Cookie Policy

This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on the Halcyon website, why we use them and how you can manage your preferences.

Last updated: 24 April 2025

This Cookie Policy applies to the website at halcyona.live operated by Halcyon. When you visit our website, we may store small data files called cookies in your browser. This policy explains what those cookies do and gives you the information you need to manage them.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They serve a range of functions: some are needed for the site to work correctly, while others help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. Cookies can also be used to remember preferences you have set during a visit.

This site also uses browser localStorage — a similar mechanism built into modern browsers — to store your cookie preferences. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not transmitted to our server with each request; it stays in your browser.

2. How We Store Your Preferences

When you interact with the cookie preference panel on this site, your choices are saved in your browser's localStorage under the following keys:

essential

Essential cookies

Always on

These are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are set in response to actions you take — such as setting your privacy preferences or using the contact form. You can configure your browser to block these cookies, but doing so may mean parts of the site will not work as intended. No personally identifiable information is stored by essential cookies.

analytics

Analytics cookies

Optional

These cookies allow us to count visits and understand how visitors move through the site — which pages are visited most, where visitors come from and where they leave. This information is used in aggregate to improve the site. If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited and will be unable to monitor site performance. No information collected by analytics cookies is used to identify you personally or for marketing purposes.

marketing

Marketing cookies

Optional

Marketing cookies may be set through our site by advertising or content partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other sites. If you do not allow these cookies, you will see less targeted content. These cookies do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and device. Currently, this site makes limited use of marketing cookies. If this changes, this policy will be updated.

preferences

Preference cookies

Optional

These cookies allow the site to remember choices you have made — such as display preferences or prior interaction settings — so you do not need to set them again on a subsequent visit. If you do not allow these cookies, some of these functions may not be available.

3. Preference Storage Keys

The following localStorage keys are used by this site to record and manage your cookie preferences:

Key	Purpose
essential	Records whether essential cookies are active (always true).
analytics	Records your choice to allow or decline analytics cookies.
marketing	Records your choice to allow or decline marketing cookies.
preferences	Records your choice to allow or decline preference cookies.
timestamp	Records when your preferences were last set, so the preference panel is not shown again unnecessarily.
version	Records the version of the cookie policy in effect when you set your preferences, so the panel is shown again if the policy changes materially.

These localStorage entries do not contain any personally identifiable information. They exist solely to record your preference choices and avoid presenting the cookie preference panel on every visit.

4. Third-Party Cookies

This site uses Google Fonts for typography, which may result in a request to Google's servers when the page loads. Google may set cookies in connection with this request. We do not control these cookies. You can review Google's cookie and privacy practices at policies.google.com/privacy.

This site also loads Font Awesome icons from Cloudflare's CDN, which may log requests. Cloudflare's privacy policy is available at cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.

Where analytics or marketing tools are enabled and in use, those tools may set their own cookies. Any such tools in use will be identified here as they are adopted.

5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can update your cookie preferences at any time by clearing the relevant localStorage entries in your browser. In most browsers, you can do this through the browser's developer tools, the privacy or storage settings, or by clearing your site data. Clearing localStorage will cause the cookie preference panel to appear again on your next visit, allowing you to set new preferences.

You can also configure your browser to block or delete cookies at a browser level. The process varies by browser:

Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data

Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of this and other websites you visit.

6. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" setting that signals websites you visit that you prefer not to be tracked. There is currently no agreed standard for how websites should respond to this signal. Our site does not alter its behaviour in response to Do Not Track signals, but we will review this as standards develop.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or applicable requirements. When we do, the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will change. If we make material changes that affect how we use data, we will update the version key stored in your browser's localStorage so that the preference panel is displayed again, giving you the opportunity to review your choices.
