Bonding Beacon uses local browser storage for theme and cookie choices. Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity remain off unless a visitor accepts optional analytics.

Current cookie use
Bonding Beacon stores your theme choice and cookie-consent choice in your browser. These preferences help the site remember whether you selected System, Light, or Dark theme and whether optional analytics may load. They are not used for advertising.
Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity are configured, but neither service loads until you accept analytics. Google Analytics measures visits, pages, referral information, device and browser details, and engagement. Its first-party _ga cookies distinguish visitors and sessions and may remain for up to two years. Microsoft Clarity measures interactions such as clicks, scrolling, page layout, performance, and session playback; privacy-sensitive fields are masked. Clarity may use cookies including _clck and _clsk after consent.
Bonding Beacon does not grant advertising storage or advertising personalization. You can review the providers' documentation in the Google Analytics cookie guide and Microsoft Clarity cookie guide.
Hosting and necessary delivery
The site's hosting provider may process technical request information or use measures that are necessary to deliver, secure, and operate the site. These practices are governed by the provider's configuration, terms, and privacy practices.
Your choices
Accept and Decline are both available in the consent panel. You can reopen Cookie settings from the footer and change your choice. A Global Privacy Control signal is treated as a decline for optional analytics. Declining does not prevent access to the site.
Outside links
Articles link to research, support organizations, and other websites. An outside service may use cookies or similar technology after you follow a link. Its own cookie and privacy policies apply once you visit that service.
Changes and choices
If another optional service is added, this policy and the consent controls must identify its purpose before it is used. You can also clear local storage and cookies through your browser settings. See the privacy choices section for requests involving personal information.
