What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow services to remember information across pages or visits — for example, that you have already loaded a scheduling widget or that you have accepted a particular setting on another platform.
Some cookies are strictly necessary to make a feature work. Others are used for analytics, advertising, or personalisation, and require consent in many jurisdictions.
What this site does
This Site itself does not set its own analytics or marketing cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or similar tools. We do not run advertising or retargeting on our own pages.
The cookies that may be set when you use the Site come mainly from embedded services that provide scheduling, audio, and video features. Basic technical services such as hosting, forms, and fonts may also receive standard request information needed to deliver the website, but they are not used by us for advertising or behavioural tracking.
Embedded services and their cookies
Calendly powers the discovery-call booking widget embedded on our contact section. It sets cookies to operate the scheduling interface, remember your time zone, and complete the booking flow.
Triggered: when the contact section loads. More info: calendly.com/privacy
Buzzsprout hosts the Governance 360 podcast and provides the embedded player on the podcast section of the site. It may set cookies to manage playback state.
Triggered: when the podcast player loads. More info: buzzsprout.com/privacy
Descript hosts the embedded introductory video on the homepage. It may set cookies or receive standard request information to load the video player and manage playback.
Triggered: when the intro video player loads. More info: descript.com/privacy
How to manage cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
- See the cookies that have been set and delete them individually or in bulk.
- Block third-party cookies entirely.
- Block cookies from specific sites or for specific embedded services.
- Open a private or incognito window, where cookies are cleared at the end of the session.
For instructions specific to your browser, see aboutcookies.org or your browser's help documentation. Blocking cookies from the embedded services above may prevent them from working — for example, the Calendly widget may not load if its cookies are blocked.
If we add analytics later
If we add analytics, marketing tools, or behavioural tracking to this Site in the future, we will update this notice and, where required, present a clear consent mechanism before any non-essential cookies are set.
