What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let a site, or a service it uses, recognise your browser on later visits. Similar technologies, such as scripts that read device information, are covered by the same rules. In the UK, the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) govern cookies, and UK GDPR applies when cookies involve personal data.

This site is run by Fresh & Crispy, a joint venture of Flowconverts Ltd and Freshly Brewed Ltd. Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal data more broadly.

Cookies we use

The website itself does not set any cookies of its own. The cookies below are set by two third-party services we load on every page: Google Analytics 4 and HubSpot. Names and durations are set by those providers and can change; the list describes their standard behaviour.

CookieSet byPurpose
_gaGoogle AnalyticsDistinguishes one browser from another so visits can be counted. Typically lasts up to two years.
_ga_*Google AnalyticsKeeps track of the current session for our analytics property. Typically lasts up to two years.
hubspotutkHubSpotIdentifies a visitor's browser, and can link visits to a contact record if you later book a call. Typically lasts around six months.
__hstcHubSpotRecords visit timestamps and the number of sessions for analytics. Typically lasts around six months.
__hsscHubSpotTracks pages viewed within the current session. Typically lasts 30 minutes.
__hssrcHubSpotHelps HubSpot tell when a browser has been restarted. Lasts for the browser session.

All of these are analytics or tracking cookies. None of them is strictly necessary for the website to work. [To confirm: full cookie audit of the live site, including any cookies set by the HubSpot Meetings embed on the booking page.]

Other third-party requests

  • Google Fonts. Our typeface loads from Google's servers. Google Fonts does not set cookies, but your browser sends your IP address to Google to fetch the font files.
  • HubSpot Meetings. The calendar on our booking page is embedded from HubSpot. HubSpot may set its own cookies inside that embed.
  • The free audit. Running an audit takes you to our CRISP audit application at app.getcrisp.design, which has its own cookie arrangements. [To confirm: cookies used by app.getcrisp.design.]

Your choice, and how to change it

PECR requires consent before non-essential cookies, such as analytics cookies, are placed. Google Analytics and HubSpot tracking do not load on this website until you choose "Accept analytics" in the cookie banner. If you choose "Reject analytics", or make no choice, they stay off.

We remember your choice in your browser's local storage, which is strictly necessary for the banner to work. You can change your mind at any time: , or use the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page. If you withdraw consent, we delete the analytics cookies we can reach and stop the scripts.

Other ways to control cookies

You can also control cookies yourself:

  • Block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Most browsers let you block third-party cookies or clear cookies for a single site.
  • Install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on to stop Google Analytics recording your visits on any site.
  • Use a browser or extension that blocks tracking scripts.

Blocking these cookies will not stop the website from working. You can still read every page, run the free audit and book a call.
