Essential vs Analytics Cookies
Essential cookies are required for the cookie consent banner to remember your choice. These are set regardless of whether you accept or reject optional cookies. Rejecting cookies through our banner prevents analytics cookies from being loaded.
Analytics cookies are optional. They help us understand which equipment guides and service pages visitors read most, so we can prioritize content updates. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual visitors.
Managing Cookies
You can manage cookies through:
- Our consent banner: Click “Reject” to decline analytics cookies. Your choice is stored in localStorage under the key
portalhemlockway_cookie_consent. - Browser settings: Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Consult your browser’s help documentation for instructions.
- Clearing storage: Deleting site data for portalhemlockway.click will reset your consent preference and show the banner again on your next visit.
Third-Party Cookies
If you accept analytics cookies, Google Analytics may set cookies as described above. Google’s privacy policy governs their handling of this data. We do not use any other third-party cookies.
Impact of Disabling Cookies
Disabling essential cookies means the consent banner will appear on every visit. Disabling analytics cookies has no effect on site functionality — all pages, forms, and content remain fully accessible.
