Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how HarborLighting uses browser storage on this website. At present, the site uses the browser's localStorage feature to remember whether a visitor has dismissed or accepted the cookie notice displayed near the bottom of the page. This helps prevent the same notice from appearing repeatedly during subsequent visits using the same browser, provided the stored preference remains available. The notice preference is a functional convenience and is separate from advertising, visitor profiling, or analytics. This website does not currently enable analytics through this notice.
Storage list
The current storage behavior is limited to remembering the visitor's response to the cookie notice. The website does not require visitors to create an account to read its lighting guides, product information, or other informational pages. The storage item described below supports the notice interface rather than providing a user account, maintaining a shopping profile, or recording a history of lighting products viewed.
- gateward cookie notice: this existing technical storage key records that the visitor accepted or dismissed the notice, allowing the website's script to recognize that choice when the visitor returns. The key name is retained for compatibility with the current website implementation. Its presence does not mean that the website operates under the former brand name.
Browser controls and storage removal
Visitors can inspect, remove, or clear locally stored website data through the privacy or site-data controls available in their browser. The exact steps vary by browser, device, and version. Removing the relevant localStorage entry, clearing site data, using certain private-browsing settings, or switching to another browser or device may cause the cookie notice to appear again because the previous preference is no longer available. Clearing browser storage may also remove other preferences or website data managed by the browser, so review the selected options before confirming a broad cleanup. Removing this preference does not itself submit a request to HarborLighting or contact our team.
Cookies and local browser storage
Browser cookies and localStorage are different mechanisms. Cookies may be sent to a website with applicable requests depending on their settings, while localStorage keeps data in the browser for use by website scripts and is not automatically attached to each HTTP request. This policy describes the localStorage behavior currently used for the notice; it should not be interpreted as a claim that every browser feature or every third-party technology is present or absent in all circumstances. Browser extensions, security software, and browser privacy settings may also affect how a website operates.
Analytics and future changes
HarborLighting does not currently enable analytics through the cookie notice described on this page. If optional analytics, advertising technologies, embedded third-party services, or additional storage mechanisms are introduced in the future, this policy should be reviewed and updated to explain what technologies are used, what information they may process, why they are needed, and how visitors can manage any available choices. Any required consent or opt-out mechanism should be implemented before the relevant optional technology is activated, where applicable. Visitors should refer to the latest published version of this policy for the website's stated storage practices.
Managing your preferences
The notice includes an acceptance control that allows the current website script to remember your response in localStorage. This control is not an account registration, product order, or general marketing subscription. If you prefer not to retain the preference, you can clear the relevant site data in your browser, although the notice may then be displayed again. Browser settings that restrict local storage may also prevent the preference from being remembered between visits.
