Let's talk

Cookies

This site sets no cookies of its own. Three embeds store something, and none of them loads until you say yes.

We do not want your data, and the site is built so that we do not collect it by accident.

The short version

This site sets no cookies of its own. Anything stored on your device comes from three embedded things — the HubSpot forms, the Tito booking widget on an event page, and one YouTube video in an article — and none of them loads until you accept it. If you decline, or ignore the banner, nothing is stored at all.

Not all of it is cookies. Two of the three use your browser’s local and session storage instead, which does the same job and is subject to the same rules, so we ask before loading them either way. Where we know exactly what is set, it is named below.

What is stored, and when

The enquiry and newsletter forms. These are embedded from HubSpot. Loading one causes two third parties to set a cookie:

  • __cf_bm Cloudflare, who serve HubSpot’s form scripts. Distinguishes people from bots. Expires after 30 minutes.
  • _GRECAPTCHA Google, whose reCAPTCHA protects the form from automated submissions. Set by Google when the form loads.

Neither is set unless you accept. Until then the page shows a panel where the form would be, with a button to accept and load it, and an email address if you would rather not.

Event booking. Where an event takes bookings, the form is embedded from Tito. It sets no cookies — we checked, on a real booking. Instead it keeps a sessionId in your browser’s session storage to hold your place in the form, which your browser discards when you close the tab. Loading the widget also brings in PayPal, because Tito uses them to take payment, and PayPal writes a __paypal_storage__ entry to local storage on this site even for a free ticket.

The same rule applies to both: nothing is loaded until you accept. Until then the page offers a link to that event’s booking page on Tito’s own site, which works exactly the same way.

One video. One article, How an Accountancy firm has adapted to meet customer needs using technology, carries a YouTube video. Loading the player means Google receives your IP address and information about your browser, and playing it lets them set their own cookies and storage. The player is not in the page at all until you accept: until then you get a panel offering to load it, or a link to watch the same video on YouTube, where their own terms apply.

Nothing else. No advertising trackers, no pixels, no third-party analytics, no social media buttons that phone home.

How we count visitors without cookies

Our host, Statichost, counts page views on the server. It records no cookie, stores no identifier, and cannot follow you between websites or between visits. We can see that a page was read; we cannot see that it was you.

Your choice

Your answer is stored in your browser’s local storage — not in a cookie — under cookie-consent. It never leaves your device and we never see it.

To change your mind, use Cookie settings in the footer of any page. Clearing your browser’s data for this site also clears it, and you will be asked again.

Choosing to decline

Declining costs you nothing except the three embeds: the forms, the booking widget and the video. Each one is replaced by a panel offering another way through — email us, book on Tito’s own site, watch on YouTube. Everything else on the site works exactly the same, and you can still reach us by general.manager@biztech.org.uk or on 0330 127 3454.

If this changes

This page changes before the site does, not after. If we add anything that sets a cookie or stores anything on your device, it is described here first.

Last updated 8 September 2026. On that date we measured what each embed actually stores, rather than describing what we assumed it stored.
