Cookie Policy - Systems House

Last updated: 2026-09-23 · Version 1.2

1. The rules we are working to

Regulation 6 of PECR says that storing information on your device, or reading information already stored there, requires consent unless it is strictly necessary to provide a service you asked for.

Consent has to meet the UK GDPR standard: a clear, affirmative action, freely given, and as easy to withdraw as it was to give.

2. What we set

Strictly necessary - no consent needed

Name	Type	Purpose	Duration
`sh_consent`	Cookie	Remembers your cookie choices so we do not ask again	90 days
`sh_csrf`	Cookie	Protects forms against cross-site request forgery	Session

Analytics - optional

Name	Provider	Purpose	Duration
`_ga`	Google	Distinguishes users for Google Analytics 4	2 years
`_ga_<container>`	Google	Persists the GA4 session state	2 years

These are only set if you turn analytics cookies on in the banner or in cookie settings. If you leave them off, no Google Analytics script is loaded.

3. Changing your mind

Select Cookie settings in the footer of any page. Turning analytics off deletes the analytics cookies and stops the Google script from loading again.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site working.
