Cookie Policy

Last updated:

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Brighton Hearing Review (operated by Wellness Media Ltd) uses on https://earthregenclean.world/, why we use them, and how you can control your preferences.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and remember information such as your preferences. Cookies cannot run programmes or deliver viruses to your computer.

Similar technologies - such as local storage, session storage and pixel tags - may also be used and are covered by this policy.

2. Google Consent Mode v2

We implement Google Consent Mode v2. This means:

  • On your first visit, ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization and analytics_storage are set to denied by default.
  • Google tags operate in a cookieless, modelled mode until you grant consent.
  • If you click "Accept All", all consent signals are updated to granted.
  • If you click "Reject Non-Essential" or save custom preferences, only granted categories are activated.
  • functionality_storage and security_storage remain granted at all times as they are essential to site operation.

Your consent choice is stored in localStorage under the key cookieConsent and honoured on all subsequent visits for up to 13 months, after which you will be asked again.
