Cookie & Storage Policy

Effective Date and Governance

This Cookie and Storage Policy took effect on 2026-11-08 and governs all local browser storage keys, session tokens, and conversion measurement cookies deployed on northfieldly.com. It operates in conjunction with our master Privacy Notice.

Storage Categories and Functional Scopes

Northfieldly deploys local storage mechanisms divided into three discrete functional classifications:

• Strictly Necessary Storage: Local tokens that preserve user interface continuity, such as the support chat session token allowing visitors to continue active dialogues with Ivan Petrov, and the site_consent_v2 choice record. These do not track personal identities across third-party websites.
• Analytical Telemetry: Aggregated measurement keys evaluating technical page load speeds, resource transfer timings, and responsive viewport metrics to diagnose layout stability across mobile and desktop devices.
• Advertising & Conversion Attribution: Tags receiving advertising network click identifiers to verify genuine acquisition campaigns and record project inquiry completions without constructing personal profiling dossiers.

Comprehensive Cookie & Storage Key Specification

The following registry documents every persistent cookie, session token, and local storage item utilized on northfieldly.com:

Advertising Platform Integration & Click Identifiers

Northfieldly receives visitors referred by active commercial campaigns on major ad networks. When an ad is clicked, destination URLs carry platform-specific identifiers:

• Google Ads: Supplies the gclid parameter on inbound traffic. When storage is permitted, this parameter is stored locally to associate inquiry submissions with campaign performance.
• Microsoft Advertising: Attaches the msclkid click identifier for Bing ad attribution.
• Meta Ads: Supplies the fbclid parameter to identify referrals originating from Meta platforms.

These identifiers contain alphanumeric tracking tokens generated by the respective platforms. They are processed strictly for business attribution and fraud detection, never to compile personal consumer dossiers or sensitive category profiles.

Consent Mode v2 Signal Architecture

Our website operates Consent Mode v2 to ensure privacy choices directly govern third-party script behavior. By default, before any interaction with our consent bar occurs, the following four tracking parameters are initialized in a denied state:

• ad_storage: "denied"
• ad_user_data: "denied"
• ad_personalization: "denied"
• analytics_storage: "denied"

While held in the denied state, ad platform tags operate in cookieless ping mode: no advertising cookies are read or written to the visitor’s device, and conversion data is modeled in aggregate without individual tracking.

Giving, Modifying, and Revoking Consent

When you first visit northfieldly.com, a compact consent banner appears along the bottom margin. Selecting “Allow” records an explicit grant under site_consent_v2 and updates the Consent Mode v2 parameters to granted. Selecting “Decline” records an explicit refusal and preserves the denied state.

You can change or revoke your preference at any moment. Simply click the “Cookie Settings” button located in the footer of any page. This reopens the preference dialog, allowing you to switch states instantly.

Consequences of Declining Storage

Declining optional cookies and storage keys carries zero negative impact on your browsing experience. All core website functionalities remain fully operational:

• The 3–5 page showcase layouts, portfolio case studies, and pricing models remain fully readable.
• The scope diagnostic tool continues to calculate project budgets and timelines accurately in local memory.
• The inquiry submission form at lahe26c.php functions completely, allowing you to request project quotes.
• The support chat widget remains available for direct messaging with Ivan Petrov.

Only persistent advertising conversion cookies (such as _gcl_au, _uetvid, and _fbp) are blocked from being set on your computer.

Third-Party Platform Policies

Third-party ad networks handle data according to their independent privacy standards. For detailed explanations of how these companies protect user privacy and process click identifiers, consult their official disclosures:

• Google LLC: Review Google’s advertising technologies and policy framework at policies.google.com.
• Microsoft Corporation: Review Microsoft Advertising policies and personal data commitments at privacy.microsoft.com.
• Meta Platforms, Inc.: Review Meta’s data practices at Meta Privacy Policy.
