Cookie Policy

This policy covers the Elizabeth Bookkeeping marketing website at elizabethbookkeeping.uk. We have kept it short because our use of cookies is short.

The summary

• No advertising cookies. None. We do not set cookies for ad targeting, retargeting, or audience building, and we do not participate in cross-site tracking of any kind.
• No third-party marketing pixels. There are no social-media tracking pixels or advertising beacons on this site.
• Essential cookies only. The site sets only cookies that are strictly necessary for it to function and to remember choices you make on it — for example, recording your consent preferences so we do not ask you on every visit, or supporting the security of forms you submit.
• Analytics only after consent, and only if enabled. If we enable analytics on this site, it will run solely after you have given explicit consent through a clear prompt. No consent, no analytics — and declining will never degrade the site or nag you.

Why our approach is unusual

Most marketing websites are instrumented to follow you; ours is not, as a matter of policy. We are asking to handle your financial records, and we think that request rings hollow from a company whose own website treats visitors as tracking inventory. Respect for your data starts before you become a client.

Essential cookies explained

"Strictly necessary" means the site does not work properly without them. For this site that category is limited to things such as: remembering the cookie choice you have made, protecting forms against misuse, and basic session integrity if a page needs it. These cookies do not profile you, are not shared with advertisers, and exist only to make the pages you asked for behave correctly.

If analytics is ever enabled

Should we switch on analytics to understand how the site is used, three commitments apply: it will be disclosed on this page, it will run only for visitors who have actively consented, and you will be able to withdraw that consent as easily as you gave it. Until this page says otherwise, you should assume analytics is not running.

Managing cookies yourself

You can view, block, and delete cookies through your browser settings, for this site or any other. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of a site working as intended. The Information Commissioner's Office publishes plain-English guidance on cookies and your choices, linked from this page's sources.

The client portal

This policy covers the marketing website. The client portal — the application clients sign into — is a separate, authenticated service; the cookies it needs for sign-in and session security are described to clients within the service itself.

Questions

If anything here is unclear, or you believe the site is setting something this policy does not describe, tell us at [email protected] and we will investigate and correct it.
