Cookie policy

Cookies are small browser records sent with requests. Local storage stays on your device and is not automatically sent to the website. This policy covers both. You can browse the directory and contact us without enabling optional analytics.

ige:cookie-consent:v1 (local storage): saves your accept, reject or customised choice, the policy version and time. A choice is valid for 180 days; after expiry we ask again. It is not an advertising identifier.

rating:[company name] (local storage): remembers a rating you choose and prevents repeat voting on this device. It is created only when you rate a company, stays until you clear site storage, and is not submitted to a shared ratings service.

Infrastructure providers may use strictly necessary security or delivery cookies when required to serve and protect the website. These are not optional advertising or analytics tools.

Google Analytics 4 is blocked until you explicitly accept analytics. Rejecting optional cookies leaves it off. When enabled, cookies such as _ga and _ga_F4GSKJ9MPG distinguish visits and sessions and can last up to two years, subject to browser limits and Google settings. They may be renewed while analytics is permitted. The service receives page visits, device/browser information and network information. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store individual IP addresses, according to Google.

We do not enable advertising storage, Google signals or advertising personalisation. Withdrawing consent stops analytics by reloading the page and removes accessible first-party Google Analytics cookies; it does not erase data previously received by Google.

Company images may come from company domains, Google’s favicon service and delivery networks. These image requests disclose normal connection information to the provider; they are separate from optional Google Analytics. Following a company link takes you to that company’s website, where its own cookie choices apply.

Use Cookie settings in any page’s footer to accept or reject analytics at any time. No optional category is preselected. You can also delete cookies and site storage in your browser; this clears saved choices and ratings. Blocking storage does not grant analytics permission. A consent choice made in another tab is applied when this tab reloads.
