Cookies
Effective date:
This site uses as few cookies as possible. This policy explains what cookies are, which ones you may encounter here, and how you can accept, refuse or remove them at any time. Only cookies that are strictly necessary are set without your consent.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device. They help a site remember things, such as your preferences or whether you're logged in. Similar technologies, like local storage, work in a comparable way and are covered by this policy too.
Cookies set by this site are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by other services, such as an embedded video player, are third-party cookies.
Cookies used on this site
Category | What it does | Consent needed |
|---|---|---|
Strictly necessary | Remembers your cookie choices and keeps you logged in to private case studies. The site can't work properly without these. | No |
Analytics | Helps me understand, in aggregate, which pages are visited and how the site performs. | Yes |
Embedded media | Set by video and music providers (for example, when you play a talk recording or a playlist) to deliver content and remember playback settings. | Yes, or loaded only when you choose to play |
I don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Strictly necessary cookies
These are set to make the site work, for example to store your cookie preferences or to keep a secure session when you log in to view private work. They don't track you across other sites, and they expire when you close your browser or after a short period.
Analytics
Analytics show me which content is useful and where the site could be clearer. Data is reported in aggregate and is never used to identify you or to build an advertising profile. Analytics cookies are only set if you accept them.
Embedded media
Some pages include content from other services, such as talk recordings or a music playlist. These services may set their own cookies once the content loads. Where possible, embedded media is loaded only after you accept the related cookies or click to play. Their use of data is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.
Managing your choices
You can change your mind at any time:
Cookie settings. Use the cookie settings link in the footer to accept or refuse each category.
Your browser. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site, such as private case studies, from working.
Third-party services. You can also manage cookies directly with the providers of embedded content.
Refusing analytics or embedded media cookies won't affect your access to the rest of the site.
How long cookies last
Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.
Persistent cookies stay for a set period, usually between a few days and 12 months, unless you delete them sooner.
Your cookie preferences are remembered for up to 12 months, after which you'll be asked again.
