Cookie Policy
Last updated: 11 April 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how The Site Book, operated by REDCLAN VENTURES LTD (Company No. 17142372), uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at thesitebook.co.uk.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how you use the service. Some cookies are essential for the site to work; others help us improve it.
2. How we ask for consent
When you first visit The Site Book, we show a cookie consent banner. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice is stored for 12 months. Essential cookies are always active because the site cannot function without them.
You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site — the consent banner will appear again.
3. Cookies we use
Essential cookies
These cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preference | 12 months |
| __clerk_* | Authentication session managed by Clerk | Session / 7 days |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare bot management (security) | 30 minutes |
Analytics cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use the site. They are only set if you accept cookies via the consent banner.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics — distinguishes unique visitors and tracks page views | 2 years |
| ph_* | PostHog — product analytics and feature usage | 12 months |
If you decline cookies, Google Analytics operates in Consent Mode v2 — a privacy-safe, cookieless mode with no personal identifiers. PostHog analytics are disabled entirely.
Advertising cookies
If you arrive via a Google Ads campaign, conversion tracking measures whether the ad led to a signup. This is only active if you accept cookies.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| _gcl_au | Google Ads conversion linker | 90 days |
4. Local storage
We also use browser local storage for a small number of functional preferences (e.g. consent state mirror, UI preferences). Local storage does not expire automatically but is cleared when you clear your browser data.
5. Managing cookies in your browser
You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent the site from functioning correctly.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
