Cookie notice

Last updated 9 September 2026

This application uses one cookie. It exists to keep you signed in, and it is the whole list.

NamePurposeExpiresType
connect.sid Identifies your signed-in session, so you are not asked to sign in again on every page. 7 days, or immediately when you sign out Strictly necessary

It holds a random identifier and nothing else — no name, no email, no settings. It is marked HttpOnly (scripts cannot read it), Secure (sent only over HTTPS) and SameSite=Lax (not sent from other sites).

Why there is no cookie banner

Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, consent is required for cookies except those strictly necessary to provide a service the user has asked for. A cookie that keeps you signed in to a service you deliberately signed in to is the standard example of that exemption.

There is nothing else to consent to. This application sets no analytics, advertising, personalisation or tracking cookies, and no third party sets cookies through it — there are no third-party scripts, fonts, embeds or iframes on any page. If that ever changes, a consent banner will appear before the change does, and this notice will be updated first.

We also use localStorage in your browser to remember small preferences, such as the last business you were looking at. That stays on your device, is never sent to us, and is cleared when you clear site data.

Refusing or removing it

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking this one means you cannot stay signed in, and the application will not work — there is no version of it that functions without knowing who you are.
