Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. This page explains which cookies Hreflang Guide uses, why they exist, and how you can control them. There are no advertising or tracking cookies on this site.

Cookies We Use

This site uses a minimal number of cookies. Here is a straightforward breakdown:

Necessary Cookies

The mgi_consent cookie is necessary for the cookie consent system to function. Without it, we could not remember your preferences and would have to ask you each time you visit. This cookie does not contain any personal information and is not used for tracking or analytics. It stores only a record of whether you have accepted or declined optional cookies.

Necessary cookies do not require your consent under most privacy frameworks, including those applicable in the United States. However, we believe in transparency, so we document them here.

Functional Cookies from Third-Party Services

This site loads fonts from Google Fonts and icon files from Font Awesome via CDN. These services may set short-lived session cookies as a side effect of serving those files. We do not control these cookies and do not receive data from them. They do not track you across sites and are not used for advertising purposes.

The Google Maps embed on the Contact page may also result in cookies being set by Google when the map is loaded. Those cookies are governed by Google's own cookie and privacy policies, which we recommend reviewing if you have concerns.

What We Do Not Use Cookies For

We do not use cookies to track your behavior across websites. We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or any cookies that build a profile of your interests or browsing habits. We do not share cookie data with third-party advertisers. This site has no analytics platform that sets cookies.

Your Rights Under US Law

Residents of California have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) regarding personal information. Cookie data that could identify you is considered personal information under CCPA. As described above, the cookies on this site do not identify you personally. The consent preference cookie stores only your preference choice, not your identity. You have the right to request information about data collected, request deletion, and opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information.

Other US states including Virginia (VCDPA), Colorado (CPA), Connecticut (CTDPA), and Texas (TDPSA) have enacted privacy laws with similar rights. We apply the same data minimization principles regardless of which state you are in.

Updates

If we add new cookies or change how existing ones work, we will update this page and revise the date at the top. Significant changes will be communicated through the cookie consent panel on the site.
