Cookie Policy
Last updated: 10 November 2026
This site is run by White Collar Consulting, LLC ("we", "us"), an American prison consultancy serving clients in the United Kingdom. Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR), we need your consent before storing anything non-essential on your device.
When you first visit, a banner asks for your choices. Nothing beyond strictly necessary storage is set until you save them. "Reject non-essential" works exactly as well as accepting: it is a real choice, not a dark pattern, and the site functions fully either way.
The categories
Strictly necessary. Your consent record itself. Without it we cannot remember that you said no, and the banner would follow you from page to page.
Analytics (off unless you opt in). Anonymous measurement of how the site is used: which pages are read, where visitors come from, whether our guides answer the questions that brought people here. We use Google Analytics 4 with Google Consent Mode, which stores nothing until consent is granted, and a privacy-first, cookieless analytics script.
Marketing (off unless you opt in). If we ever run advertising to this site, these would measure which campaign led to an enquiry. None are set without consent.
Cookies this site may set
| Name | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie-consent.v1 | Strictly necessary | Remembers your cookie consent choices (stored in localStorage, not a cookie, but governed the same way). | 6 months, then the banner asks again |
| gclid / wbraid / gbraid / utm_* | Analytics (consent required) | If you arrive from an advert, these remember which campaign brought you so enquiries can be attributed. Set only after analytics consent. | 90 days |
| GA4 measurement cookies (_ga, _ga_*) | Analytics (consent required) | Anonymous traffic measurement. Google Analytics 4 sets these only if you consent; until then Consent Mode keeps them denied and modelling fills the gap. | Up to 24 months |
Changing your mind
Clear this site's data in your browser (or delete cookie-consent.v1 from localStorage) and the banner returns on your next visit. We also re-ask every six months. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time; the site continues to work.
