1. What this Cookie Policy covers

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why they may be used on the AnchorPoint website, what categories of cookies the website currently presents to visitors, how you can control them, and how cookie-related data may be linked to other information you choose to provide to us, such as when you submit a contact enquiry or request a consultation.

This Cookie Policy applies to the public website and related pages that describe our advisory services in areas such as compliance, risk, privacy, data protection, and cybersecurity. It does not by itself govern any later client engagement, which would be covered by a separate engagement letter, proposal, or service agreement.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files or similar technologies placed on your device when you visit a website. Depending on how they are configured, they may help a website remember your preferences, keep core functions working, measure site usage, support embedded tools, or help website operators understand how visitors interact with pages and content.

Some cookies last only while your browser session is open. Others stay on your device for a longer period so that your browser or device can be recognized when you return. The website may also use related technologies such as scripts, pixels, tags, local storage, or similar tools that perform comparable functions.

3. Cookie categories currently presented on the website

The website’s current consent banner presents the following cookie categories. The descriptions below are written to match that public-facing banner while also explaining what each category generally means for visitors.

Category What it does Examples of use Your control
Necessary Supports essential site features and remembers consent choices. Core site operation, security-related functions, or cookie preference management. Usually active because the site needs them to function properly.
Functional Helps the site remember choices and enable convenience features. Social sharing tools, feedback tools, embedded features, or interface preferences. Can usually be accepted or rejected in the consent tool.
Analytical Measures how visitors use pages and content. Page visits, bounce patterns, traffic sources, or general performance insights. Can usually be accepted or rejected in the consent tool.
Advertisement Supports advertising or campaign measurement where enabled. Ad relevance, campaign effectiveness, or limited promotional tracking. Can usually be accepted or rejected in the consent tool.
Unclassified Represents cookies still being assessed or categorized. New tools, plugins, or technologies not yet fully mapped in the banner. Handled through the consent tool until classification is finalized.

Website note: the current banner shows these categories and includes accept, reject, and customization controls. Individual cookie names may be updated over time as tools are enabled, disabled, or reconfigured.

4. Why we use cookies and similar technologies

We may use cookies and similar technologies for the following reasons:

  • to keep the website operating properly and support basic navigation or security-related functions;
  • to remember your cookie preferences and other site settings;
  • to understand how visitors use the website so we can improve content, page layout, and user experience;
  • to support embedded or interactive features where these are used on the site;
  • to measure the effectiveness of website pages, outreach, or promotional activity where relevant; and
  • to help us maintain, protect, and improve the public-facing website over time.

5. Information that may be collected through cookies

Depending on the cookie or tool involved, cookie-related technologies may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, language settings, pages visited, date and time of access, referring page, approximate location inferred from IP, and general website interaction patterns.

Where you also submit information directly to us through the website, such as your name, email address, subject line, or message in the contact form, we may use that information under our Privacy Policy. We do not use this Cookie Policy to expand our rights beyond what is stated in the website Privacy Policy or applicable law.

6. How consent works on this website

The website currently presents a consent tool that allows visitors to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize their preferences. Necessary cookies may remain active because they are generally required for core site functionality or to remember your preference settings.

For non-essential cookies, we aim to rely on your choice through the cookie banner or similar controls where required by applicable privacy law. You can also manage certain cookies through your browser settings. Rejecting or disabling some cookies may affect the availability or performance of specific website features.

7. Third-party cookies and embedded tools

Some cookies or similar technologies may be set by third-party tools, plugins, social media integrations, analytics providers, or other service providers that support the website. Where this happens, those third parties may process limited technical or usage data in accordance with their own privacy notices and cookie practices.

Because website tools can change over time, the exact third-party services used on the site may be updated from time to time. If we materially change how non-essential tracking is used, we should also update this Cookie Policy and, where appropriate, the cookie banner and the website Privacy Policy.

8. How you can manage cookies

Contact us If you have questions about how cookies are used on the website, contact us using the details below.

9. How long cookie-related data may be kept

The lifespan of a cookie depends on the purpose it serves. Some cookies expire when you close your browser session, while others remain for a longer period so that preferences or recognition can persist between visits. Where cookie-related information is linked to broader website analytics, security logs, or enquiry records, retention may also be governed by our Privacy Policy and our operational needs.

We aim to avoid keeping cookie-related information longer than reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to legal, security, and record-keeping requirements.

10. Your privacy choices and rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have rights in relation to personal data collected through cookies or similar technologies. These may include the right to know what information is collected, the right to withdraw consent where consent is relied upon, the right to request access or correction, the right to object to certain processing, or the right to make a complaint to a relevant privacy regulator.

For more detail on how we handle personal information connected to website use, please review our Privacy Policy.

11. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the website, the technologies we use, applicable legal requirements, or our business operations. When we make updates, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. Where a change materially affects your choices, we should also update the cookie banner or other website notices as appropriate.
