Cookie Policy

This policy explains the use of cookies and similar technologies on Advisor Toolkit, a service of THINKERZ LTD trading as Thinkerz Consulting.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small files stored on your device by a website. Similar technologies, including local or session storage, can be used to maintain a session, remember technical settings or support security and functionality.

2. Cookies and storage we use

Advisor Toolkit is designed as a low-tracking professional-services website. We do not deliberately use advertising, behavioural profiling, social-media tracking pixels or session-recording tools.

Essential technical technologies may be used for purposes including:

• delivering and securing the website through the hosting/application platform;
• maintaining authentication when authorised Thinkerz staff use the private administration area;
• maintaining security, load-balancing or other technical functions required to operate the service;
• running Cloudflare Turnstile on public submission forms, including the enquiry form and readiness-check creation, to detect and block automated abuse.

3. Analytics and advertising

We do not currently operate analytics or advertising cookies on this site. If we introduce a non-essential cookie or similar technology that requires consent under applicable law, we will update this policy and put an appropriate consent mechanism in place before using it.

4. Why there is no cookie banner

A consent banner is not displayed because the site is intended to use only technologies that are strictly necessary to provide or secure the service. This includes the security signals used by Cloudflare Turnstile. We have not enabled Turnstile pre-clearance, so the site does not use Turnstile to issue a pre-clearance cookie. Strictly necessary cookies and equivalent security technologies do not generally require prior consent under the UK rules that apply to cookies and similar technologies.

5. Managing cookies

Most browsers allow you to inspect, block or delete cookies and stored website data. Blocking essential cookies may prevent some functionality from working, particularly staff authentication and private administration features.

6. Cloudflare Turnstile

Turnstile runs a security challenge in the browser and returns a token that our server validates with Cloudflare before accepting a protected public submission. Cloudflare may process technical signals such as IP address, user-agent, browser characteristics and the site key/origin for the purpose of detecting bots. We do not use Turnstile for advertising or behavioural profiling.

Cloudflare provides further information in its Turnstile Privacy Addendum.

7. Changes and contact

We may update this policy if the technology used by the site changes. For more information about personal data, see our Privacy Policy. Questions may be sent to hello@thinkerz.co.uk.
