Cookie & Tracking Notice
Last updated: October 2026
Short version: no advertising cookies and no analytics trackers — only what's needed to keep the client portal working.
What cookies are
Cookies and similar browser storage are small pieces of data a site saves on your device so it can remember things between pages.
Essential technologies we use
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portal sign-in session | Browser storage | Keeps a signed-in client or admin logged in to the portal | Until sign-out / inactivity |
| Tab session guard | Session storage | Signs portal users out when the tab closes | Current tab |
| Remember my email (hga.portal.remember) | Browser storage | Pre-fills only the portal email address when you opt in; passwords are never stored | Until you untick it |
| Portal sidebar | Cookie | Remembers if the portal sidebar is collapsed | 7 days |
| Article banner dismissed | Session storage | Hides the article call-to-action after you close it | Current tab |
Analytics
We do not currently use analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity or Hotjar on this website. Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs for security.
Marketing technologies
We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels (such as Meta Pixel or LinkedIn Insight Tag).
Third-party embedded content
Our videos are hosted on our own site. If we add an embedded scheduling tool in future, that provider may set its own cookies, and we will update this notice. Links to social networks take you to sites with their own policies.
Preferences
Because we only use essential storage, we do not show a cookie consent banner. If we add optional analytics or marketing tools, we will ask for your choice first where required.
How to control cookies
You can clear or block cookies and site data in your browser settings. Blocking essential storage will stop the client portal sign-in from working. Questions: info@hgafirm.com.
