Cookies
Cookie use on toolkitvalleycore.click — essential cookies, optional analytics, durations, and how to manage your choice.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help pages remember preferences and, when you allow them, help us understand how Field Notes articles are read.
How we use cookies
We use essential cookies required for basic site operation (including remembering your cookie choice) and, only with your consent, analytics cookies to understand aggregate readership. Rejecting analytics does not block access to pages, forms, or content.
Your choice is stored in localStorage under the key valleycore_toolkit_cookie_consent.
Cookies table
| Name / key | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
valleycore_toolkit_cookie_consent | Stores Accept or Reject for the cookie banner | Until cleared by you | ValleyCore Toolkit (first-party localStorage) |
| Session host cookie (if set by hosting) | Maintains secure delivery of static pages | Session | Hosting provider |
_vc_analytics (only if accepted) | Aggregate page-view counts for Field Notes | 6 months | ValleyCore Toolkit (first-party) |
Managing or disabling cookies
Use the Accept or Reject buttons on our banner when it appears. You can clear site data in your browser settings to reset the choice and see the banner again. You may also block cookies entirely in your browser; essential storage for consent preference may then be unavailable, and the banner may reappear.
Third-party cookies
We do not load third-party advertising cookies. Embedded fonts may be requested from Google Fonts; that request can expose your IP to Google under their terms. Prefer local system fonts if you wish to avoid that request (browser extensions can assist).
Impact of disabling
Disabling analytics cookies has no effect on requesting a brief or reading engagements. Blocking all storage may cause the cookie banner to show on every visit.
