Cookie Policy
The Family Office Almanac
Last updated: 20 June 2026
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies the Almanac uses, and how you control them. It sits alongside our Privacy Notice.
Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR, we may set strictly necessary cookies without consent, but we must obtain your consent before setting any non-essential cookies (such as analytics). We do this through a consent banner on your first visit; you can change your choice at any time.
Strictly necessary cookies
These are needed for the site and the claim/edit process to work and cannot be switched off.
| Cookie / item | Set by | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
Consent preference (foa_cookies) | The Almanac | Remembers your cookie choice | 12 months |
| Authentication / session (claim & edit area only) | The Almanac (foa_session) | Keeps you signed in after a magic-link login | Session / short-lived |
| Security & load balancing | Cloudflare | Protects the site, routes traffic | Session / short-lived |
Analytics cookies (consent required — off by default)
These help us understand how the site is used. They run only if you accept analytics in the banner.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes users, measures usage | Up to 14 months |
Managing your choices
- Use the consent banner, or the "Cookie settings" link in the site footer, to accept or reject analytics at any time.
- You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site (especially the claim/edit area) from working.
Changes
We will update this policy if our use of cookies changes. The "last updated" date shows the current version.
