Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the website owner.

When you visit the Compass Consult website, our server may place cookies on your browser to help us deliver a better, more personalised experience. Cookies do not give us access to your computer or any information about you other than the data you choose to share with us.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary for the website to function correctly. They enable core features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and form submission. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be switched off.
• Performance Cookies: These cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use our website — for example, which pages are visited most often and whether any error messages are received. All information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous. We use this data solely to improve how our website works.
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as language preferences or text size) and provide enhanced, more personal features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
• Marketing & Targeting Cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant adverts on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

3. Cookie Duration & Storage

Cookies can remain on your device for different periods of time depending on their type:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are used to manage your session while you are using our website.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device for a set period specified in the cookie, or until you delete them manually. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie.

4. Third-Party Cookies

In some cases, we use cookies provided by trusted third parties. The following third-party services may set cookies on our website:

• Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors engage with our website. This service may set performance and analytics cookies. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
• Netlify: Our website is hosted on Netlify, which may set technical cookies related to form submissions and site functionality.
• Embedded Content: Pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, maps). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if you had visited those websites and may set their own cookies.

We do not have access to or control over cookies set by third-party providers. You should check the respective privacy policies of these third parties for more information about how they use cookies.

5. Your Cookie Choices

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by adjusting the settings in your web browser to refuse some or all cookies. Please note that if you choose to block cookies, some parts of our website may not function properly or become inaccessible.

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You may withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser's cookies and adjusting your browser settings.
