Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 20 January 2025

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your browser on subsequent visits and remember certain preferences or interactions. Cookies do not personally identify you on their own — they typically store a small identifier or setting value.

How We Use Cookies

The Copperleaf website uses cookies for the following purposes: to ensure basic site functionality works as intended, to understand how visitors navigate the site, and to remember your cookie consent preference. We do not use cookies to serve advertising or to track you across other websites.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential cookies are always active. They are necessary for the site to function — for example, storing your cookie consent decision in your browser's local storage so we do not ask you again on every visit. These cannot be disabled without breaking core site behaviour.

Analytics cookies help us understand how the site is being used — which pages are visited, how long people spend reading, and whether they find what they came for. We use this information in aggregate form to improve the site. If you opt out, we will not set these cookies on your device.

Marketing cookies would allow us to understand which advertising channels bring visitors to the site. We currently make limited use of these, but the option is present. You can opt out below.

Preference cookies remember small interface settings — for example, whether you have dismissed a notice or expanded a section. Disabling them may mean some interface choices are not remembered between sessions.

Third-Party Cookies

If analytics are enabled, we use Google Analytics, which sets its own cookies (such as _ga and _gid) to collect anonymised usage data. Google's privacy policy applies to their cookies. We do not share your personal details with Google in this process. Social media platforms and advertising networks do not set cookies on our site unless marketing cookies are enabled.

Cookie Duration

Your consent preferences are stored in localStorage — they persist until you clear your browser storage or change them on this page
Google Analytics cookies typically expire after 2 years (_ga) or 24 hours (_gid)
Session cookies expire when you close your browser
