Cookie and browser storage policy
Forthwise keeps browser storage deliberately limited and gives you a direct way to review your choices.
Last updated 8 August 2026What this site stores
The site currently uses essential storage to remember the display theme and whether you have accepted or rejected optional technologies. Essential storage is needed for the preference controls to work and cannot be switched off through the banner.
Optional analytics
Google Analytics 4 is delivered through Google Tag Manager only after you accept optional analytics. It helps Forthwise understand aggregate visits, page use and enquiry interactions. Analytics and advertising storage are denied by default, and no advertising tags are configured. Read more about how Google uses information from partner sites.

| Name | Purpose | Type | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|

Change your choice
Use the control at any time. You can also remove stored website data using your browser settings. Removing it means the site will ask for your preference again.
Third-party content
The Forthwise company overview opens in the site's own video player and does not require an embedded YouTube or Vimeo player. External links, including LinkedIn, IdentityPixel and Ostina, are governed by those organisations once you leave this website.
