1. About this policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Hotelreviewharbor Media Inc. uses cookies and similar technologies on Hotelreviewharbor. The current website is designed as a lightweight, local static site without advertising networks, cross-site behavioural tracking, remote fonts, remote scripts, or third-party analytics.
This policy should be read with the Privacy Policy. The controller can be contacted at info@hotelreviewharbor.com or at 250 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario M5B 2L7, Canada.
2. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website may ask a browser to store on a device. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, software development kits, and identifiers used for security, preferences, or measurement. Some technologies persist after the browser closes, while session technologies are removed sooner.
3. Current use on Hotelreviewharbor
The present static version of Hotelreviewharbor does not intentionally set advertising, profiling, social-media, or third-party analytics cookies. The site’s navigation, legal-identity file, images, styles, scripts, and fonts are served locally from the same project. The contact form relies on the email application configured on your device rather than a remote form processor.
A hosting provider or security layer may still use strictly necessary technical identifiers or server logs to deliver pages, balance traffic, prevent abuse, diagnose failures, and protect the service. Those operations are limited to what is reasonably necessary for website delivery and security.
4. Categories that may be used
- Strictly necessary technologies: required for page delivery, security, network management, fraud prevention, accessibility, or a feature expressly requested by the user.
- Preference technologies: remember a choice such as language, display, or privacy preference when that feature is introduced.
- Analytics technologies: measure aggregated use and performance. These are not active in the current version and would require an updated notice and consent where applicable.
- Advertising or profiling technologies: build profiles or track visitors across services. These are not active on Hotelreviewharbor.
5. Legal basis and consent
Strictly necessary technologies may be used without optional consent where the law permits because the service cannot be provided securely or as requested without them. Non-essential technologies will not be activated before valid consent where consent is required. Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous, and declining optional technologies must not block ordinary access to public editorial content.
If optional technologies are introduced, a preference control will explain their purpose and allow consent to be given or refused by category. Withdrawing consent will be as easy as giving it.
6. Duration
Session technologies generally expire when the browser session ends. Persistent technologies remain until their stated expiry date or until deleted. If Hotelreviewharbor introduces a non-essential technology, this policy or an associated preference panel will identify its provider, purpose, and retention period. Necessary security records may be retained separately for a proportionate period under the Privacy Policy.
7. Managing browser settings
Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies and site data. Blocking all cookies may affect functionality on websites that depend on them, although the current Hotelreviewharbor pages are designed to work without optional cookies. Browser controls differ by provider and device; consult the help documentation supplied with your browser.
Deleting cookies does not necessarily delete server logs, emails, or other personal information retained for separate lawful purposes. Requests concerning personal information should be made under the Privacy Policy.
8. Global privacy signals and do-not-track
Where technically feasible and legally required, we will respect recognised browser-based privacy signals that communicate a valid preference. Because standards and legal requirements continue to develop, not every signal has the same legal effect in every jurisdiction. Hotelreviewharbor does not currently use cross-site behavioural advertising.
9. Third-party links
Editorial pages may link to a third-party property or public resource. A third-party site may set its own cookies after you leave Hotelreviewharbor. We do not control those technologies. Review the third party’s cookie and privacy information before making choices or providing personal information.
10. Changes to cookie use
Before introducing a material non-essential cookie or similar technology, we will assess its purpose, data collection, provider, duration, and legal basis. We will update this policy and implement consent controls where required. A material change will be reflected in the effective date and may be highlighted through a website notice.
11. Your choices and rights
You may refuse or withdraw consent for non-essential technologies, manage browser storage, and exercise applicable privacy rights concerning related personal information. Depending on the law, those rights may include access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, and a complaint to a competent privacy authority.
