Cookie Policy

We use cookies to keep our website functional, improve performance, and understand how visitors interact with our content. This policy explains exactly what cookies we use and why.

Effective Date: 21 March 2026  ·  Applicable to fogsconsultants.com

1 What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device — computer, tablet, or smartphone — when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to website owners about how their site is used.

Cookies do not contain personally identifiable information by default. However, when combined with other data we hold, they may be used to identify you. In those cases, our Privacy Policy applies.

We respect your right to control cookies. You can withdraw or adjust consent at any time by updating your browser settings or contacting us directly.

3 Essential Cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our website. Without them, services such as contact form submission, page navigation, and security functions would not work correctly. They do not require your consent under applicable law.

  • Session cookies: Maintain your session state as you navigate between pages
  • Security cookies: Help detect and prevent malicious activity and cross-site request forgery (CSRF)
  • Load balancing cookies: Ensure consistent page delivery across our servers
  • Consent cookies: Store your cookie preferences so you are not asked repeatedly

These cookies expire at the end of your browser session or within a short fixed period.

4 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics tools to understand which pages are most visited, how long users spend on each section, and where visitors come from. This data is used in aggregate form and helps us improve the structure and content of our website.

  • Google Analytics (if enabled): Tracks page views, session duration, referral sources, and device types. Data is anonymised and not linked to individual identities
  • Internal logging: Server-side access logs retained for a maximum of 90 days for performance monitoring

Analytics cookies are only activated if you accept non-essential cookies.

5 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember choices you make — such as pre-filling contact form fields you've used before, remembering your region (UK or India), or maintaining your language preference.

  • Form auto-fill preferences
  • Region or office selection (UK / India)
  • Service category preferences from previous visits

These cookies do not track browsing activity across other websites.

6 Marketing Cookies

We may use marketing cookies to understand the effectiveness of our digital outreach and to serve relevant content to users who have previously visited our website.

At present, FOGS Consultants does not run paid advertising campaigns. If this changes, we will update this policy and request your consent before placing any marketing cookies.

We will never use marketing cookies to build personal profiles for third-party advertising networks or sell your browsing data to advertisers.

7 Third-Party Cookies

Some features of our website may be powered by third-party services, which may set their own cookies. These include:

  • Google Fonts / CDN providers: Load web fonts and optimise page performance
  • EmailJS: Powers our contact form submission system
  • Google Maps (if embedded): Enables location display for our UK and India offices
  • WhatsApp Chat Widget: Enables direct messaging via the floating chat button

We do not control third-party cookies. Please refer to the respective third-party privacy policies for full details on how they process data.

8 Managing Your Preferences

You have several options for controlling how cookies are used when you visit our website:

  • Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings menu. Refer to your browser's help documentation for specific instructions
  • Opt-Out Tools: For Google Analytics, you may use the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on
  • Contact Us: If you wish to withdraw consent or have specific preferences, contact us at info@fogsconsultants.com

Please note that disabling essential cookies will affect the functionality of our website, including the ability to submit enquiry forms or access certain content.

9 Cookie Retention

Different cookies are stored for different lengths of time depending on their purpose:

  • Session cookies: Deleted automatically when you close your browser
  • Persistent cookies: Remain on your device for a specified period (typically 30 days to 2 years) unless manually deleted
  • Analytics data: Aggregated analytics data is retained for up to 26 months before being anonymised
  • Consent records: Stored for 12 months, after which your preferences will be requested again

10 Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our website features. The revised policy will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.

If we introduce new types of cookies that require your consent, we will notify you via a banner on the website before placing them.
