Cookie Policy
Information about cookies used on utilitybirchway.click.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences and understand how pages are used.
Cookies we use
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| utilitybirchway-cookie-consent | Stores your cookie banner choice (accept or reject) | 12 months | Utility Birch Way |
| _ga | Distinguishes users for analytics (only if you accept cookies) | 2 years | Google Analytics |
| ga* | Maintains session state for analytics (only if you accept cookies) | 2 years | Google Analytics |
Essential cookies are set when you interact with the cookie banner regardless of choice, because we must remember whether you accepted or rejected optional analytics.
Managing cookies
You can clear or block cookies through your browser settings. Rejecting cookies via our banner prevents optional analytics cookies from loading; essential consent storage still applies so the banner does not reappear every visit.

Third-party cookies
If you accept analytics, Google may set cookies described in Google’s privacy documentation. We do not use advertising or social-media tracking cookies.
Impact of disabling cookies
Disabling all cookies may cause the consent banner to appear on each visit. Site content and contact forms remain fully functional.
