Cookies
This website does not use cookies. That is the whole answer — the rest of this page explains what that means and what we do instead.
In force from 25 August 2026
1. We set no cookies
Browsing gc-research.com writes nothing to your browser. No cookies, no localStorage, no sessionStorage, no device fingerprinting. You do not need to accept anything, and there is no banner to dismiss, because there is nothing to consent to.
This is unusual enough to be worth stating plainly rather than burying. It is also the reason this page is short.
2. What we don't run
Specifically, and deliberately, none of the following are present on any page:
- Analytics — no Google Analytics, no tag manager, no self-hosted analytics either.
- Advertising and remarketing — no ad pixels, no conversion tags, no audience lists.
- Social media widgets — links to our profiles are ordinary links, not embedded scripts that report your visit.
- Embedded third-party forms or chat — our forms are our own code, posting to our own server. No third-party form script loads in your browser.
- External fonts — typefaces are served from our own domain, so viewing a page does not disclose your visit to a font provider.
3. What happens instead
Two things do involve data, and neither uses a cookie:
| What | What it involves |
|---|---|
| Server records | Our host records the standard information any web server records in order to serve a page and defend against abuse: IP address, time, page requested and browser user agent. Retained short-term, for operations and security. |
| Submitting a form | The information you type is sent to our server and on to our CRM or newsletter provider. Nothing is stored in your browser as part of that, and nothing is read from it. Details are in the Personal Data Policy. |
4. If this changes
If we ever introduce a cookie — for analytics, or to link a form submission to an earlier visit — we will update this page before it goes live, and non-essential cookies will only run after you have given consent. Your consent, or refusal, will be as easy to withdraw as it was to give.
