Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on marklundventures.com and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember your preferences, and measure how the site is used. We also use local storage (for example, to remember your accessibility and consent preferences), which works similarly.

Cookie Categories

1. Strictly Necessary

These are required for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They support security, form integrity, and core features.

• Consent preferences (local storage): remembers your cookie consent and accessibility settings. Persists until you clear browser data.
• Form protection: Cloudflare Turnstile creates short-lived verification tokens for contact and privacy request forms. Google reCAPTCHA protects the AI assistant. These security checks run when the relevant feature is used and do not depend on optional analytics consent.

2. Analytics

These help us understand how visitors interact with the site so we can improve it. Analytics cookies load only with your consent. We currently use Ahrefs Web Analytics to measure page views and referral sources. Its script runs only if you accept analytics, and stops if you later withdraw that consent.

3. Marketing / Targeting

These may be used to measure campaign effectiveness and deliver relevant content. Marketing cookies load only with your consent. At the time of this writing, no advertising pixel (such as Meta Pixel or Google Ads) is active on the site. If one is added, it will only run when you accept marketing cookies.

4. Functional

We use local storage to remember your accessibility widget preferences (such as font size, contrast, and reduced motion). These are device-local and do not track you across sites.

Third-Party Services That May Set Cookies

• Cloudflare Turnstile: bot protection for contact and privacy request forms. Pre-clearance cookies are not enabled for this integration.
• Google reCAPTCHA: bot protection for messages to the AI assistant.
• Google Fonts: font delivery; may log request metadata.
• Base44: hosting platform; may set session/security cookies.
• OpenStreetMap: map tiles on the service area map.
• Social networks: if you click through to Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn, those platforms set their own cookies governed by their own policies.

Managing Cookies

You can manage your consent at any time using the cookie consent banner (re-open it via the “Privacy Preferences” link in the footer) or through your browser settings. Most browsers let you refuse or delete cookies. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect website functionality.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies changes. The “Last updated” date reflects the most recent revision.
