The one cookie
| Name | Where | Purpose | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| bsq_desk | The contact page only | Holds a security token so the form can tell a genuine submission from a forged one | Until you close the browser. The token it refers to expires on the server after two hours |
bsq_desk is set only while the contact form is working. If the form is unavailable and the page shows the email address instead, no cookie is set.
Why consent is not asked for
The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations let a site skip consent for something a visitor's chosen service cannot run without. The ICO's guidance on storage and access technologies explains this exception. The contact form cookie exists only so the form you choose to use works securely.
What the site does not use
- No analytics or statistics tools.
- No advertising or tracking cookies.
- No embedded maps, videos or social media widgets that set their own cookies.
- No local storage in the planning tools: they keep your answers in the open page only.
Controlling cookies
Your browser's settings let you refuse or clear cookies. Refusing the bsq_desk cookie stops the form from accepting a message; emailing hello@bizsproutiq.site still works.
Keeping this list current
Every cookie bizsproutiq.site sets appears in the table above, and the date at the top shows the last revision.
