Cookies
A cookie is a small piece of text a site asks your browser to keep, so that something can be remembered between one page and the next. This page lists everything Heartvale stores in your browser, and what is added only if you agree to analytics.
What the site stores now
| Name | Who sets it | What it is for | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| __dpl | Lovable, the platform hosting this site | Set by the hosting platform to keep a visit on one deployment of the site. It carries no information about you. | One day |
| session-id | Lovable, the platform hosting this site | Set by the hosting platform to tell one browsing session apart from another while a tab is open. We do not read it. | Ends when the tab closes |
| heartvale.consent.v1 | Heartvale | Remembers whether you accepted analytics. It is kept in local storage rather than in a cookie. | Twelve months |
If you accept
Accepting adds Google Analytics. It sets two cookies, both by Google and both lasting two years: _ga and _ga_ followed by the measurement id. They are used to count visits and to tell a returning visitor from a new one. If you decline, none of this is set and no analytics script is loaded at all.
Google explains what it does with this data on its own page, how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Changing your mind
Use the link in the footer of any page to bring the choice back and set it again. Your browser’s own settings can clear cookies and stored data as well.
