Cookie policy
Every cookie this site sets, what it does and how long it lasts. There are fewer than you might expect, and none of them are for advertising.
Last updated: 5 October 2026
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on northlightreputation.com, what each one does, and how you can control them. It sits alongside our privacy policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They let a site remember things between pages and visits — whether you dismissed a notice, for instance. Similar technologies such as localStorage do much the same job, and we treat them the same way in this policy.
What we use, specifically
Strictly necessary
These are required for the site to function and are set without consent, as the law permits.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| nl_cookie_consent | Remembers your cookie choice so you are not asked on every page | 12 months |
| Form protection | Set by our form provider to detect automated submissions and spam | Session |
| Google reCAPTCHA | Shown on our contact forms to tell people from bots. Google sets cookies and processes your IP address and browser information to do this, under Google's privacy policy. It loads only on pages with a form. | Up to 6 months |
Analytics — only with your consent
If you choose "Accept all" we may set analytics cookies that tell us which pages are read, how people arrive, and where they leave. This is aggregated and used to improve the site. If you choose "Essential only", these are not set at all.
| Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| WhatConverts | Lead tracking: records which search, advert or referral brought you to the site and links it to the enquiry you send us, so we know which marketing works. Also records the enquiry details you submit. | Up to 24 months |
| Analytics provider | Measures page views, referral sources and general usage patterns | Up to 24 months |
What we deliberately do not use
- No third-party advertising cookies on this website.
- No cross-site tracking or data brokerage of any kind.
- No third-party fonts. Our typefaces are served from our own domain, so loading this site does not disclose your IP address to a font provider.
Managing your choices
You were asked when you first arrived, and you can change your mind at any time:
- Reopen the cookie settings on this site
- Clear cookies and site data through your browser settings, which resets your choice
- Block cookies entirely in your browser — note that this may affect how some parts of the site behave
Changes to this policy
If we add or remove a cookie we will update this page and the date at the top of it.
