Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help sites remember preferences and understand usage patterns.

How we use cookies

Ridgeway Analytics uses a minimal set: one essential local storage entry for your consent choice, and optional analytics cookies only if you accept them via our banner. Rejecting analytics cookies does not block site functionality.

Cookie table

Name	Purpose	Duration	Provider
ridgeway-analytics-consent (localStorage)	Stores your Accept or Reject choice for optional cookies	Until cleared in browser settings	Ridgeway Analytics
_ga	Distinguishes visitors for aggregate traffic statistics (optional)	2 years	Google Analytics (only if accepted)
_gid	Distinguishes visitors for daily statistics (optional)	24 hours	Google Analytics (only if accepted)

Essential vs analytics

Essential: the consent storage entry is necessary to remember your banner choice without asking every visit.

Analytics: optional cookies help us see which sample report pages are viewed most. They are not loaded unless you click Accept.

Managing cookies

Use the Accept or Reject buttons on our cookie banner when it appears. You may also clear localStorage and cookies through your browser settings:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Clear browsing data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data

Clearing storage will show the banner again on your next visit.

Third-party cookies

Google Analytics, if enabled, may set third-party cookies subject to Google's policies. We do not use advertising or social media tracking pixels.

Impact of disabling

Disabling or rejecting optional cookies does not affect navigation, contact form submission, or reading site content. You may see the consent banner again if you clear essential storage.
