Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work correctly, improve performance, and provide website owners with information about how visitors use the site.

Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).

2. Cookies We Use

The AnchorOne website is designed to use cookies sparingly and only where necessary. We currently use the following types of cookies on this website:

3. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the Website to function correctly. They do not require your consent and cannot be disabled through our cookie preferences interface.

The cookie_consent cookie we use is an essential operational cookie that records your consent preference. Without it, you would see the cookie notice on every page visit.

4. Preference Cookies

Preference cookies allow the Website to remember choices you make to improve your experience. We use one preference storage item:

• Theme preference: Stored in your browser's localStorage under the key theme, this records whether you prefer the light or dark display mode. It does not contain personal information and does not expire unless you clear your browser data.

This preference is set only when you actively toggle the display theme using the control in our navigation bar. If you have not used this control, no preference is stored and the site defaults to light display mode.

5. Analytics Cookies

We do not currently use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies on this Website. No cookies are placed to track your behaviour across websites, build advertising profiles, or share data with third-party advertising platforms.

If we introduce analytics or other optional cookies in the future, we will update this policy and obtain your consent before placing any such cookies on your device.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can manage your cookie preferences directly using the controls below or via your browser settings:

6.1 Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

• View cookies stored on your device
• Delete cookies individually or all cookies
• Block cookies from specific websites or all websites
• Set your browser to notify you when a cookie is being placed

Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our Website. Refer to your browser's help documentation for specific instructions.

6.3 Clearing LocalStorage

The theme preference described above is stored in your browser's localStorage rather than as a traditional cookie. You can clear localStorage through your browser's developer tools or privacy settings. The method varies by browser.

7. Withdrawing Consent

Where cookies require your consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of any processing carried out before withdrawal. You can withdraw consent by:

• Clicking "Cookie Preferences" in the footer and selecting "Reject Optional"
• Clearing cookies and localStorage data through your browser settings
• Contacting us directly at info@anchorone.co

As we currently use only one preference storage item (theme) and one essential consent cookie, withdrawal will not impact your ability to use this Website.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time, particularly if we introduce new technologies or change how we use cookies. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page whenever changes are made.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
