Cookie Policy

Effective date: July 21, 2026 Last updated: July 21, 2026

Template note (delete before publishing): This is a current-standard template. The cookie table in Section 3 must be verified against what your site actually loads. The easiest way is to run a free scan (for example, a cookie-scanner or your consent-banner tool) and list the real cookies. Confirm whether you use Google Analytics, the Meta (Facebook) pixel, a booking/scheduling widget, and a cookie-consent banner, then update accordingly.

This Cookie Policy explains how Hearthstone Restoration (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on https://hearthstonerestoration.com (the “Site”). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work, remember your preferences, and understand how the site is used. “Similar technologies” include pixels, tags, and local storage that perform comparable functions.

Cookies may be first-party (set by us) or third-party (set by a service we use). They may be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (which remain until they expire or you delete them).

2. Types of cookies we use

Strictly necessary. Required for the Site to function, such as security and basic navigation. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
Performance and analytics. Help us understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it (for example, which pages are most visited).
Remember choices you make, such as a form or booking tool’s settings.
Advertising and targeting. [If used] help us measure and deliver relevant ads on other platforms, such as social media.

4. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties we use, such as analytics and (if used) advertising or social-media providers. These providers may collect information about your online activity over time and across sites. Their use of information is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.

5. Your choices

Consent banner. [If used] When you first visit the Site, you can accept or manage non-essential cookies through our cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time via [link/setting].
Browser controls. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.
Analytics opt-out. You can opt out of Google Analytics with Google’s browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Advertising opt-outs. You can manage interest-based advertising through the Digital Advertising Alliance (https://optout.aboutads.info) and the Network Advertising Initiative (https://optout.networkadvertising.org), and in your device or social-media ad settings.

6. Consent

Where required by law, we place non-essential cookies only after you consent. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent. You may withdraw consent at any time using the options in Section 5.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our practices or the law change. Updates take effect when posted with a new “Last updated” date.
