Cookie policy
Effective 20 October 2026 · HH-LEGAL-20261021-R5
1. What this website uses
Cookies and browser storage can remember information on your device. HeartwingHollow.com uses essential storage for privacy choices and the contact form. Optional storage can remember your display preferences, but is off until you accept it.
No advertising cookies, analytics tags, social-media pixels or third-party embedded media players are included. Music, pictures and video are served directly by this website.
2. Storage details
| Name and type | Purpose | Duration and choice |
|---|---|---|
hh_cookie_choice_v1Local storage | Remembers accept/reject choice, policy version and time, so that your privacy choice can be applied. | 180 days; essential privacy-choice record. |
HHCONTACTSecure, HttpOnly, SameSite=Lax session cookie | Connects the contact form to a server-side session for anti-forgery protection and submission feedback. It is created only when the contact page is used. | Browser session. Server-side form data expires after 30 minutes of inactivity, subject to hosting cleanup. |
hh_display_preferences_v1Local storage | Remembers the chosen daylight/twilight/night view. The animation pause control applies during the current visit. | Up to 180 days, only after optional preferences are accepted. Deleted when they are rejected or consent is withdrawn. |
Sound is never started automatically by a stored preference. Standard browser caching may retain media and other resources to display pages efficiently; it is not used for cross-site tracking. This release does not register a service worker.
3. Your choices
The panel offers Accept preferences, Reject optional and Settings. Both acceptance and rejection allow you to browse. Necessary contact security cannot be switched off independently if you want to use the form; email us instead if you prefer not to use it.
You can reopen at any time from the footer. Withdrawing preference permission removes saved preferences and prevents further optional storage. Your existing in-page display remains until you change it or leave the page.
If browser storage is blocked, the site still works with its default settings and may show the privacy panel again. Browser controls can remove cookies and local storage; blocking the contact session cookie may prevent the form from submitting safely.
4. External sites and future changes
The Gina application and other linked websites have their own storage and privacy notices. Clicking a link does not grant those websites consent through this panel. Any future optional analytics or advertising feature would need a separate assessment and an appropriate choice before it is enabled; accepting display preferences does not authorise it.
