1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Digital Advisory uses cookies and similar technologies. We are committed to respecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how your data is handled.
2. Our Position on Cookies
We do not use cookies for advertising, cross-site tracking, analytics profiling or personalisation. The only cookies used by our public website and related authentication services are first-party cookies that are strictly necessary to provide core functionality, keep sessions secure and protect the service from abuse.
Because these cookies are essential for security, authentication, session continuity or service delivery, they do not require prior consent under applicable cookie rules. We disclose them here for transparency and to support compliance with the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive and the UK's PECR.

4. Server-Side Tracking
Where we measure website usage, we use server-side methods designed to collect only anonymous, aggregated information needed to maintain and improve website performance. We do not store optional analytics identifiers, advertising identifiers or identifiable browsing profiles on your device.
5. Why We Chose This Approach
We believe this approach:
6. Third-Party Services
Our website does not use third-party advertising or analytics cookies, and we do not embed third-party content that sets optional tracking cookies. If in the future we integrate external services that rely on non-essential cookies, we will update this policy and provide clear options to consent or opt out.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our practices. Any updates will be published on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
