Cookie Policy

Last updated: 2025

This Cookie Policy explains how Trinket Harbor ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies, such as browser localStorage, when you visit trinketharbor.com. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.

What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Local storage is a similar browser-based technology that allows a website to store small pieces of information directly in your browser so it can be retrieved later. Unlike some cookies, data saved in local storage does not automatically expire and is not sent to our servers with every request — it simply stays in your browser until it is cleared.

How Trinket Harbor Uses These Technologies

We aim to keep our use of cookies and local storage as minimal and transparent as possible. Here is exactly what we use and why:

1. Cookie Consent Preference (Local Storage)

When you first visit Trinket Harbor, a consent banner appears asking whether you accept or decline non-essential cookies, such as those used for analytics. Once you make a choice, we save your response (either "accepted" or "declined") in your browser's local storage.

• This preference is used solely to remember your decision so the banner does not reappear on every page load.
• No personal information is collected as part of this process — only a simple preference flag is stored locally on your device.
• This data stays in your browser and is not transmitted to any third party.

2. Analytics Cookies (Only If You Accept)

If you click "Accept" on our cookie banner, we enable analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use our site — for example, which jewelry and accessory reviews are most popular, how long readers spend on a page, and which pages might need improvement.

• Analytics cookies are only activated after you give consent; they are never set beforehand.
• These cookies collect aggregated, non-identifying information such as page views, session duration, referring pages, device type, and general geographic region.
• We use this data to improve our reviews, site navigation, and overall user experience.
• If you decline or take no action, analytics cookies will not be loaded, and your browsing on Trinket Harbor will not be tracked for analytics purposes.

3. Third-Party Analytics Providers

Our analytics functionality is provided by third-party services (such as standard web analytics platforms). When enabled, these providers may place their own cookies on your device to collect the usage data described above.

• These third-party cookies are governed by the respective privacy and cookie policies of the analytics providers, in addition to this policy.
• We only permit these cookies to load after you have given consent through our banner.
• We do not sell or share any analytics data with advertisers, data brokers, or unrelated third parties.

What We Do Not Use

• We do not use cookies for behavioral advertising or retargeting.
• We do not use tracking pixels from social media or ad networks.
• We do not sell visitor data to any third party.

How to Withdraw or Change Your Consent

Because your cookie preference is stored in your browser's local storage rather than through a centralized account system, the simplest way to withdraw or change your consent is to clear your browser's stored data for trinketharbor.com. You can do this at any time by:

• Opening your browser settings and locating the "Privacy," "Site Settings," or "Clear Browsing Data" section.
• Selecting cookies and site data (and, where available, local storage) specifically for trinketharbor.com.
• Clearing this data and reloading our site — the consent banner will reappear, allowing you to make a new choice.

Alternatively, most modern browsers allow you to clear local storage and cookies for a single site directly from the address bar's site information panel, without needing to clear data for all websites you visit.

Browser-Level Controls

In addition to our on-site consent banner, you can manage cookies through your browser's own settings. Most browsers let you block all cookies, block third-party cookies only, or receive a notification before a cookie is set. Please note that if you block cookies and local storage entirely, our consent banner may reappear on every visit since we will be unable to remember your prior choice.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the technologies we use or for legal and regulatory reasons. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
