This page explains how SafeSide Cyber uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. We've kept it short, because we use very few.
The short version
We do not use marketing cookies. We do not use analytics cookies. We do not track you across the web.
The only third-party tool that may set a cookie on our site is Google reCAPTCHA, which protects the Healthcheck submission from automated abuse. That's it.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a website. They're used for a wide range of purposes — some essential (like remembering you're logged in), some less so (like tracking you across different sites for advertising).
Similar technologies (such as local storage, session storage, and web beacons) work in comparable ways. For simplicity, this page refers to all of them as "cookies".
What this site uses
Essential cookies
The SafeSide Cyber website uses essential browser storage to keep you logged into the Healthcheck assessment between page loads, and to save your progress so you can resume later. This is not a traditional "cookie" — it's local storage, kept entirely on your device. It is never sent to us or to anyone else.
Third-party tools
| Tool | Purpose | Cookies set |
|---|---|---|
| Google reCAPTCHA v3 | Protects the Healthcheck submission from automated abuse (bots). | Sets cookies on the page where the assessment is submitted, used by Google to distinguish humans from bots. Subject to Google's privacy policy. |
| Google Fonts | Serves the Fraunces and Manrope web fonts used across the site. | Does not set cookies, but your browser does make a request to Google's font servers when the site loads. |
What we do NOT use
- Google Analytics, Hotjar, Mixpanel, Plausible, or any other website analytics tool
- Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or any social-media tracking
- Advertising or remarketing cookies of any kind
- Session-replay or heatmap tools
- Third-party live chat widgets
If we ever add a tool that sets non-essential cookies, we'll update this page first and ask for your consent before the tool runs.
Controlling cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
- See which cookies are stored on your device
- Delete cookies individually or all at once
- Block cookies from specific sites, or from all sites
- Browse in a "private" or "incognito" mode that discards cookies when you close the window
The major browsers' instructions are here:
Blocking cookies entirely may stop parts of our site working (specifically, the Healthcheck assessment may not be able to save your progress or verify your submission).
Changes to this page
We may update this page when we add or remove tools that affect cookies. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change.
