Cookie policy
Last updated: 26 August 2026
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.
