Cookies Policy
This policy explains how Calibre Certifications Ltd uses cookies and similar technologies on this website. The short version: nothing is stored on your device until you say yes. We measure how the site is used, and until you accept that measurement stores nothing at all; the booking page embeds Google's calendar, which sets Google's cookies once you allow it. For how we handle personal data more generally, see our Privacy Policy.

team@calibre.acWhat cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website places on your device. Similar technologies, such as the storage built into your browser, work the same way for the purposes of this policy. Between them they let a site remember things about your visit, and let its operator measure how the site is used.
What this site sets
The short version
Nothing non-essential until you accept. Refuse, and we still count your visit — but with measurement that writes nothing to your device and cannot recognise you on your next one.
When you first arrive we ask one question, in a banner at the bottom of the page. Accepting and refusing are one click each, and you can change your answer at any time from 'Cookie settings' at the bottom of any page. Until you answer, the site behaves as though you refused.
There is no advertising or marketing technology on this site, nothing that follows you to other sites, and nothing that builds a profile of you as a person. Whatever you choose, the only thing we keep in your browser without asking is your own answer to this question — which stores nothing but the choice and its date, and is what makes honouring it possible.
Our typeface is part of the site rather than a request to somebody else: the font files are served from our own domain, so loading a page tells no third party that you visited.
Measuring how the site is used
We use PostHog to see which pages people read and which routes through the site work, so we can improve it. PostHog processes this for us on their EU infrastructure. We use it to understand the audience, never to identify you: we do not upload customer lists to it, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not attempt to work out who an individual visitor is.
What it stores depends on your answer. Refuse, or simply don't answer, and PostHog runs in cookieless mode: no cookies, no browser storage, nothing written to your device at all. It still records that a page was viewed, and works out a temporary visitor identity from a privacy-preserving calculation made on PostHog's servers rather than from anything kept on your machine. Accept, and it sets the cookies below, which let us tell a returning visitor from a new one and follow a journey across more than one visit.
Set by What it is Purpose Duration PostHog (only if you accept) First-party cookies and browser storage, named beginning 'ph_' Recognises the same browser across pages and visits, so page views can be joined into a session and a returning visitor is not counted twice Up to 12 months This site Your consent choice, in browser storage Remembers whether you accepted or refused, so we can honour it and stop asking Until you clear it or the policy changes materially Booking a call
Our Book a call page embeds Google Calendar's appointment booking tool, so you can pick a time without leaving the site. That embed is Google's, and it follows your answer to the banner. If you accepted, it loads with the page. If you refused, it does not load at all: in its place you are told that loading it sets Google's cookies, and nothing is requested from Google unless you choose to load it there — which changes your answer for the whole site, as that page says. Once the embed loads, Google may set its own cookies and read existing ones through it, including cookies from a Google account you are already signed into.
Set by What it is Purpose Duration Google Third-party cookies and storage within the booking embed Runs the booking tool, keeps you signed in to your Google account and supports Google's own security and preference functions Set and controlled by Google, not by us We do not control these cookies and cannot read them. What Google does with them is governed by Google's Privacy Policy and their cookie information. If you would rather not load the embed at all, simply don't: you can book by emailing us instead — the address is on that page and in the footer.
Server logs
Separately from cookies, our hosting provider keeps the ordinary request logs that every web server keeps, so the site can be served and kept secure. These are not cookies, they set nothing on your device, and they are not used to build a picture of you. See our Privacy Policy.
Managing cookies
Your answer is remembered on the device you gave it on, and 'Cookie settings' at the bottom of any page withdraws it — the banner comes back and the site returns to storing nothing. Withdrawing does not delete cookies already set: PostHog's you can clear through your browser, and for Google's you can block or delete third-party cookies in your browser settings, use private browsing, or manage what Google holds about you in your Google account. Blocking Google's may stop the booking tool from working, in which case email us and we will find a time by hand.
International transfers
Our analytics data is processed on PostHog's EU infrastructure. Google may transfer data collected through the booking embed to the United States. Where data leaves the UK or the EEA it is protected by appropriate safeguards, such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement and its addendum, or the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
Changes to this policy
If we ever add anything else that stores data on your device, we will ask for your consent before it loads and this policy will say so. Where a change alters what you are agreeing to, the banner asks again rather than assuming your old answer still stands. The date at the top shows when this policy last changed.
