ST Consultancies Ltd (trading as ST Consultancy) · Last updated: 18 October 2026
This policy explains what cookies are, which ones our website uses, and how you can control them.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your computer or phone. They help the website work, remember your choices, and show us how people use it. Some cookies are set by us, and some by other companies whose services we use (for example Google).
2. Your choices
When you first visit our website, a banner asks whether you accept cookies. You can choose Accept All, Reject All, or Customise to pick which types you allow. Cookies that are strictly necessary are always on, because the website cannot work properly without them. Everything else is only used if you agree.
You can change your mind at any time: clear the cookies for our website in your browser settings, and the banner will appear again so you can choose again.

Advertising cookies
We do not currently use advertising cookies.
4. Other services we use
- Google Fonts: our website loads fonts from Google. This does not set cookies, but Google receives your IP address so it can send the fonts to your browser.
- TidyCal: when you book a call, you go to TidyCal’s website, which uses its own cookies.
- Social media links: if you click our LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook or X links, those websites may set their own cookies. Please check their cookie policies.
5. Controlling cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you see, block and delete cookies. Look in the settings or privacy menu of Chrome, Safari, Edge or Firefox. If you block all cookies, some parts of our website may not work properly. The website aboutcookies.org has step-by-step guides.
6. Changes to this policy
If we add or change cookies, we will update this policy and the date at the top.
