This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies (local storage) used on codesky.co.uk, what they do, and how you control them. It sits alongside our privacy policy.
How we ask for your consent
When you first visit, a banner lets you accept all, reject all, or choose categories. Nothing optional is set until you choose. Your choice is stored in a cookie called codesky_consent for six months, after which we ask again. You can change it at any time from the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as "reject all" and do not show the banner.
Necessary
These keep the site working and cannot be switched off.

Analytics
Set only if you allow analytics cookies. They tell us which pages are used and which pages lead to calls, so we can improve the site. We do not use them to identify you.

_ga_ZNQFPRHS07 | Google Analytics | Keeps the current visit together | 2 years |

Google Analytics loads through Google Tag Manager and is set up with Google Consent Mode, so until you accept, nothing from Google loads at all. We do not use advertising or marketing cookies.
Third parties
The providers above have their own policies: Google, Nimbata and Result Studio. Google may process data outside the UK under its standard contractual clauses.
Changing or clearing cookies
Use the "Cookie settings" link in the footer to change your choice at any time. You can also delete cookies in your browser settings; if you delete codesky_consent, the banner will ask you again on your next visit.
