What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences, keep essential features working, or — with consent — understand how pages are used.
How we use cookies
Harbor Line Financial Consultants uses essential cookies required for basic site operation (including remembering your cookie preference) and optional analytics cookies that help us see which pages are visited. Analytics cookies are set only if you choose Accept on the consent banner.
Types of cookies
- Essential — required for security, load balancing where applicable, and storing your consent choice. These do not require consent under UK rules when strictly necessary.
- Analytics — optional measures of page views and referrers. Used only with consent.

Managing or disabling cookies
Use Accept or Reject on our banner when it appears. Rejecting optional cookies does not block browsing, forms, or consultation pages. You can also clear site data in your browser settings, which removes stored preferences and may show the banner again.
Third-party cookies
Embedded fonts may be requested from Google Fonts. Image hosts such as Unsplash may receive technical requests when photographs load. These third parties may set their own cookies according to their policies. We do not control those cookies.
Impact of disabling
Disabling essential storage may prevent us from remembering your consent choice, so the banner may reappear. Disabling analytics only means we will not collect optional usage measures; the site remains usable.
