Cookie notice
What this site stores on your device, and why.
Last updated: 2 September 2026. Version 1.1.
The short version
hhei.org.uk does not use advertising trackers, social media cookies, or behavioural profiling. We do not share device or browsing data with marketing platforms. We use two privacy-first measurement tools, described under Analytics below, which set no cookies and store nothing on your device. There is no cookie banner because there is nothing for you to consent to that the ICO would consider non-essential.
What we do store
We use a small number of strictly necessary cookies and equivalent local-storage entries to make the site work. These are exempt from consent requirements under regulation 6(4) of the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR).
- Session and authentication tokens set by Supabase when an administrator signs in to manage content. These are not set for ordinary visitors.
- Form-state entries in browser local storage so a partly-filled form is not lost if the page reloads.
- Theme preferences if the visitor changes any visual setting we expose.
Analytics
We use two cookieless measurement tools to count page views and see which pages people find useful. Neither sets cookies, writes anything to your browser storage, follows you across other websites, or builds a profile of you. Both report aggregate figures only, such as page, country, referring site, and device type.
- Ahrefs Web Analytics. See ahrefs.com/privacy-policy.
- Vercel Web Analytics, provided by the company that hosts this site. See vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
Both act as our processors. Neither is an advertising network.
Embedded third parties
Two third-party services may set cookies if you choose to use them:
- Calendly, when you click a "book a call" button. Calendly is the data controller for any data you enter on its scheduling page. See calendly.com/privacy.
- Google Fonts, served at page load to render Inter Tight and Outfit. No cookies are set; an IP address is briefly visible to Google's CDN. See policies.google.com/privacy.
Your controls
You can clear cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings. Doing so will not affect your ability to read the site. It will only sign administrators out of the content management area.
