Cookie Policy
Last updated: 1 August 2025
1. What cookies are
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.
2. How we use cookies
Hazelway Analytics uses a minimal set of cookies on service-hazelway.click. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.
3. Cookie categories
Essential cookies
Required for basic site operation and remembering your cookie consent choice. These cannot be disabled through our banner without affecting preference storage.
Analytics cookies (optional)
Used only if you click Accept on our cookie banner. They help us understand which field notes and report pages visitors read most often.
4. Cookies table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| hazelway-analytics-cookie-consent | Stores your Accept or Reject choice for optional analytics cookies | 12 months | Hazelway Analytics (localStorage) |
| _ha_session | Anonymous session identifier for aggregated page view statistics | Session (expires when browser closes) | Hazelway Analytics |
| _ha_visit | Counts repeat visits to improve field note topic selection | 30 days | Hazelway Analytics |
5. Managing cookies
When you first visit, our banner offers Accept and Reject buttons with equal prominence. Rejecting optional analytics cookies does not block site functionality.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Clearing cookies will reset your consent choice and show the banner again on your next visit.
6. Third-party cookies
We load fonts from Google Fonts, which may log IP addresses under Google's privacy policy. We do not embed third-party advertising pixels. If we add embedded media in future field notes, this policy will be updated.
7. Impact of disabling cookies
Disabling essential preference storage means the cookie banner reappears each visit. Disabling analytics cookies prevents us from seeing aggregate readership patterns but does not affect enquiry forms or page access.
