Cookie policy

Last refreshed 28 May 2026. A short, honest list of what runs in your browser and why.

1. What a cookie is, in two lines

A cookie is a small text file your browser stores on your device on behalf of a website. We use cookies for two reasons only: to keep the consultation form safe to submit, and — if you let us — to count how often each insight article is finished. We never use cookies for advertising.

2. The cookies we set ourselves

Strictly necessary (always on)

  • PHPSESSID — your private session identifier. Used to keep the consultation form draft and CSRF token consistent during your visit. Expires when you close the browser.
  • cc_cookie — set by the CookieConsent banner to remember the choice you made. Expires after six months.

Analytics (off by default)

  • qb_visit — a one-month rotating identifier used only to count unique readers of an insight. Anonymous; never linked to your name or email.

Preferences (off by default)

  • qb_pref_scheme — remembers if you chose a higher-contrast colour scheme. Expires after twelve months.
  • qb_pref_fsize — remembers if you increased the body font size. Expires after twelve months.

3. Cookies set by third parties (very few)

The CookieConsent banner library is loaded from a single content delivery network (jsdelivr.net). It does not, of itself, set any tracking cookies — only the cc_cookie listed above. We do not embed third-party fonts beyond Google Fonts (which sets no cookies on the front-end as we load via the link element). We do not embed video, social-media buttons, or third-party analytics.

4. Changing your mind

You can open the cookie preferences again at any time by clicking the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer, or by running this on the browser console: CookieConsent.showPreferences(). Optional categories can be switched on or off; necessary cookies remain.

5. Browser-level controls

Every modern browser lets you clear or block cookies. If you block strictly necessary cookies, the consultation form will not submit; everything else continues to work.
