01
What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of information that a website may store on or access from your browser or device.
They can help websites remember information, provide functionality, support security, understand website usage or enable other digital services.
Similar technologies such as scripts, tags, pixels or local storage may perform related functions. References to cookies in this policy include these technologies where appropriate.

LIVE INVENTORY
Specific cookies can change.
Cookie names, providers and durations can change when website services, plugins or integrations are updated.
CURRENT WEBSITE CONFIGURATION
We do not publish guessed cookie names or expiry periods.
Where the website's consent-management system provides a current cookie list or preference centre, that interface should be treated as the most current technical inventory of cookies detected on the website.
04
HubSpot forms and CRM
Ashford Growth uses HubSpot in connection with website forms, enquiry management and customer relationship management.
HubSpot-enabled features may use cookies or similar technologies in connection with form functionality, visitor sessions, preferences or website interactions, depending on the way those services are configured.
Information submitted through our Free Growth Audit form may also be transferred to our HubSpot CRM account so that we can review and respond to your enquiry.

05
Analytics and measurement
The website may use analytics or measurement technologies to help us understand matters such as page visits, navigation patterns, devices or interactions.
Where such technologies are not exempt from consent requirements, they should only operate in accordance with the choices made through the website's cookie controls.
Analytics information is used to help us evaluate and improve the website rather than to make guarantees about individual visitor behaviour.
06
Third-party technologies
Some features of the website are provided or supported by third-party technology providers.
Depending on the services currently enabled, these providers may place or access their own cookies or similar technologies.
Third-party services operate according to their own technical systems and privacy arrangements. Where their technologies require visitor consent, they should be controlled through the applicable consent mechanism.
07
Cookie consent
Some storage or access technologies can be used without consent where an applicable legal exception applies, including certain technologies that are strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the user.
Where consent is required, non-essential technologies should be controlled according to the choices you make through the website's cookie consent interface.
08
Managing cookies
Where a cookie preference or consent tool is available on the website, you can use it to accept, reject or manage relevant non-essential categories.
You can also control cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete stored cookies.
PLEASE NOTE
Blocking some technologies can affect how parts of a website work.
DATA & PRIVACY
When cookie data is personal information
Some information collected through cookies or similar technologies may constitute personal information, particularly where it can be linked to an identifiable individual or device.
Where that occurs, our handling of the personal information is also subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection law.
