Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how HempPlastics.com (operated by Talent Group) uses cookies and similar technologies on hempplastics.com (the “Site”). It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your actions and preferences, recognize repeat visits, and measure traffic. We also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags.
2. Categories of cookies we use
- Strictly necessary — required to operate the Site, including session security and load balancing. Cannot be disabled.
- Functional — remember your cookie preferences and UI choices. Set only with your consent in the EU/UK.
- Analytics — help us understand which content is useful (e.g., Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity). Set only with consent in the EU/UK; opt-out available everywhere via the banner below.
- Marketing — used by third parties to measure ad performance and audiences. Off by default; set only after consent.
3. Manage your preferences
You can update your choices at any time:
You can also clear cookies in your browser settings or use a Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal. Our consent management platform is configured to treat a GPC signal as an opt-out of sale and sharing where applicable.
4. Google Consent Mode v2
We implement Google Consent Mode v2. Until you grant consent, analytics and advertising tags receive a “denied” signal and Google’s tools operate in a cookieless modeling state. When you accept, the relevant signals are updated to “granted” and tags begin storing cookies.
5. Third-party cookies
Some tools we use may set their own cookies, including (subject to your consent): Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity, Stripe (for checkout fraud prevention), Cloudflare (security and performance), and our consent platform Termly. Each of these providers maintains its own privacy policy.
6. Retention
Most cookies expire automatically within 30 days to 24 months, depending on their purpose. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Your consent preference is stored for up to 12 months before we ask again.
7. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy as we add or remove tools. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
