Cookie Policy
What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help remember preferences and understand how visitors use pages.
Cookies we use
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
| uwl-cookie-consent (localStorage) | Stores your cookie banner choice (accept/reject) | Until cleared | Utility Haven Line |
| _ga | Analytics—distinguishes users (only if accepted) | 2 years | Google Analytics |
| _gid | Analytics—distinguishes users (only if accepted) | 24 hours | Google Analytics |
Essential preference storage uses localStorage, not a traditional cookie, but serves the same consent function.
Essential vs. analytics
Essential: Required to remember whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies. Rejecting analytics does not block site use.
Analytics: Optional. Loaded only if you click Accept on the cookie banner. Helps us see which journal articles and service pages households read most.
Managing cookies
- Use the cookie banner Accept or Reject buttons on first visit
- Clear site data in your browser settings to reset preferences
- Browser help menus describe how to block all cookies—note this may affect preference memory on other sites
Third-party cookies
If analytics is accepted, Google may set cookies per their policies. We do not control third-party cookie behavior. See Google’s privacy documentation.
Impact of disabling
Rejecting or disabling cookies does not prevent you from reading our site or submitting the contact form. You may need to respond to the banner again if you clear storage.
