Cookie Policy

Last updated: 3 November 2026

This page lists everything this website stores on your device or reads from it, what each item is for, and how to remove it.

The short version

• We set no cookies for visitors.
• We use no analytics, no advertising and no tracking tools, and no "pixels" from LinkedIn, Meta, Google or anyone else.
• The fonts and images come from our own server. Nothing loads from other companies' servers while you read the site.
• Your browser keeps up to four small notes for this site, listed below. They stay on your device and are never sent to us.

What is stored on your device

Name	What it does	How long it stays	Consent needed?
fl-intro	Remembers that the home page has already drawn itself for you, so the intro does not play again on every visit to the home page.	Until you close the browser tab (session storage)	No, it only changes how the site works for you, and you can switch it off below
fl-maker	Only if you type your business name into the drawing on the home page: keeps that name, so it is still there when you come back.	Until you click "Clear", use the button below or clear your browser data (local storage)	No, it keeps a choice you made, and you can remove it below
fl-notice	Remembers that you closed the privacy note at the top of the page, and the date you did.	Until you clear your browser data (local storage)	No, it keeps a choice you made
fl-no-intro	Only if you switch the intro off below: remembers that you did.	Until you switch the intro back on or clear your browser data (local storage)	No, it keeps a choice you made

Session storage and local storage are small notes kept by your browser for one website. Unlike cookies, they are not sent to the website with every visit. This site reads them only inside your browser.

Why there is no cookie banner

UK law (the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations, as changed by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025) says a website must ask for your consent before it stores or reads anything on your device, with a few exceptions. Two of them cover everything on this site:

• Strictly necessary: something you asked for cannot work without it. Remembering that you closed the privacy note, or that you switched the intro off, is needed to respect that choice.
• Your preferences: storing something only to change how the site looks or works for you, in line with what you chose. The intro and the name on the drawing fall here. This exception applies only when the site tells you clearly what it stores and gives you a simple, free way to refuse it. This page and the buttons below do that.

If we ever add something that needs your consent, such as analytics that share data with another company, or an advertising pixel, it will not load until you agree, and you will be able to change your mind at any time.

How to remove it or switch it off

You can also remove everything at once in your browser: open its settings, find "site data" or "cookies and site data" and delete it for forgelead.co.uk. If your device is set to reduce motion, the intro never plays.

Other websites we link to

The "Book a call" buttons take you to Cal.com, and the LinkedIn links take you to LinkedIn. These are separate companies. Nothing from them loads on this site; once you are on their website, their own cookie and privacy policies apply. More about how we handle your data is in our Privacy Policy.
