Cookie Policy
The cookies and browser storage Jack Foundry actually uses, what they do, and how to control them.

What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Local storage works in a similar way, keeping a small amount of information in the browser on your device. Both let a site remember something between page loads or visits.
What Jack Foundry uses
Jack Foundry uses a small number of essential cookies and storage keys. They keep you signed in, protect your account, remember your privacy choices, and keep the free public search available without an account.
We also use a small number of preference keys, which remember choices you have made so you do not have to set them again. These are stored in your browser.
Analytics, advertising and tracking
Jack Foundry does not currently run advertising cookies, cross site tracking or third party marketing technologies, and we do not sell information to advertisers.
No product analytics service is active at present. If we introduce analytics or any other optional technology, it will be listed in the register below, held off until you consent, and you will be asked again before it loads.
Your choices
Select Manage cookies at the bottom of this page to review or change your choices at any time. We honour recognised browser level privacy signals such as Global Privacy Control.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies and storage will stop parts of Jack Foundry working, including signing in and staying signed in.
The full register
The table below lists every cookie and storage key currently in use. Approved but inactive services are held in our internal configuration and are not loaded or disclosed here.
