Cookie Policy

Draft policy — legal review required before accepting payment or processing client lead data.

This document is a working draft prepared for review. It is not legal advice and should not be relied on. Passages in [INSERT …] mark decisions still to be made.

1.What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies — local storage, pixels and software development kits — do comparable things. Together they let a site remember settings, keep you signed in, and measure how the site is used.

A first-party technology is set by this website. A third-party one is set by another company whose service is embedded here.

2.How TalkToLeads Uses Cookies

We use a deliberately small set. Essential technologies run the site and remember your privacy choice. Everything else runs only if you allow it.

Optional technologies are off by default. Nothing in the analytics, session-experience or marketing categories loads until you accept it, and rejecting them does not restrict access to any part of this website.

3.Categories We Use

Category	What it does	Can you switch it off?
Strictly necessary	Runs the website, keeps it secure, and stores your cookie preference so we do not ask again on every page.	No — the site cannot function without these, and storing your choice requires storing something.
Functional / preferences	Remembers settings you have chosen, such as interface preferences.	Yes
Analytics	Aggregate measurement of pages viewed, referral sources and general site performance.	Yes — off unless you accept
Session experience	Behaviour and session analysis such as heatmaps and session replay, with sensitive form fields masked.	Yes — off unless you accept
Marketing / advertising	Retargeting and advertising measurement. Listed for completeness; described as used only if and when we actually enable it.	Yes — off unless you accept

4.Cookies and Technologies in Use

What is listed here is what is deployed

Google Analytics 4 is the only third-party measurement tool on this site. Microsoft Clarity and advertising pixels are not deployed and have been removed from this table rather than listed speculatively. The lifetimes below are the defaults GA4 sets, and they are refreshed on each visit.

Provider	Purpose	Category	Duration	Party	Consent required?
TalkToLeads	Stores your cookie preferences, the consent version and the timestamp	Strictly necessary	6 months	First party	No
Google Analytics 4 (_ga)	Distinguishes one browser from another for aggregate measurement	Analytics	2 years	First party	Yes
Google Analytics 4 (_ga_<stream id>)	Keeps session state for the measurement stream	Analytics	2 years	First party	Yes

Provider: Google Analytics 4 (_ga_<stream id>)

5.Google Analytics

Where you accept analytics, we may use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate site performance — which pages are read, which links are followed, and where visitors arrive from.

We use it to understand patterns across visitors, not to build a profile of you individually.
Form field values are not sent to Google Analytics. See section 8.
Google processes this data under its own terms and privacy policy.
If you do not accept analytics, the Google Analytics script is not loaded at all.

Google Analytics 4 runs with IP anonymisation on. The measurement ID, the property data-retention setting and whether Google Signals is enabled are configured in the GA4 property rather than on this site; confirm they match what this page says before relying on it.

7.How to Manage Your Preferences

Use the Cookie settings link in the site footer to reopen the preference centre and change any choice at any time.
Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it — the same panel, the same number of clicks.
Your browser settings can also block or delete cookies independently of our banner. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site working, including our ability to remember that you declined.

We store your choice together with a consent version and timestamp, so that if this policy changes materially we can ask again rather than assume your old answer still applies. Re-prompt period: 6 months, which is the same number lib/consent.ts enforces — the published period and the enforced one cannot drift apart. [LAWYER: confirm the re-prompt period. Some regimes cap it, commonly at 6 to 12 months; others require re-consent only on material change.]

8.Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Browsers may send a Do Not Track (DNT) signal or a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. There is no single industry standard for DNT, and the legal effect of GPC differs by jurisdiction.

[INSERT WHETHER GPC IS TREATED AS A VALID OPT-OUT, AND IN WHICH JURISDICTIONS]. Some laws require GPC to be honoured automatically. This must be confirmed by counsel and then implemented and tested — not merely described here.

9.Changes to This Policy

We update this policy when the technologies we use change. The version and “last updated” date at the top of the page always reflect the current text. Where a change materially alters what we collect, we will ask for your consent again rather than relying on a previous answer.
