COOKIE POLICY

Last Updated: 1 September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Dexter & Kestrel Consulting LLP uses cookies and similar technologies on its website, how those technologies support website operation and security, and how visitors can manage applicable choices.

1. PURPOSE

This Cookie Policy explains how Dexter & Kestrel Consulting LLP uses cookies and similar technologies on its website, how those technologies support website operation and security, and how visitors can manage applicable choices.

2. WHAT ARE COOKIES?

Cookies are small text files or similar identifiers placed on or read from a device when a website is accessed. They can be used for essential functionality, security, remembering preferences and, where enabled, analytics or advertising.

3. TECHNOLOGIES CURRENTLY USED BY THE WEBSITE

Essential/session cookies

Provider: Website / hosting infrastructure

Purpose: Website operation, security and technical functionality.

Category: Strictly necessary

Consent position: Normally not subject to optional-cookie consent; subject to applicable law.

Cookie preference mechanism

Provider: D&K custom JavaScript

Purpose: Remember and manage the visitor's cookie choices/settings.

Category: Strictly necessary

Consent position: Necessary to administer preferences.

Google reCAPTCHA v2

Provider: Google

Purpose: Protect forms and website functions against spam, bots, abuse and malicious activity.

Category: Security / anti-abuse

Consent position: The website should configure the consent mechanism in accordance with the legal treatment applicable to the technology and the website's implementation.

The above list reflects the technology information provided to D&K for the website. D&K does not currently use Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Meta Pixel, YouTube/Vimeo embeds, a CRM, newsletter platform, booking platform, chatbot/live chat or other known third-party tracking scripts.

4. GOOGLE reCAPTCHA V2

The website uses Google reCAPTCHA v2 as a security and anti-abuse measure. reCAPTCHA may process technical and interaction information needed to distinguish legitimate users from automated or abusive traffic and to protect website forms. D&K uses reCAPTCHA for security, fraud and abuse prevention rather than for personalised advertising.

Because the exact technical behaviour of reCAPTCHA can depend on Google's implementation and the website configuration, this Policy does not state a fixed cookie name or retention period unless verified from the live implementation.

5. COOKIE CONSENT AND SETTINGS

The website uses a custom JavaScript-based cookie preference mechanism rather than a third-party consent-management platform. The mechanism is intended to provide visitors with an appropriate choice where consent is required and to remember the selected preference.

The website should provide a visible 'Cookie Settings' or equivalent mechanism that allows a visitor to review or change applicable choices. Where processing is based on consent, withdrawal should be as easy as giving consent.

6. BROWSER CONTROLS

You can also control or restrict cookies through browser settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect website functionality. Browser controls do not necessarily provide the same granular choices as the website's cookie-settings mechanism.

7. CHANGES TO THIS COOKIE POLICY

We may update this Cookie Policy if the website technology, cookies, security services or applicable legal requirements change. The revised version will be published with a new 'Last Updated' date.

8. CONTACT

For questions about cookies or privacy, contact info@dexterandkestrel.com.

9. REFERENCE

This Policy has been prepared with reference to the DPDP Act, 2023, the DPDP Rules, 2025, and the current website technology information supplied by D&K. The live website shall be periodically scanned so that this Policy remains factually accurate.
