Privacy and cookies.
The short version: this site measures nothing until you say yes. Decline the cookie notice and no analytics loads, no cookies are set, and nothing about your visit is sent anywhere.
Who we are
Nimble Panda is a software development studio based in Cheshire, United Kingdom. The legal entity behind it, and the data controller for this website, is NimblePanda Ltd, registered in England and Wales under company number 17122751, registered office 30 Grange Road, Barnton, CW8 4PE.
For anything on this page, including a request to see or delete the data we hold about you, email hello@nimblepanda.co.uk. We have no statutory data protection officer, because the scale and nature of what we process does not require one.
What happens before you choose
On your first visit you get a small notice at the bottom of the screen. Until you answer it, no analytics scripts load at all. Nothing is loaded in the background waiting for permission, and no third party is contacted.
Your answer is stored in your browser's local storage under the name np-consent, holding a single word, either granted or denied. It never leaves your device and we cannot read it. This is what stops the notice appearing on every page, and it is the only thing stored if you decline.
What we collect if you allow it
Choosing to allow analytics loads two tools. Both are used to work out which pages are useful and where people give up, so we can fix them. Neither is used for advertising, and we do not sell or share what they collect.
- Google Analytics 4 records which pages you view, roughly where in the world you are, and what kind of device and browser you use. We switch on IP anonymisation, and we deny Google's advertising storage and personalisation signals, so the data is not used to build an advertising profile of you. Google Ireland Limited acts as our processor. Data is kept for 14 months.
- Microsoft Clarity records how pages are used: scrolling, clicks, and a replay of the pointer moving around the page. Anything typed into a field is hidden before the recording leaves your browser, so we never see it. Microsoft acts as our processor and deletes recordings after 30 days.
Cookies
If you decline, this site sets no cookies whatsoever. If you allow analytics, these are set:
- _ga and _ga_HS3CG0LLC4, set by Google Analytics to tell one visitor from another. They expire after two years.
- _clck and _clsk, set by Microsoft Clarity to tie a session's pages together. They expire after a year and a day respectively.
You may also still have a cookie called FCCDCF from Google's advertising consent tool. We removed Google AdSense from this site on 8 September 2026 and nothing sets that cookie any more, but an old one will sit in your browser until it expires. Clearing your site data removes it.
What we never collect
There are no forms, no accounts and no logins on this site, so there is nothing here that asks for your name, address or payment details. If you email us, we hold that email in our inbox and reply to it, which is the whole of what happens to it.
We run no advertising and no third-party trackers. Fonts are served by Google Fonts, which sees your IP address as part of delivering the font file. That request happens on every visit because the page cannot render without it.
Your choices and your rights
Change your mind at any time using the Cookies link in the footer of any page. It reopens the notice, and choosing no thanks stops analytics loading from that moment on. Clearing your browser's data for this site also resets the choice.
Our legal basis for the analytics above is your consent, under the UK GDPR and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations. You have the right to ask what we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to withdraw consent. Email us and we will deal with it.
If you think we have handled your data badly and we have not put it right, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes to this page
If we add a measurement tool we will list it here and the date at the top will change. We will not add anything that runs before you have agreed to it.
