Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 2024
This Cookie Policy explains how mellowhelm Environmental Consulting ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device for a set period) or "session" (deleted when you close your browser).
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. They enable basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
- Cookie Consent: Stores your cookie preferences so we don't ask repeatedly. Duration: 1 year.
Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalisation. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages.
- Form Data: Temporarily stores form submission data during your session. Duration: Session only.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve our website and user experience.
- Site Analytics: Collects anonymous data about page views, traffic sources, and user navigation patterns. Duration: Up to 2 years.

The following table provides more information about the specific cookies we use:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| mellowhelm_cookie_consent | Stores your cookie consent preference | 1 year | Essential |

Third-Party Cookies
We may use third-party services that set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies and encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of any third-party services you encounter.
Your Cookie Choices
You have several options for managing cookies:
Through Our Website
When you first visit our website, you will see a cookie banner that allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser cookies and revisiting the site.
Through Your Browser
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- View what cookies are stored on your device and delete them individually
- Block third-party cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites
- Block all cookies
- Delete all cookies when you close your browser
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect your experience on our website and other sites. Some features may not work properly without cookies.
Browser-Specific Instructions
For information on how to manage cookies in your specific browser, please consult your browser's help documentation or visit the browser developer's website.
Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is no accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals, our website does not currently respond to them. However, you can manage your cookie preferences using the methods described above.
Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we may use local storage technology (such as HTML5 localStorage) to store preferences on your device. Local storage functions similarly to cookies but can store larger amounts of data. The data stored in local storage remains on your device until you clear it through your browser settings.
Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
