Essential cookies

Required for the platform to function. Without these, you cannot log in or use the application. These cannot be disabled.

Functional cookies

Remember your preferences (county selection, default view) so the platform loads the way you left it. Disabling these means you'll need to re-select your county each session.

Analytics cookies

Help us understand how the platform is used, which features get the most traffic, where users encounter friction, and how we can improve. These are anonymized and never sold to third parties.

Managing your preferences

You can manage cookie preferences at any time:

  • Click "Cookie preferences" in the page footer
  • Use your browser's built-in cookie settings
  • Email james@bluebelmont.com to request preference changes

Third-party cookies

We use Stripe for payment processing. Stripe may set its own cookies during checkout. See Stripe's privacy policy for details.

Updates

We'll update this page if we add new cookies. Material changes are communicated via the cookie banner on your next visit.
