Cookie Policy
This page lists every cookie and every item of browser storage on this site, what each one does and how long it stays. Nothing used for statistics is stored until you choose "Accept analytics".
Cookies and storage on this site
NetherStart Partners runs this website and decides what it stores in your browser. A cookie is a small file a website keeps there and gets back with each request. Local storage and session storage hold similar items, but only the site's own scripts read them and they are not sent with requests. This page lists both kinds, item by item.
Only the strictly necessary items below, which keep the site and its forms working, are set without asking. Nothing for statistics is stored until you choose "Accept analytics". Refusing changes nothing you can do here: every page and every form works the same way. Who receives which data, and why, is set out in our privacy policy.
Your choice and how to change it
- On your first visit, a banner asks before anything optional is stored.
- "Accept analytics" allows the items in the analytics table below.
- "Reject" keeps only the strictly necessary items.
- Your answer is kept in your browser's local storage, as the first table shows.
- Change it at any time with "Cookie settings" in the footer or the button below.
- Clearing this site's data in your browser brings the banner back.
If you switch to "Reject", this site deletes the analytics cookies on its own domain and the stored form context, and from the next page the analytics scripts neither set nor read cookies. Cookies Microsoft has set on its own domains are outside this site's reach; your browser's settings can delete them.
Strictly necessary items, set without asking
These items keep the site and its forms working. They hold nothing used for statistics, and the site sets them without asking.
What this site stores without asking: the items the site and its forms need to work.
| Item | Kind | Set by | What it does | How long | Where |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Consent record nsp-consent-v1 | Local storage | This site | Remembers whether you accepted or refused analytics, so the banner does not ask on every page | Until you change your choice or clear this site's data in your browser | Every page |
| Form check (Cloudflare Turnstile) | Security check | Cloudflare, for this site | Checks that a person, not a script, is sending a form; a form cannot be sent without it | Anything the check keeps expires on the date your browser shows for it | Pages with a form: contact, client onboarding, invoice payment and the enquiry form on the home page |
| Cloudflare security cookie | Cookie | Cloudflare, for this site | Protects the site from automated traffic | Until the expiry date Cloudflare gives it | Any page Cloudflare protects |
Analytics, only after you accept
Google's analytics tag is on every page, but until you choose "Accept analytics" it runs with storage refused: it sets and reads no cookie and sends Google only cookie-less signals that a page was viewed. Microsoft Clarity masks what you type into forms. The two form-context items travel only with a form you send, as our privacy policy explains.
What this site stores only after you choose "Accept analytics".
| Item | Kind | Set by | What it does | How long | Where |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics cookies | Cookie | Google, through our analytics script | Tell visits and returning visitors apart, so we can count which pages are read | Until the expiry date Google gives them, unless you switch to "Reject" or delete them first | Every page, after "Accept analytics" |
| Microsoft Clarity cookies | Cookie | Microsoft, through our analytics script | Record how pages are used (clicks, scrolling, pages viewed), with what you type masked | Until the expiry date Microsoft gives them, unless you switch to "Reject" or delete them first | Every page, after "Accept analytics" |
| Microsoft cookies on Microsoft's own domains | Cookie | Microsoft | Microsoft's own use, under Microsoft's terms | Until the expiry date Microsoft gives them, or until you delete them in your browser | After "Accept analytics" |
| Form context between visits | Local storage | This site | Keeps the date of your first visit, the page you first landed on, the kind of source that brought you and your visit number, sent with a form you submit | Until you switch to "Reject" or clear this site's data in your browser | Every page, after "Accept analytics" |
| Form context of this visit | Session storage | This site | Keeps the pages you view in this visit, sent with a form you submit | Until you close the tab or switch to "Reject" | Every page, after "Accept analytics" |
Cookie-less tools and content loaded on request
Some services store nothing in your browser, and some run only when you ask for them.
Ahrefs Web Analytics
Counts visits on every page without a cookie and without storing anything in your browser, so it runs whether or not you accept analytics.
Cloudflare Web Analytics
Cloudflare, which hosts this site, counts page loads without a cookie and without storing anything in your browser.
Google Maps on the contact page
Nothing is requested from Google until you press "Show the map" on our contact page. The map then loads from Google, and Google's own cookies and terms apply inside it.
Paying an invoice
A card payment is completed on Stripe's page and a crypto payment on NOWPayments' page, where their own cookie notices apply. This site sets nothing for either.
Fonts and icons
Served from this site's own server. No font, icon set or video is requested from another company.
