Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how The Consultancy Group ("TCG", "we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. It should be read alongside our Privacy Statement.

2. What are cookies?

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website you visit. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences between visits, and to provide analytics about how a site is used.

Some of the cookies we use are set by us directly ("first-party cookies"). Others are set by third-party services we use — for example, analytics providers ("third-party cookies").

3. Types of cookies we use

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They enable core things like page navigation, secure form submissions, and remembering which page you are on. The website cannot function properly without them. These cookies do not require your consent.

3.2 Analytics cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the website — which pages are most read, which content is most useful, and where visitors come from. The data is aggregated and anonymised wherever possible. We set these cookies only with your consent.

3.3 Functional cookies

These cookies remember choices you make — such as your cookie preferences or region — to improve your experience. We set these cookies only with your consent.

3.4 Marketing cookies

We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies on this website. If this changes in future, this Cookie Policy will be updated and we will seek your consent before any such cookies are placed.

4. Cookies currently in use

The specific cookies we use on this site include:

• Session cookies — strictly necessary. Used to maintain your session while navigating the site and submitting forms.
• Consent cookie — functional. Records your cookie preferences so we don't ask on every visit.
• Google Analytics (if enabled) — analytics. Used to measure traffic and engagement. IP addresses are anonymised.
• Contentful (CMS) — strictly necessary. Used to deliver page content from our content management system.
• Vercel (hosting) — strictly necessary. Used for site delivery and performance monitoring.

This list is indicative. If you would like a full, up-to-date list of cookies in use, please contact us (see Section 8).

5. Consent

When you first visit consultancygroup.com, we will ask for your consent to place non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies for this site, which will prompt the consent banner to appear again.

6. Managing cookies in your browser

You can manage cookies through your browser settings at any time — blocking cookies, deleting cookies already placed, or being warned before a cookie is set. Each browser handles this differently; the Help section of your browser will have specific instructions.

Please note that disabling all cookies may affect how some parts of the site work.

7. Your rights with respect to personal data

• The right of access
• The right to rectification
• The right to erasure
