Cookies policy
What cookies we use, why, and how you can accept or reject optional ones.

What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences and, when allowed, understand aggregate visit patterns.
How we use cookies
Essential cookies make the site usable (for example, remembering your cookie choice). Analytics cookies help us understand which pages are read; they run only if you accept them in the banner. Rejecting analytics does not block browsing, forms, or reading our field notes.
Cookies table
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| hch_cookie_consent | Stores your accept or reject choice for cookies | 1 year | Handler Canvas Hub (localStorage key mirrored for preference) |
| _hch_session | Maintains basic session integrity for form submissions | Session | Handler Canvas Hub |
| _hch_analytics | Optional aggregate page-view counts when accepted | 6 months | Handler Canvas Hub |
Managing cookies
Use Accept or Reject on our banner when it appears. You can clear site data in your browser to reset the choice. Browser settings also let you block cookies entirely; essential features such as remembering consent may then reappear on each visit.
Third-party cookies
Embedded fonts from Google Fonts may initiate network requests when pages load. We do not load third-party advertising cookies. If we add a new analytics provider later, this page will be updated before those cookies are activated.
Impact of disabling
Disabling optional analytics cookies does not remove access to engagements information, contact forms, or legal pages. Disabling all cookies may cause the consent banner to reappear frequently.
