Cookie policy
Last updated 4 November 2026
This website does not track you. We use no analytics, no advertising and no third-party scripts. It stores three small things in browsers, each only so the site can do something you or our staff asked for.
What are cookies and browser storage?
A cookie is a small text file a website saves in your browser and reads back on later visits. Browser storage (localStorage) does the same job but stays in your browser: it is not sent to our server with every request. This policy covers both, and we call them “storage” below.
What we store
| Name | Type | What it is for | How long it lasts | Who it is set for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| astraa_admin | Cookie (first-party, httpOnly) | Keeps ESG Astraa staff signed in to the site's admin area. | 14 days, or until they sign out | ESG Astraa staff only, never ordinary visitors |
| astraa-insights-unlocked | Browser storage (localStorage) | Remembers that you have unlocked our articles, white papers and case studies, so you are not asked again. | Until you clear your browser's site data | Visitors who enter a work email to read insights |
| astraa-insights-email | Browser storage (localStorage) | Remembers the work email you gave, so later downloads are recorded against it without asking again. | Until you clear your browser's site data | Visitors who enter a work email to read insights |
All three are strictly necessary for something you chose to do: sign in, or unlock our research with your email. None is used to follow you across other websites, to build a profile or to show you adverts, so we do not ask for separate consent to them.
What we do not use
- No analytics tools such as Google Analytics.
- No advertising, retargeting or social media pixels.
- No chat widgets, embedded videos or other third-party scripts that set their own cookies.
- Our fonts are served from our own site, so loading a page does not contact Google Fonts.
What happens to the email you give us
When you enter a work email to unlock our insights, or send us a question or a demo request, it is sent to us so our team can reply and follow up. Keeping it in your browser only saves you typing it again. Our privacy policy explains how we use it. If you would like us to delete it from our records, email support@esgastraa.com.
How to remove or block storage
You can delete everything this site has stored by clearing its site data in your browser settings (for example Chrome: Settings, Privacy and security, Third-party cookies, See all site data and permissions; Safari: Settings, Privacy, Manage Website Data). Private or incognito windows keep nothing after you close them. If you block storage, the site still works; you will simply be asked for your email again before reading our research.
Changes to this policy
If we add a tool that stores anything else, such as analytics, we will update this page first and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent before it runs. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
