Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Northflow uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website. Cookies are small text files that get stored on your device—your computer, phone, or tablet—when you browse a website. They help the site remember things about your visit.
We use cookies for several reasons. Some are necessary to make the website work properly. Others help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it. This policy describes the types of cookies we use, what they do, and how you can control them.
Types of cookies we use
Necessary/Essential cookies
These cookies are required for our website to function. Without them, basic features like page navigation and secure areas wouldn't work at all. They don't collect any information about you that could be used for marketing purposes. Essential cookies are always active because the site simply cannot operate without them.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember choices you make to give you a better experience. For example, they might store your preferred language or remember that you've already seen a particular notification. These cookies make your browsing more convenient, but the site will still work if you disable them—you'll just need to re-enter preferences each time.
Analytics cookies
We may use analytics cookies to collect anonymous information about how visitors interact with our website. This data helps us understand which pages are popular, how people navigate through the site, and where we might need to make improvements. The information gathered is aggregated. It doesn't identify you personally.
Marketing/Advertising cookies
These cookies track your browsing activity to help show you relevant advertisements. We only set marketing cookies if you give us your consent. You can decline them entirely without affecting your ability to use our website. If you do allow them, they may be used by advertising partners to build a profile of your interests.
Specific cookies we use
Here are the main cookies you might encounter on our website:
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | |-------------|---------|----------| | session_id | Maintains your session while browsing. Technical necessity. | Expires when you close your browser | | consent_v1 | Stores your cookie consent preferences so we don't ask you repeatedly. | 12 months | | lang_pref | Remembers your language selection if you change it. | 6 months | | _analytics | Collects anonymous usage statistics. Set only with your consent. | 12 months |
This list covers the primary cookies we control directly. The actual cookies you see may vary slightly depending on which features of the site you use.
Third-party cookies
Some pages on our website may include content from third-party services. Maps, embedded videos, or external booking tools might set their own cookies when you interact with them. We don't control these third-party cookies.
Each third-party service has its own privacy and cookie policies. If you're concerned about specific third-party cookies, we recommend reviewing their policies directly. We try to limit third-party integrations to those necessary for providing useful features.
Managing cookies
You have control over cookies. Most web browsers let you manage cookies through their settings. You can typically:
- See what cookies are stored on your device
- Delete some or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific websites
- Block all cookies entirely
- Set preferences for first-party versus third-party cookies
Keep in mind that blocking necessary cookies may prevent parts of our website from working correctly. You might not be able to access certain features, or the site may behave unexpectedly.
To manage cookies, look in your browser's settings or preferences menu. The exact steps vary by browser. Here are the general locations:
- **Chrome**: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
- **Firefox**: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- **Safari**: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- **Edge**: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
You can also use your browser's private or incognito mode, which typically doesn't save cookies after you close the window.
Your consent
When you first visit our website, we ask whether you accept non-essential cookies. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential ones, or adjust your preferences. Essential cookies don't require consent because they're necessary for basic functionality.
Changed your mind? You can adjust your cookie settings anytime through your browser. Clearing your cookies will also reset any preferences you've saved, and you'll see the consent prompt again on your next visit.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be noted clearly. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
