Cookies

How we use cookies and similar tracking technologies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information about you between visits. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and tracking pixels. Together these are commonly called "cookies and similar technologies".

What we use

Essential technologies

These are necessary for the site to function. They do not require your consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations.

  • Session and security tokens — set by our hosting provider Cloudflare to protect the site against bot attacks and to maintain basic session integrity. These do not track you across sites or sessions.
  • Account sign-in (rs_session) — set when you sign in to your RiskSorted account so you stay signed in. It contains a random token, not your personal details, and expires after 30 days or when you sign out.
  • Your cookie choice (rs-consent) — browser storage that remembers whether you accepted or rejected the advertising cookie below, so we do not ask you again on every page.
  • Form and chat state — temporary browser storage used to keep your place in the booking conversation and the contact form. This stays on your device.

Payment

Payment is taken on a page hosted by Stripe, our payment provider. Stripe sets its own cookies on that page for fraud prevention and security; they are covered by Stripe's cookie policy, not ours, and are not set on risksorted.com.

Advertising measurement — only with your consent

We advertise on Google. To know which adverts actually bring people here, we use the Google Ads tag. When you accept in the banner, Google stores a cookie (_gcl_aw) on your device recording that you arrived from one of our adverts, so that if you go on to book, that booking can be counted against the advert. The cookie lasts up to 90 days.

If you reject, no advertising cookie is set. Google receives an anonymous, cookieless signal that a page was viewed, which cannot be linked to you or to a later booking.

We do not use the tag for remarketing, and we do not show you adverts on other websites based on your visit here. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag or any other tracker.

Privacy-respecting analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. It does not use cookies, does not track individual visitors across sessions, does not share data with advertising platforms, and does not require consent. It tells us how many people visit, which pages are most popular, and roughly which countries visitors come from. It does not tell us who you are.

Browser controls

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when cookies are set. Blocking essential cookies will stop you signing in to your account.

For more information on managing cookies in your browser, the Information Commissioner's Office provides clear guidance at ico.org.uk.

Changes

This page is updated whenever we change what we use, and the "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent change. If we ever add another tracker, the banner will ask you again.
