Cookie Policy
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences and understand how pages are used.
How We Use Cookies
We use a minimal cookie approach. Non-essential cookies are loaded only if you accept them via our consent banner.
Cookies Table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| content-birchfield-cookie-consent (localStorage) | Stores your cookie banner choice (accept/reject) | Persistent until cleared | Content Birchfield |
| _ga | Analytics — distinguishes users | 2 years | Google Analytics (only if accepted) |
| _gid | Analytics — distinguishes users | 24 hours | Google Analytics (only if accepted) |
Essential storage for consent preference uses localStorage rather than a traditional cookie but serves the same purpose of remembering your choice.
Essential vs Analytics
Essential: Consent preference storage. Required to honour your banner choice.
Analytics: Optional usage statistics to understand page traffic. Disabled if you reject cookies.
Managing Cookies
You may reject non-essential cookies via our banner without losing site functionality. You can also clear cookies through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy
Third-Party Cookies
If analytics are enabled after consent, Google Analytics may set third-party cookies subject to Google’s policies. We do not use advertising cookies.
Impact of Disabling
Rejecting analytics cookies does not affect form submission, navigation, or reading site content. Disabling essential consent storage will show the banner again on your next visit.
