What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences and, where allowed, understand how pages are used.

How we use cookies

Querymesh Hub uses essential cookies required for basic site functions (including remembering your cookie consent choice) and optional analytics cookies that run only if you accept them in the consent banner. Rejecting optional cookies does not block access to content, forms, or engagement pages.

Essential versus analytics

Essential cookies enable consent storage and core site behaviour. They do not require consent under UK PECR where strictly necessary, but we still disclose them here.

Analytics cookies help us see which pages are read most often. They are disabled until you choose Accept. Choosing Reject prevents analytics cookies from being set.

Managing cookies

You can change your mind by clearing site data for querymesh-hub.digital in your browser, which resets the consent banner on the next visit. You can also block cookies entirely in browser settings; note that blocking all cookies may affect preference storage.

Third-party cookies

Our primary analytics approach is first-party. If a future embedding (for example a hosted video) sets third-party cookies, we will update this table and request consent where required. Embedded fonts from Google Fonts may involve network requests to Google; they are not used as advertising cookies by us.

Impact of disabling

Disabling essential storage may cause the consent banner to reappear. Disabling analytics has no effect on reading pages, contacting us, or commissioning engagements.
