Cookie Policy
This page explains how Gateway Recruitment Ltd (trading as Gateway Recruitment) uses cookies and similar technologies on recruitmentgateway.uk. The short version: we use very few cookies of our own, and we've made deliberate choices to keep your data private.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves to your browser when you visit. They're used for a range of purposes — from keeping you logged in, to remembering your preferences, to tracking your activity across the web. Not all cookies are equal, and not all are intrusive.
What we use
Here is a complete list of the cookies and browser technologies used on this site:
| Name / Source | Type | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
Cloudflare Turnstile (cf_clearance) | Strictly necessary | Bot protection on our contact form. Verifies that submissions come from real people, not automated spam bots. Runs invisibly — you don't need to tick a box or solve a puzzle. | Session |
| Google Maps (Contact page) | Third-party (click-to-load only) | Our Contact page offers an interactive Google Map showing our Peterborough office, but it does not load automatically. You have to press a "Show interactive map" button before any request goes to Google. If you press the button, Google may set its own cookies in line with Google's Privacy Policy. These are Google's cookies, not ours. The rest of the site does not load any Google services. | Only set after click. Varies (Google). |
Sanity CMS (cdn.sanity.io) | Infrastructure | Blog content and images are served from Sanity's CDN. No cookies are set on your browser. | No cookie set |
| Cloudflare (hosting) | Infrastructure | This site is hosted on Cloudflare. Standard hosting does not set cookies on your device. | No cookie set |
That's the full list. We do not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels, remarketing tags, social media trackers, heatmap tools, or any other third-party tracking technology.
Google Maps on the Contact page
The Contact page offers an interactive Google Map showing the location of our Peterborough office, but the map is not loaded by default. Instead, we show a styled placeholder with a "Show interactive map" button. No request is made to Google, and no Google cookies are set, until you press that button. Our office address and a "Get Directions" link are available without loading the map.
If you press the button, Google receives your IP address and may set its own cookies on Google's domain. We do not control what Google sets, and those cookies belong to Google rather than to us. For details, see Google's cookie policy.
Managing cookies
Because we set so few cookies of our own, there is no cookie banner or preference centre on this site. The one cookie we set ourselves (Cloudflare Turnstile) is strictly necessary for our contact form to function securely — it cannot be disabled without breaking that feature.
You can always manage, block, or delete cookies (including Google's) through your browser settings:
For independent guidance on cookies and your rights, visit the ICO's cookie guidance.
Changes to this policy
If we ever add new technologies that set cookies, we'll update this page before doing so. The "last updated" date at the bottom of the page will reflect any changes.
