Privacy and cookies
I use a small amount of tracking to understand which pages help people, and I don’t sell your data to anyone. If you’d rather not be tracked, there’s a one-click way out below.
Last updated 10 August 2026. Nick Burns trades as The Discover Group International Limited, New Zealand.
What I collect, and why
Pages you visit
HubSpot analytics records which pages you look at and where you arrived from. Until you give me your email this is anonymous - a random ID in a cookie, nothing that names you.
Your details
The Growth Scorecard, the fit call booking and the Revenue Clinic checkout ask for a name and email. That goes into HubSpot so I can send you what you asked for and follow up properly.
Payments
Stripe handles all card details. I never see or store your card number.
The bit most sites don’t mention
Once you give me your email, HubSpot connects it to the anonymous browsing history from that same browser. So I may be able to see which pages you read before you got in touch. I mention it because most sites do this and almost none say so.
The cookies this site sets
Four, and you can see what each one is for.
| Cookie | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| hubspotutk | The anonymous visitor ID described above. | Six months |
| __hstc, __hssc, __hssrc | HubSpot session and source tracking, so I can tell a LinkedIn visit from a Google one. | Session to 6 months |
| Stripe | Fraud prevention. Only on the checkout pages. | Checkout only |
| Calendly | Set only when the booking widget loads. | Booking only |
No advertising cookies. No Google Analytics. No Facebook pixel. Nothing is shared with advertisers, because I don’t run ads.
How to opt out
Turn on Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control in your browser and HubSpot will stop tracking you here. Blocking third-party scripts, or using private browsing, does the same thing.
Nothing on the site breaks if you do. The scorecard and the checkout still work.
Your rights
You can ask me what I hold about you, ask me to correct it, or ask me to delete it. Email nick@nickburns.nz and I’ll action it within 20 working days.
No charge, and you don’t need to give a reason. If you’re in the UK or EU, the same applies under UK GDPR and GDPR.
Who else sees your data
Only the tools that make this work: HubSpot for CRM and analytics, Stripe for payments, Resend for email delivery, Calendly for bookings and Netlify for hosting. Each stores data on their own infrastructure, some of it outside New Zealand.
I don’t sell, rent or trade your details, and I don’t add you to anything you didn’t ask for.
Changes
If this changes in a way that matters, I’ll update the date at the top. Questions about any of it, just email me - nick@nickburns.nz.
