Cookie Policy
This policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used on this website. A cookie is a small text file stored on a browser or device. Similar technologies can include local storage, tags and pixels.
1. Cookie categories
| Category | Purpose | Consent | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Remember privacy choices, support security and enable basic site functions. | Not normally required where strictly necessary. | Session to 12 months |
| Analytics | Measure visits, interactions and technical performance to improve the site. | Used only after consent where required. | Session to 24 months |
| Marketing | Measure campaign effectiveness, attribute requests and support relevant advertising. | Used only after consent where required. | Session to 24 months |
2. Local preference storage used by this template
The website stores a preference record named houge_hk_cookie_preferences_v1 in the browser’s local storage. It records whether optional analytics and marketing categories were accepted and when the choice was saved. This is used to avoid repeatedly displaying the consent banner.
3. Third-party technologies
If analytics, advertising, call-tracking, form-processing or campaign-measurement tools are connected later, those providers may place their own cookies or receive technical identifiers after valid consent. The live implementation should list the exact provider, purpose and lifetime before launch. No generic legal page can replace an accurate inventory of technologies actually installed.
4. Managing preferences
You can use the “Cookie settings” control on the article page to accept or reject optional categories. You can also delete cookies or local storage through your browser. Blocking essential storage may affect core functions.
5. Browser controls
Browsers commonly allow users to view, block and delete site data. The wording and location of these controls varies by browser and device. Private or incognito browsing may remove some storage automatically when the session ends.
6. Consent records
Where optional cookies are used on the basis of consent, a record of the choice may be stored to demonstrate compliance and to respect future visits. You can change or withdraw consent as easily as you gave it.
