This Cookie Policy explains how Shadow Mountain V, LLC uses cookies on the public website. Read it with our Privacy Policy. Change your choice anytime from Your privacy choices or Cookie settings in the footer.
1. What we mean by cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies include pixels and tags used by an analytics script. In this policy, “cookies” includes those technologies.
2. Cookies we use
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | When set |
|---|---|---|---|---|
sm_consent | Shadow Mountain (first party) | Stores whether you accepted or rejected analytics | 6 months | When you save a cookie choice |
_ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes visitors for usage measurement | Up to 13 months | Only if you accept analytics |
_ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Persists session state for the measurement ID | Up to 13 months | Only if you accept analytics |
We do not set advertising cookies. We do not use Google Signals or advertising personalization on this Site. The Google Analytics script is not loaded until you accept analytics. The Site also loads Inter from Google Fonts on every page. That is a font request to Google, not a cookie we set, and it is not gated on the analytics toggle.
3. Categories
3.1 Strictly necessary
sm_consent is necessary to remember your choice so we do not ask on every page. It does not require consent where the law allows essential cookies without it.
3.2 Analytics
Google Analytics 4, operated by Google LLC, measures pages viewed, device type, and approximate region so we can see what on the Site is used. It runs only after you accept. We configure it without ads features. Demo-form fields are not sent to Google.
3.3 What we do not use
We do not currently use marketing, advertising, or social-media tracking cookies. If that changes, we will update this policy and ask again.
4. Your choices
- Accept, reject, or customize analytics in the banner or Cookie settings.
- Browser settings can block or delete cookies. Blocking
sm_consentmeans we may ask again. - Rejecting analytics means we do not load Google Analytics for that browser.
5. Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy. The effective date at the top will change when we do. If we add a new optional cookie category, we will ask for a new choice.
