1. Purpose of This Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Acadia Bloomery (“we,” “us,” or “our”) utilizes cookies, local storage keys, and related web identifiers on acadiabloomery.com. We operate under strict digital transparency standards and adhere to the privacy expectations of Quebec Law 25 and Canadian federal PIPEDA standards.
2. What Are Cookies and Browser Tokens?
Cookies and session tokens are compact alphanumeric text fragments stored in your client web browser memory when you visit web pages. They permit web servers to maintain seamless session states, store user display preferences, and ensure secure communication without repeatedly requesting technical renegotiation.

4. Google Consent Mode v2 Architecture
Our website implements Google Consent Mode v2.

No marketing or behavioral trackers fire until you affirmatively grant permission through our consent banner.

5. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser
In addition to our on-site consent controls, you can configure your browser software (such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Microsoft Edge, or Brave) to refuse all cookies, notify you before a cookie is stored, or purge previously stored data upon exiting the browser. Consult the help documentation within your respective browser software for specific instructions.
Note that disabling essential session tokens (ctx_wkl and theme_pref_rg0) may impair page routing or reset your visual display preferences.
