What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit, such as your language preferences, login state, or the choices you have made. Cookies are widely used to make websites function more efficiently and to provide information to website operators.
In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons (also called pixel tags), local storage, and session storage. This policy covers all such technologies collectively.
Cookies are set either by HarborMint directly ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services that appear on our pages ("third-party cookies"). Both types are described below.
Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality. These cookies do not collect personal information for marketing purposes and do not track you across other websites.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| hm_consent | Stores your cookie consent preferences | 1 year |
| hm_session | Maintains your session state while browsing | Session |
| hm_dark_mode | Remembers your display mode preference (light/dark) | 1 year |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Security token to prevent cross-site request forgery | Session |
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. This information is used to improve the website experience. Analytics data is collected in aggregated form and does not identify individual users.
We may use analytics tools that set their own cookies. If you decline analytics cookies, your visit will not be tracked for analytics purposes, though essential cookies will still function.
| Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Page analytics | Tracks pages visited and time on site (aggregated) | Up to 2 years |
| Traffic source | Records how visitors arrived at the site | Up to 6 months |
| Error logging | Records page errors to help fix technical issues | Session |
You can opt out of analytics cookies using the cookie consent tool on this website or by adjusting your browser settings.
Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enable enhanced features and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we use. Without these cookies, some features may not work as expected, but the core website will remain functional.
Examples of functional cookies on HarborMint include cookies that remember your language preference and cookies that enable embedded map functionality. These are optional and can be declined through the cookie consent tool.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You have several ways to control cookies on HarborMint:
Cookie Consent Tool: When you first visit HarborMint, a cookie consent notice appears in the bottom-left corner of the screen. You can accept all cookies, decline optional cookies, or customize your preferences by category. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking "Manage Cookies" in the footer or revisiting the consent tool.
Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through browser settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain cookies, or alert you when cookies are being sent. Note that disabling all cookies may affect the functionality of HarborMint and other websites you visit.
Browser-specific instructions for managing cookies:
- Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies
Opt-Out Tools: For analytics cookies provided by third parties, you may also use opt-out tools provided by those services directly.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal that you can enable to indicate your preference not to be tracked across websites. Currently, there is no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. HarborMint acknowledges DNT signals and applies them to optional cookie categories to the extent technically feasible. Essential cookies are not affected by DNT signals.
Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of HarborMint following any changes constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated policy.
