Cookie policy

Halo Hive uses as little browser storage as it can, and runs analytics and advertising measurement only with your consent. This page lists exactly what is stored, why, and how to change your choice.

Essential - always on

These are strictly necessary for the site to work, so they do not need consent and cannot be switched off.

• Sign in: a secure, HTTP-only session cookie that keeps you signed in and cannot be read by scripts. It is removed when you sign out.
• Security: a token that protects forms and requests from cross-site request forgery.
• Payments: when you pay, Stripe sets its own cookies to detect and prevent card fraud. This happens only on a payment step.

Analytics and advertising - only with your permission

If you allow it, Halo Hive measures which pages and steps people use, and whether a visit followed one of its Google ads, so it can improve the site and its advertising. It is off until you accept.

• Google Analytics, Google Ads and Halo Hive's own funnel events record which pages and steps people use, and whether a visit followed a Google ad. With your consent, some data is shared with Google, which provides these tools.
• No account link: a random identifier and Google's own first-party cookies are used to measure visits and conversions, but neither is tied to your name or account.
• Your control: Accept turns it on; Essential only, or closing the banner, means nothing is loaded, stored or sent.

Your saved choice

Your choice is remembered in your browser's local storage so the banner does not ask on every visit. It stays on your device and is never sent to a server or tied to an account.

Changing your mind

Use the Cookie preferences link in the footer of any page to reopen the choices and change them at any time. Clearing your browser's data for this site also resets everything.

Third parties

Analytics and advertising measurement are provided by Google - Google Analytics and Google Ads - which load only after you accept and then receive some usage and conversion data. Payments use Stripe, which sets its own cookies only on a payment step to prevent card fraud. There is no other advertising network or social pixel.
