Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. We only use analytics cookies if you agree, and you can change your mind at any time.

Cookies we always use

These remember the choice you made about cookies, and protect the services we use from automated attacks. The site cannot work properly without them.

Analytics cookies, only if you agree

These let HubSpot recognise you when you come back, so we can see which pages and campaigns are useful. If you ask us for something, such as a Buyer’s Ten report, they let us see how you found us.

CookieSet byWhat it doesHow long it lasts
__hstcHubSpotThe main tracking cookie: records when you first and last visited, and how many visits you have made6 months

HubSpot sets these cookies and occasionally changes their names or how long they last. Its current list is on HubSpot’s website.

Other things we store in your browser

The Buyer’s Ten saves your answers in your browser’s local storage, so you can leave and pick up where you left off. They stay on your device and are only sent to us if you ask for your report. Clearing this site’s data in your browser removes them.

Analytics without cookies

We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies and without identifying you.

Our booking page

The calendar on our booking page is provided by HubSpot and loads from HubSpot’s own site. HubSpot may set its own cookies inside it.
