Essential Resourcing

Cookie choices

Cookie Policy

The short version: essential site storage keeps things working. Google Analytics only loads if you say yes. Advertising trackers are not currently active.

What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. Websites can also use local storage, scripts, tags and similar technologies to remember choices or understand how a site is used.

The same privacy rules can apply to these technologies even when they are not technically cookies.

What this website currently uses

Essential preference storage

The website stores your cookie choices in your browser so it does not have to ask on every page. This is necessary to respect the choices you make.

  • essential.consent-preferences: records whether you accepted analytics or marketing technologies.
  • essential.analytics-consent: supports compatibility with the site's earlier consent setting.

These preferences are kept for up to six months, unless you clear them sooner or change your choice.

Google Analytics 4

Google Analytics helps David understand which pages and content are useful. It only loads after you accept analytics.

  • _ga: distinguishes visitors and may remain for up to two years.
  • _ga_<container-id>: maintains session state and may remain for up to two years.

The implementation uses IP anonymisation and must not send names, email addresses, phone numbers, CV filenames or enquiry text to Google Analytics.

Marketing technologies

Advertising and retargeting tags are not currently configured. If that changes, they will remain off unless you actively allow marketing technologies, and this policy will be updated.

Your choice

You can accept all, reject non-essential technologies, or choose analytics and marketing separately. Rejecting them will not stop you using the website, contacting David or applying for a role.

You can also delete cookies and local storage through your browser. If you clear the saved preference, the website will ask again.

Links to other services

The website links to services such as LinkedIn, WhatsApp and Google Calendar. Simply seeing a link does not give those services consent to set tracking technologies on this website. If you follow the link, the destination service may use its own cookies under its own policy.

Changes

This policy and the consent controls will be reviewed if new analytics, advertising, embedded media or similar technology is introduced.
