Cookie Policy

What This Policy Covers

This Cookie Policy describes the limited use of cookies and browser localStorage on the Filemark Review platform (harvestlanejournal.org). We are transparent about what technologies we use and what purpose they serve.

Cookies We Use

This platform uses no advertising cookies, no third-party analytics tracking pixels, and no behavioural profiling cookies.

Functional Storage

We use browser localStorage (not cookies) to store a single preference value:

• Key: hlj_cookie_choice
• Purpose: Remembers whether you have accepted or rejected the cookie consent banner.
• Value stored: Either "accepted" or "rejected" — no personal information.
• Duration: Persists until you clear your browser's local storage.
• Shared with third parties: No.

Server-Level Logs

Our hosting environment may produce standard server access logs. These logs may include your IP address, browser type, and pages visited. They are retained for a limited period for infrastructure and security purposes only, and are not used for advertising or analytical profiling.

No Third-Party Tracking

We do not embed Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any other third-party tracking script. No visitor behaviour is shared with advertising networks.

Managing Your Preferences

You can change your cookie consent preference at any time by clearing your browser's localStorage for this domain. Most modern browsers allow you to do this through their developer tools or privacy settings.

You may also click "Reject" on the cookie banner the next time it appears (which will occur after you clear your localStorage).
