Cookie policy
Very little happens here. This is all of it, in full.
The honest summary
This site sets no advertising cookies, no tracking cookies and no analytics cookies. Nothing here follows you to another website. We do count page views, using Cloudflare Web Analytics, but it works without putting anything on your device at all — so it does not appear in the table below, because there is nothing to put in it. What the site does store is a handful of items on your own device so it behaves sensibly, listed in full below.
Strictly speaking, most of what follows is local storage rather than cookies. UK law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations) treats both the same way, so we list both here and call the page what people actually search for.
Everything this site stores
This table is generated from the site's own code. It cannot fall out of date: if a developer adds something that is not listed here, the build fails.
| Name | Type | What it is for | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| gd-theme | Local storage | Remembers whether you chose light or dark mode, so the site does not flip back every visit. | Until you clear your browser storage |
| gd-consent | Local storage | Remembers your answer to the cookie notice, so you are not asked again. | 12 months |
| gd-qualify | Local storage | Holds a part-finished Start a Project answer set on your own device so you can pick it back up. It never reaches us unless you press send. | 6 hours, then discarded automatically |
| gd-recent-searches | Local storage | Your last five searches, shown back to you in the search box. Stays on your device. | Until you clear them, or clear your browser storage |
| gd-gate | Session storage | Remembers that you entered the PIN for the holding screen, so you are not asked again while the site is being finished. Removed when the holding screen is switched off. | Until you close the tab |
| gd-admin-token | Session storage | Signs the site owner in to /admin. Only ever set for the site owner. | Deleted when the tab is closed |
| g4d_demo_v1 | Local storage | Holds the sample bookings, jobs and customers you create while playing with the demo at /systemsdemo, so it still looks like a real business if you come back. It is made-up data on your own device and never reaches us. | Until you clear your browser storage |
| gd-gate-live | Local storage | Remembers whether the holding screen is currently up, as the site last reported it, so the right thing is shown the instant a page opens rather than a moment later. It holds no information about you. | Until you clear your browser storage |
| gd-admin-preview-size | Local storage | Remembers the desktop or mobile choice in the admin preview. Only ever set for the site owner. | Until browser storage is cleared |
Your choices
Everything in that table is strictly necessary — the site could not do what you asked of it without them, and under UK law strictly necessary storage does not need your consent. We still show you a notice, because you should know what is happening on your own device.
The notice also offers an Analytics switch, and this one is different: it is on unless you turn it off. Permission is required for putting things on your device, and Cloudflare Web Analytics puts nothing there — it cannot tell one visit from the same person twice, let alone follow you elsewhere. So we count by default and give you the switch to refuse, rather than asking permission we do not need and then reporting numbers that only include the people who pressed Accept. Turn it off and we stop counting you from your next page load.
Change your mind at any time.
Refusing is as easy as agreeing — one tap, on the first screen, same size button. Your answer is remembered for 12 months and then we ask again.
Clearing it yourself
You are always in control of your own browser. Clearing site data for this domain removes every item in the table above, in every browser, on every device. Your browser's help pages explain how; in most of them it is under Privacy or Site settings.
Blocking storage entirely will not break the site. You will just be asked your theme preference again each visit, and the Start a Project questions will not resume where you left off.
Other people’s cookies
If you click through to WhatsApp, Instagram or our demo hub, you leave this site and those services set their own cookies under their own policies. We have no control over them and no visibility of them.
In effect since October 2026. If we change anything material we will update this page and move that date. Questions, or a request about your data: waj@gener4tion.digital.
