Cookie Policy

Effective date: September 8, 2026 · Last updated: September 8, 2026

This page lists the cookies and browser storage actually used on The Wellspring, what each one does, and how to change your preference. Wellspring does not use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or behavioral-advertising technology of any kind.

Necessary

NameProviderPurposeDurationParty
wellspring_consentThe Wellspring (localStorage, not a cookie)Remembers your cookie preference so you're not asked again every visit.Until cleared by you or your browserFirst-party

Optional — Analytics (only after you accept)

These are only set if you click "Accept Optional Cookies," or turn Analytics on in Cookie Settings. If you reject, haven't responded, or later withdraw consent, none of these are set or remain set.

_gid, _gatGoogle AnalyticsShort-lived usage/rate-limiting identifiers.Minutes to 24 hoursFirst-party

If you turn Analytics off after previously accepting, Google Analytics is disabled immediately (Google's own ga-disable flag is set) so no further data is sent for the rest of your visit, and it does not reload on refresh or navigation unless you re-enable it. We also attempt to delete the cookies listed above from your browser at that point.

Functional — Newsletter Sign-Up

MailerLite, our email service provider, only loads when you intentionally click "Open Newsletter Sign-Up" on the newsletter section — never automatically on page load, and never merely because you scrolled near it. Opening the form is treated as a functional action you chose to take, independent of your Analytics choice: rejecting analytics cookies does not prevent you from opening and using the newsletter form. Once opened, MailerLite may set its own cookies related to rendering and submitting the form; these are governed by MailerLite's own privacy and cookie practices.

Changing Your Choice

You can open Cookie Settings at any time using the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer of every page. From there you can turn Analytics on or off. Because of how browsers restrict script access to cookies, cookie removal on withdrawal may not reach every cookie in every browser; if you want to be certain, you can also clear cookies for this site from your browser's own settings.

No Advertising or Retargeting

This site does not use Meta Pixel, advertising cookies, or retargeting/behavioral-advertising technology of any kind.
