresses are anonymised. It is not used for advertising and we do not sell or share it. To change your mind at any time, use Cookie settings — in the footer of every page, and here. It clears your choice and asks again. Withdrawing is as easy as agreeing.
Besides analytics, three things reach out to other services:
- Cal.com — the booking tool embedded on the home page. When that embed loads, Cal.com may set cookies or use local storage on your device so the booking flow works: remembering your place in the form, your time zone and, if you have one, your Cal.com session. These are strictly necessary for the booking to function. Cal.com’s own notice is at cal.com/privacy. If you never open the booking section, nothing is set.
- Google Fonts — serves the typefaces. It sets no cookie, but Google receives your IP address as part of the request.
- Our host — records ordinary server logs (IP address, page requested, time) to run and secure the site.
None of this is used for advertising, and none of it follows you to other websites.
No advertising or cross-site tracking pixel runs on this site. If one is ever added, this page changes before it goes live and the banner will ask separately.
The categories, in plain words
Strictly necessary. Needed for the site to work — security, load balancing, remembering a consent choice. These do not require your permission.
Analytics. Counts visits and shows which pages are read. Requires your consent in the United Kingdom.
Advertising. Measures whether an advert led to an enquiry, and can follow you across sites. Requires your consent.
How to control cookies
Every browser lets you see the cookies a site has set, delete them and block new ones. Blocking everything will break some websites, though it will not break this one.
The Information Commissioner’s Office explains your options at ico.org.uk.
Cookies on campaigns we run
Advertising campaigns we run for a client use the ad platform’s own measurement tools on that client’s website. Those are covered by the client’s cookie notice, not this one. Getting that notice right is part of setting a campaign up properly, and we will say so before anything goes live.
Changes
If the site starts using cookies of its own, this page changes first and the date at the top changes with it. Questions about anything here: hello@jobgrowthlab.com.
