Cookie Policy

This page explains what cookies are, which ones this website uses, and what that means for you.

This website currently uses only essential technical cookies — the minimum required for the site to function and to protect it from security threats. We do not use advertising, analytics, or tracking cookies of any kind.

1 What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, or to work more efficiently, and to provide information to website owners.

Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your device. Each cookie is unique to your web browser and contains anonymous information — typically a unique identifier, the website name, and some numbers and letters.

There are different types of cookies:

  • Session cookies — temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser
  • Persistent cookies — cookies that remain on your device for a set period of time
  • First-party cookies — set by the website you are visiting
  • Third-party cookies — set by a different organisation to the one whose website you are visiting

2 Cookies this website uses

This website itself does not set any first-party cookies. The only cookies placed on your device come from Cloudflare, which provides our website's security and performance infrastructure. These are described in the next section.

Not all of these cookies will necessarily be set on every visit. Cloudflare places cookies selectively depending on the traffic patterns it observes. You may see none, some, or all of the above during a typical visit.

3 About Cloudflare

Cloudflare is a web security and performance company whose services sit between this website and its visitors. All traffic to www.hglcollective.com passes through Cloudflare's network, which provides protection against attacks, spam, and malicious bots.

The cookies Cloudflare sets are strictly necessary for it to provide this security function. They do not track you across the internet, are not used for advertising, and do not collect personal information beyond what is technically necessary to identify whether traffic is coming from a human browser or an automated bot.

Cloudflare's own cookie policy and privacy information is available at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

4 What we don't use

🚫

No tracking. No advertising. No analytics.

We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other advertising or tracking technology on this website. We have no interest in monitoring your behaviour across the internet.

Specifically, this website does not use:

  • Google Analytics or any other analytics platform
  • Facebook, Instagram, or other social media tracking pixels
  • Advertising cookies of any kind
  • Remarketing or retargeting scripts
  • Session recording tools (such as Hotjar or Microsoft Clarity)
  • A/B testing platforms
  • Any third-party marketing technology

This may change in future — for example if we add analytics to understand how visitors use the site. If we do, we will update this Cookie Policy, add a cookie consent banner, and give you a meaningful choice before any non-essential cookies are placed.

5 Your choices

Because this website uses only essential security cookies, we do not display a cookie consent banner at present — under the UK's Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), strictly necessary cookies do not require consent.

However, you can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • See what cookies are stored and delete them individually
  • Block third-party cookies
  • Block cookies from specific websites
  • Block all cookies
  • Delete all cookies when you close your browser

Please be aware that blocking or deleting cookies may affect how websites function. If you block Cloudflare's security cookies, you may find that some pages load more slowly or that you are presented with additional security checks.

For guidance on managing cookies in your browser:

6 Future changes

When the Voices of the UK platform launches, it will have its own separate cookie policy covering any cookies used within that platform — including those related to user accounts, session management, and any analytics we may use to understand platform usage.

If we add any non-essential cookies to this website in the future (for example, analytics), we will update this page, introduce a cookie consent banner, and give you a genuine choice. The date at the top of the sidebar shows when this policy was last updated.
