A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to keep, so that something can be remembered between one page and the next. This page lists every cookie datapartners.co.uk is responsible for, what each one is for, and how to refuse them.
Cookies this site uses
Strictly necessary
If you submit the enquiry form, our server may set a short-lived session cookie
(CFID and CFTOKEN, from ColdFusion) so that your submission can be
matched to your visit and protected against duplicate posting. It expires when you close
your browser and carries no information about you. Cookies in this category do not require
consent, because the site cannot provide what you asked for without them.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages people read, so we know which parts of the site are worth keeping. It sets the following cookies:
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes one browser from another so repeat visits are not double-counted | 2 years |
_ga_<property> | Holds the analytics session state for this site | 2 years |
These cookies tell us how the site is used in aggregate. They do not tell us your name, and we have not enabled Google's advertising or remarketing features on this property. Analytics cookies are not necessary for the site to work, so they are set only with your consent, and you can withdraw that consent at any time using the methods below.
The record of your choice
When you answer the cookie question, we remember the answer in your browser's
local storage under the name dp-cookie-consent, rather than in a
cookie — so refusing cookies does not itself set one. It never leaves your browser
and it tells us nothing about you. Clearing your browser's site data for
datapartners.co.uk forgets it, and we will ask again.
What we do not use
- No advertising or remarketing cookies.
- No social media tracking pixels or "like" buttons.
- No embedded video, maps or fonts that set cookies of their own.
- No cross-site tracking of any kind.
The site does load its stylesheet framework and typefaces from public content delivery networks (jsDelivr and Google Fonts). Those requests are needed to render the page and do not set cookies, though the providers will see your IP address as part of serving the file.
How to refuse or delete cookies
- Say no when we ask. Analytics is switched off until you say otherwise. The first time you arrive we ask once, with "No thanks" exactly as easy to press as "Allow analytics", and nothing is requested from Google before you answer. If you refuse, we do not ask again on that browser.
- In your browser. Every current browser can block or delete cookies for a single site or for all sites, usually under Settings, then Privacy. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop the enquiry form working.
- Google's own opt-out. Google publishes a browser add-on that switches off Google Analytics everywhere: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
- Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. If your browser sends either signal, we would rather honour it than argue about it — tell us if you find that we have not.
Your current choice
Checking…
That button clears the stored answer and asks again. It needs JavaScript, which is also what loads the analytics tag — so with JavaScript switched off there is nothing to consent to, and no analytics cookie can be set at all.

Changes to this policy
If we add or remove a cookie, this page changes with it and the date at the top is updated. It is written from the actual contents of the site rather than from a template, so if you find a cookie here that is not listed, we would genuinely like to know.
