Cookie Policy
Last updated 30 September 2026.
This page explains the cookies and browser storage used on skillvortex.co.uk and account.skillvortex.co.uk (this marketing and account site). Once you sign in to your own SkillVortex instance (yourcompany.skillvortex.co.uk), that application sets its own sign-in cookie under the same principles — it isn't listed separately here since it's your own private instance.
You control non-essential cookies through the banner shown on your first visit, or at any time via the "Manage cookies" link in the footer of the homepage or your account page.
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working and can't be switched off. They don't require consent under UK GDPR.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
customer_session | HTTP cookie (httpOnly) | Keeps you signed in to your SkillVortex account at account.skillvortex.co.uk. | 12 hours |
sv_cookie_consent | Local storage | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies, so we don't ask again every visit. | Until you clear your browser storage |
Analytics (only if you accept)
We use Google Analytics 4, run through Google Tag Manager, to see aggregate traffic and page usage — nothing is collected unless you accept. Rejecting, or not making a choice, means none of these are set.
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics | Distinguishes one visitor from another. | Up to 2 years |
_ga_<container-id> | Google Analytics | Persists session state for this property. | Up to 2 years |
We don't run advertising or remarketing cookies — there's nothing to opt into beyond analytics.
How to change your choice
Click "Manage cookies" in the footer of any page to reopen the banner and change your decision at any time. Rejecting analytics after previously accepting will stop future analytics cookies from being set; existing ones expire on their own or can be cleared from your browser's settings.
