TEMPLATE: complete the [brackets] and confirm the cookie table against what the site actually sets once analytics and the form provider are chosen. Review together with the Privacy Policy before launch.
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device to remember things between visits: your preferences, whether you've been here before, and (where analytics run) how the site is used. Similar technologies such as local storage work the same way, and this policy covers those too.
This site is built to be light on cookies. In its current form it sets no advertising or tracking cookies at all. The categories that apply or may apply are:
| category | purpose | examples | consent needed? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Making the site work: security, form submission, remembering a cookie choice. | [form provider cookie, if any] | No |
| Analytics | Understanding how the site is used so it can be improved: pages visited, time on page, approximate location. | [e.g. Google Analytics _ga, or a cookieless tool such as Plausible which sets none] | Yes, via the banner |
| Advertising | Not used on this site. | None | Not applicable |
If a cookieless analytics tool is used, no analytics cookies are set and no consent banner is required for analytics. If cookie-based analytics are added, a consent banner will ask before any analytics cookie is placed, and nothing non-essential is set until you agree.
Some features load from third parties that may set their own cookies subject to their own policies: [list what applies: Google Fonts, the contact form provider, embedded social content]. We link to their policies here: [links].
You can accept or decline non-essential cookies via the banner (where shown), change your choice at any time via [cookie settings link], and control or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site working, such as the contact form.
How we use any personal data collected through the site is covered in our Privacy Policy. Questions about this policy: hello@halahsocial.com.
