Last updated : 31st August 2026

1. About this policy

This policy explains how gdprconsultant.co.uk, operated by Alex Goodman, a sole trader trading as GDPR Consultant, uses cookies and similar technologies. It should be read alongside our Privacy Notice.

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve how they perform, and to provide information to the site owner.

2. Your consent

When you first visit our site, you are shown a cookie banner. Cookies that are not strictly necessary, including our analytics cookies, are switched off until you give consent through that banner. You can accept or reject non-essential cookies just as easily, and you can change your choice at any time by reopening the cookie settings on our site or by clearing cookies in your browser.

Strictly necessary cookies do not require your consent, because the site cannot function properly without them.

3. The cookies we use

Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are needed for the site to work and to remember your cookie choices. They are set by our platform provider, GoHighLevel, and by the cookie banner itself.

  • Cookie consent preference. Remembers the cookie choices you have made so you are not asked again on every visit. Duration: up to 12 months.

  • Platform session and functional cookies. Keep the site working correctly during your visit, for example when you submit a form or use the booking calendar. Duration: session, or as set by GoHighLevel.

Analytics cookies (set only after you consent)

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it. These cookies are only set once you accept analytics cookies through our banner.

  • _ga. Used to distinguish visitors. Duration: 2 years.

  • ga[property identifier]. Used by Google Analytics 4 to keep track of session state. Duration: 2 years.

Google Analytics is configured so that Google advertising and personalisation features are switched off. We do not use it for advertising.

Other features

Our site includes a live chat feature and a reviews display, both provided through GoHighLevel. These features may set additional cookies. 

4. Managing cookies

You can manage cookies in two ways:

  • through the cookie banner and settings on our site, where you can accept or reject non-essential cookies and change your choice at any time; and

  • through your browser settings, where you can block or delete cookies. Please note that if you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the site may not work properly.

5. Third party cookies and international transfer

Our analytics cookies are provided by Google, which processes this information in the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside the United Kingdom, we rely on appropriate safeguards, as described in our Privacy Notice. Our Privacy Notice also explains how fonts loaded from Google involve your IP address being shared with Google.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it was last changed.
