Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to the website owner.

When you visit the Compass Consult website, our server may place cookies on your browser to help us deliver a better, more personalised experience. Cookies do not give us access to your computer or any information about you other than the data you choose to share with us.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary for the website to function correctly. We use them to remember your cookie consent choice, support form handling, and maintain core security and accessibility features. The website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be switched off.
• Performance Cookies: These cookies are not set by default on this website. If we add analytics tools in future, they will only be activated after you have given consent.
• Functionality Cookies: We do not currently set standalone functionality cookies on this website. If we introduce optional convenience features in future, they will only be activated after you have given consent.
• Marketing & Targeting Cookies: These cookies are not set by default on this website. If future campaign tools or third-party promotional embeds are added, they will only load after you have opted in.

3. Cookies We Currently Use

The table below summarises the cookies currently used by the website or enabled by your preferences:

• compass_cookie_preferences - essential - stored for up to 180 days - remembers whether you accepted, rejected, or customised cookie settings.
• Netlify technical cookies - essential - usually session-based or short-lived - may be used when forms are submitted or to support core hosting functionality.
• No standalone functional, analytics, or marketing cookies are set by default - optional categories remain inactive unless future features are added and consented to.

If additional optional tools are introduced in future, we will update this policy before those cookies are activated.

4. Third-Party Cookies

In some cases, trusted third parties may set cookies when their services are used on our website. At present, the main examples are:

• Netlify: Our website is hosted on Netlify, which may set technical cookies related to form submissions and site functionality.
• Embedded Content: If we add videos, maps, or other third-party embeds, those providers may set their own cookies once the content is loaded and, where required, once you have consented.
• Future Analytics or Campaign Tools: If these are introduced later, they will be configured so they only load after the relevant consent category has been accepted.

We do not have access to or control over cookies set by third-party providers. You should check the respective privacy policies of these third parties for more information about how they use cookies.

5. Your Cookie Choices

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences by adjusting the settings in your web browser to refuse some or all cookies. Please note that if you choose to block cookies, some parts of our website may not function properly or become inaccessible.

Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. You can update your selection at any time using the cookie controls on this page or your browser settings.
