How we use cookies and similar technologies on this website.
Last updated: 26 September 2026
This cookie policy explains how My Green Monster uses cookies and similar technologies on this website, what they are used for and the choices available to you.
It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
Who we are
This website is operated by Louis Finch, a sole trader trading as My Green Monster.

References to “we”, “us” and “our” in this policy mean My Green Monster.
What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small pieces of information stored on or accessed from your device when you use a website.
Websites can also use other technologies, such as scripts, tags, local storage and embedded content, which can store or access information on a device in a similar way.
These technologies can be used for purposes including:
- making a website work;
- maintaining security;
- remembering choices;
- understanding how a website is used; and
- providing functionality supplied by third-party services.
In this policy, we use “cookies” as a convenient term for cookies and similar storage or access technologies unless a distinction is important.
The categories we use
Strictly necessary and security technologies
Some technologies are required for the website to operate securely or to provide a feature you have requested.
These may be used for purposes such as:
- protecting the website from abuse or malicious traffic;
- processing contact-form security checks;
- maintaining technical functionality;
- remembering privacy choices; and
- providing services that cannot function without the relevant storage or access.
Where a technology is strictly necessary for a service you have requested, it may be used without asking for consent.
We use local browser storage to remember your analytics preference, when it was made and the version of our consent settings. This preference is kept for up to six months so we do not need to ask you on every visit.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors use the website and help us improve it.
Analytics may help us understand:
- which pages are visited;
- how visitors move through the website;
- how visitors arrived at the website;
- broad device and browser information;
- approximate geographic information; and
- website interactions and events.
We have chosen to treat Google Analytics as an optional technology on this website.
Google Analytics will therefore only be allowed to use analytics storage where you have accepted analytics cookies through our cookie controls.
If you reject analytics cookies, we will not use GA4 analytics cookies to create a persistent identifier for your browser.
Embedded booking functionality
We use Calendly to provide the booking interface on our Book a call page.
Calendly is a third-party service embedded within our website.
When the booking interface is loaded, Calendly may use cookies or similar technologies for purposes including:
- providing the scheduling service;
- maintaining security;
- remembering preferences;
- understanding interactions with its service; and
- other optional purposes according to the choices available through its cookie controls.
Calendly may provide its own cookie settings within the embedded booking experience.
We will configure the booking experience and our wider cookie controls so that optional technologies are not deliberately enabled without the appropriate choice being available to the visitor.
Cookies currently used for analytics
Where analytics consent has been provided, Google Analytics 4 may set the following first-party cookies:
_ga
- Provider:
- Google Analytics
- Purpose:
- Used to distinguish users through a pseudonymous identifier so that website usage can be measured.
- Default duration:
- 2 years, subject to browser restrictions and the website's Analytics configuration.
- Category:
- Analytics
_ga_<identifier>
- Provider:
- Google Analytics
- Purpose:
- Used to maintain and persist session information for a Google Analytics 4 property.
- Default duration:
- 2 years, subject to browser restrictions and the website's Analytics configuration.
- Category:
- Analytics
The exact suffix used after _ga_ depends on the Google Analytics property configured for the website.
We do not use these cookies to identify visitors by name.
Cloudflare and website security
We use Cloudflare for website infrastructure, security and related services.
Cloudflare technologies may process technical information or use storage where necessary to protect the website, verify requests or prevent abusive traffic.
Our contact form may also use Cloudflare Turnstile to distinguish genuine visitors from automated or malicious submissions.
The exact security technologies used can depend on the Cloudflare features enabled on the deployed website.
We will not describe a Cloudflare cookie as being used unless that technology is actually enabled.
Calendly cookies
Calendly manages cookies and similar technologies used within its scheduling service.
The exact cookies used can vary according to:
- the Calendly functionality being used;
- whether you are already a Calendly user;
- your location;
- your privacy choices; and
- changes made by Calendly to its service.
Calendly provides its own privacy and cookie information within the booking service.
You can use those controls where they are displayed to manage optional Calendly cookies.
Cookie preferences
Where consent is required, optional technologies will not be enabled until you make the relevant choice.
Our cookie controls will allow you to:
- accept optional analytics cookies;
- reject optional analytics cookies; and
- change your choice later.
Rejecting optional analytics cookies will not prevent you from using the main content of the website.
Where a third-party embedded service has its own privacy controls, those controls may also apply when you use that service.
Your analytics preference is remembered for up to six months. After that period, or if we materially change our consent setup, we will ask you to choose again.
Changing your choice
You can change or withdraw your consent to optional cookies at any time using Cookie settings in the website footer.
Withdrawing analytics consent will stop future Google Analytics collection on this website.
When you withdraw analytics consent through our Cookie settings, we will also attempt to remove first-party Google Analytics cookies that this website can access.
You can also delete cookies through your browser settings.
Browser controls
Most browsers allow you to:
- view stored cookies;
- delete individual or all cookies;
- block cookies;
- limit third-party cookies; or
- configure how websites are allowed to use storage.
Blocking all cookies may affect some website functionality.
Browser controls are separate from the privacy choices offered by this website.
Google Search Console
We use Google Search Console to understand how our website performs in Google Search.
Google Search Console provides website owners with aggregated search-performance information such as queries, impressions and clicks.
We do not place a Google Search Console cookie on your device merely because you visit this website, so Search Console is not controlled through our analytics cookie preference.
Third-party services
Some features on this website are provided by third-party services.
The providers currently relevant to this policy include:
- Google, for Google Analytics;
- Calendly, for meeting scheduling; and
- Cloudflare, for website infrastructure and security.
These providers may process information according to their own privacy and cookie documentation in addition to any processing they carry out on our behalf.
More information about how personal information is handled is available in our Privacy Policy.
Changes to the technologies we use
The services and technologies used by the website may change over time.
We will update this policy where a change materially affects the information visitors should know about cookies or similar technologies.
We will also review the cookies actually present on the deployed website before launch and after significant changes to our website or third-party services.
