About this policy
[PLACEHOLDER: draft adapted from another project, awaiting review by the client and a qualified adviser]
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on this website, run by The Provision Pathway Ltd. For how we handle personal data more widely, see our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as your browser’s local storage, work in much the same way. Under UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we must ask for your consent before using any that are not strictly necessary.
What we use
Strictly necessary: we store your cookie choice in your browser’s local storage, so we do not ask you again on every page. It is not a cookie and it is not sent to us. The website itself sets no other cookies.
Analytics and booking: only if you choose Accept, we load Google Analytics, to understand how the website is used, and Calendly’s booking window, so you can book a consultation without leaving the page. Both set cookies. Nothing from either is loaded until you accept.

This table lists what we observed being set on this website in September 2026. Google, Calendly, Cloudflare and Stripe control their own cookies and may change them.
Booking without cookies
If you reject cookies, or have not yet chosen, you can still book a consultation. The booking buttons open Calendly in a new tab instead, where Calendly’s own privacy and cookie policies apply.
Managing your choice
When you first visit, you are asked to accept or reject. You can change your choice at any time using Cookie settings in the footer of any page.
If you withdraw consent, we stop Google Analytics and delete the Google Analytics cookies set on this website. Cookies set by Calendly, Cloudflare and Stripe belong to their own websites, so we cannot delete them for you. You can remove them, and any other cookies, in your browser settings. For more about managing cookies, visit allaboutcookies.org.

Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be on this page. If we make a significant change to the cookies we use, we will ask for your choice again.
