Cookie policy
A cookie policy for a membership site, written so visitors can actually follow it. It explains what cookies are, sets out each type in a table (essential, preferences, analytics, payments and embedded media) with its purpose and how long it lasts, and shows visitors how to manage them in their browser. Check the table against the tools your site really uses, such as your analytics, payment provider and video host, add or remove rows to match, and have it reviewed by an adviser before you publish.
Cookie policy
Like most websites, Harborview Members Club uses cookies. This page explains which ones we use, why we use them and how you can control them.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. They let the site remember things between pages and visits, such as the fact that you are signed in. Some are set by us, and some are set by the services we use, such as our payment provider.
Only essential cookies are set before you make a choice. You can accept or decline the others when you first visit, and change your mind at any time with the cookie settings link at the bottom of every page.
The cookies we use
| Type | What it does | Set by | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | Keeps you signed in to the members area, protects forms from misuse, and remembers your cookie choices. The site cannot work without these. | Harborview Members Club | Until you close your browser, or up to 30 days if you choose to stay signed in |
| Preferences | Remembers settings such as your username on the sign-in page and how you like lists sorted. | Harborview Members Club | Up to 12 months |
| Analytics | Counts visits and shows which pages are popular, so we can improve the site. The information is grouped and does not identify you. | Our analytics service | Up to 13 months |
| Payments | Helps our payment provider process your payment securely and spot fraud when you join or renew. | Our payment provider | Up to 12 months |
| Embedded media | Lets videos and maps from other services play on our pages. These services may record that you watched. | Video and map providers | Varies by provider |
We do not use cookies to show you advertising, and we do not sell information collected through cookies.

This policy is a starting point, not legal advice. Check the table against the cookies your site actually sets, and ask an adviser to review it before you publish.
