Privacy choices

Optional tracking starts only after you allow it. You can use the site with every option off.

Your choice is remembered for up to 180 days on this browser. Withdrawal stops future optional collection and clears this site’s analytics identifiers. It does not automatically delete data already received.

Privacy notice

Website operator: Luke Collinson, operating CordonGrid. Privacy enquiries: luke@cordongrid.io. Notice prepared 19 October 2026.

Optional analytics

With consent, we use PostHog’s EU service to understand how this website is used. Visit analytics uses a random browser identifier to estimate unique browsers and sessions. It records page views, referral domain, country, device and browser categories, selected contact and booking link clicks, navigation, sections viewed, scroll depth and estimated active engagement time. A unique browser is not necessarily a unique person. Email clicks are not sent emails and booking link clicks are not completed bookings.

We do not identify visitors by name, create person profiles or capture form contents. We remove URL query strings, URL fragments, full referral paths and arbitrary link text from analytics events. We do not collect campaign parameter values.

Heatmaps and recordings

Heatmaps and session replay each require a separate opt in. Heatmaps combine click positions, pointer movement and scroll patterns. Session replay reconstructs page interactions; it does not record your screen outside this page. Text is masked, form areas and images are blocked, and canvas, embedded frames and media are excluded. Network headers and bodies, console output and automatic error capture are disabled.

Storage, location and retention

Your privacy preference is stored on this browser for up to 180 days. With analytics consent, PostHog uses local browser storage for a random visitor identifier and session information. Sessions normally end after 30 minutes of inactivity. These identifiers remain until consent expires, you withdraw it or you clear browser storage.

Analytics is configured for PostHog’s EU region in Frankfurt. A network connection necessarily exposes an IP address to the receiving service; the project must be configured to discard stored IP addresses and retain country level location only. The production connection will remain disabled until these settings have been verified. PostHog’s service terms and subprocessors may involve processing outside the EU; EU hosting is not a promise that every processing activity is restricted to the EU. See PostHog’s privacy information and data processing agreement.

The intended free plan provides one year of analytics retention and one month of replay retention. This setup will not enable paid billing. Data collection can stop when the free allowance is reached. Once connected, reporting will use aggregate results through an authenticated connection; private reporting credentials are not embedded in this website.

Your choices and rights

Our basis for optional analytics, heatmaps and recordings is your consent. You can reject all optional tracking or withdraw consent at any time through Privacy choices in the footer. Withdrawal takes effect on this browser, including other open tabs, and clears local analytics identifiers. It does not reverse earlier processing. Contact us for questions or requests to access, correct or delete data, or to exercise other applicable rights. Because we do not collect your identity in analytics, we may need information to locate a record. You may complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Contact forms and external links

If you email a consultancy enquiry, we use the contact details and information you provide to respond and manage the relationship. We retain correspondence only as needed for these purposes or to meet legal obligations. Our basis for responding is our legitimate interest in handling enquiries, or taking requested steps before a contract where applicable.

Booking opens CordonGrid Bookings. Your name, email and any guest email addresses are used to verify and arrange the meeting, create an iCloud calendar event and Zoom meeting, and send invitations and updates. Attendee email addresses are visible to other invitees. The booking site does not use optional analytics. Website hosting also involves operational and security processing by the hosting provider, including network information needed to serve the site. The choices on this page control the optional PostHog integration, not the hosting provider’s own operational records.
