Essential technologies
These are required to deliver a secure service and are not used for advertising. They may include a session cookie for signed-in providers, anti-forgery and load-balancing state, consent storage and Cloudflare security or Turnstile signals. Blocking them can prevent sign-in or form submission.

Optional analytics
When Google Analytics is configured, it is kept disabled until the applicable consent choice allows measurement. Analytics helps us understand page performance, searches and conversion journeys in aggregate. We do not enable advertising personalisation through this site configuration.
Changing your choice
You can clear HGV247 storage and cookies in your browser to reset a saved choice. A live consent control will be shown whenever optional analytics is enabled in production. Withdrawing consent does not affect essential session and security technologies.
Third-party services
Google, Microsoft or Facebook may set their own cookies when you choose their sign-in flow on their domain. Stripe may do so in its secure checkout or billing portal. Those services explain their technologies in their own notices.
