Cookie policy

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

Utility Laurel Path uses a minimal set of cookies. Essential storage for cookie consent is always active. Analytics cookies load only if you click Accept on the banner.

3. Cookie table

Name	Purpose	Duration	Provider
ulp_cookie_consent	Stores whether you accepted or rejected optional analytics cookies	1 year	Utility Laurel Path (localStorage)
_ga	Distinguishes visitors for aggregated traffic statistics (only if accepted)	2 years	Google Analytics
_ga_*	Maintains session state for analytics (only if accepted)	2 years	Google Analytics

4. Essential vs analytics

Essential: the consent preference key above. It does not track browsing behavior across other sites.

Analytics: optional scripts that help us see which workshop pages are read most often. Rejecting analytics does not affect site functionality.

5. Managing cookies

Use the Accept or Reject buttons on the site banner when it appears. You can clear stored preferences by removing site data in your browser settings; the banner will show again on your next visit.

Most browsers let you block all cookies or delete existing ones through settings. Consult your browser help documentation for steps specific to your device.

6. Third-party cookies

If analytics are enabled, Google may set cookies according to its own policies. We do not control third-party cookie behavior. See Google's privacy documentation for details on their retention and opt-out tools.

7. Impact of disabling cookies

Disabling essential consent storage means the cookie banner reappears each visit. Disabling analytics simply stops optional usage measurement; workshop information and contact forms continue to work.
