Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work properly and allow us to understand how it is being used.

Cookies We Use

Essential cookies: a small number of cookies are necessary for this website to function correctly, such as remembering your cookie preferences.

Analytics cookies: we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this website, including which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, and the device and general location they are using. This information helps us improve the site and its content. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information in an aggregated, largely anonymised form. You can find out more about how Google uses this data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Anti-bot check on the Board Readiness Check: the form at the end of the Board Readiness Check is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which confirms that a submission comes from a person rather than an automated script. To do that it may store a short-lived value in your browser and it receives your IP address. It is not used to track you between websites, it is not used for advertising, and it does not build a profile of you. If you never open the Readiness Check, this never runs.

The Readiness Check itself: your answers are held in your browser while you work through the questions and are only sent to us if you complete the form and ask for your report. Working through the questions and viewing your score sets no tracking cookies and sends us nothing.

Fonts: this site loads its typefaces from Google Fonts. That does not set cookies, but it does mean Google receives your IP address when a page loads. This is explained in our Privacy Policy.

We do not use cookies for advertising or marketing retargeting purposes.

Controlling Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these settings in the "options" or "preferences" menu of your browser. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, some parts of this website may not function as intended. In particular, if your browser or an extension blocks scripts from Cloudflare, the anti-bot check on the Board Readiness Check will not load and the form will not let you submit. You can still complete the check and see your score; if you would like the full report in that situation, email us and we will send it over.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal or regulatory reasons. Any changes will be posted on this page.
