What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Local storage is a similar browser mechanism. Both help sites remember preferences and understand usage patterns.
How We Use Cookies
We use a minimal set of cookies and local storage entries. Essential storage remembers your cookie consent choice. Optional analytics cookies, only loaded if you accept, help us see which equipment guides are read most often.
Cookies Table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| sitehemlockway-cookie-consent (localStorage) | Stores Accept or Reject choice for cookie banner | Persistent until cleared | Sitehemlockway |
| _ga | Distinguishes users for analytics | 2 years | Google Analytics (if accepted) |
| ga* | Persists session state for analytics | 2 years | Google Analytics (if accepted) |
Essential vs Analytics
Essential: The consent preference key is required to avoid showing the banner on every visit. It does not track behaviour across other sites.
Analytics: Only activated when you click Accept on the cookie banner. Rejecting analytics does not block any site feature.
Managing Cookies
You can delete cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Instructions vary by browser — search for “clear site data” in your browser’s help section. Disabling essential consent storage will cause the cookie banner to reappear on your next visit.
Third-Party Cookies
If analytics are enabled, Google may set third-party cookies subject to Google’s privacy policy. We do not use advertising or retargeting cookies.
Impact of Disabling
Rejecting analytics cookies has no functional impact on reading content or submitting the contact form. Clearing essential consent storage only resets your banner preference.
