Cookie Policy
Last updated: August 1, 2025
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember preferences and improve functionality. We also use browser localStorage for similar purposes on this site.
2. How we use cookies and localStorage
Utility Branch Way uses a minimal approach to cookies. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. The primary purpose is to remember your cookie consent choice so the banner does not appear on every visit.
3. Cookies and storage we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ubw-cookie-consent | Essential (localStorage) | Stores your cookie consent choice (accepted or rejected) | Until cleared by user | Utility Branch Way |
4. Essential vs. analytics cookies
Essential: The consent preference stored in localStorage is essential for remembering your choice about cookie usage. It does not track browsing behavior.
Analytics: We do not currently use analytics cookies or third-party tracking on this website. If we add analytics in the future, we will update this policy and request consent before activating them.
5. Third-party cookies
We load fonts from Google Fonts, which may set cookies or collect connection data according to Google's policies. We do not control third-party cookies from font providers. See Google's Privacy Policy for details.
Images on this site are loaded from Unsplash CDN; Unsplash may log requests according to their privacy practices.
6. How to manage cookies
You can accept or reject non-essential cookies using the banner on your first visit. Rejecting cookies does not block site functionality.
To clear stored preferences:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data → select "Cookies and other site data"
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data → Clear Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data → Remove
Clearing localStorage for utilitybranchway.click will cause the cookie banner to reappear on your next visit.
7. Impact of disabling cookies
Disabling or clearing cookies and localStorage will not prevent you from using this website. The only effect is that the cookie consent banner will appear again until you make a new choice.
