Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2 May 2026
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which cookies menford.com uses, and how you can manage your preferences. It complements our Privacy Policy.
1. What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your device by a website you visit. Cookies let a site remember your actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies (local storage, pixels) are covered by this policy as well.
2. How We Obtain Consent
We use Consently (consently.net) as our consent management platform. When you first visit the Site, a banner asks you to accept, reject, or configure non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time through the "Cookie Preferences" link in the Site footer.
Non-essential cookies (analytics, marketing) are only set after you grant consent. Your choice is recorded together with a timestamp so we can demonstrate compliance.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
Strictly necessary (always active):
- Consently consent cookie β stores your consent preferences. Set by Consently. Duration: up to 12 months.
Analytics (only after consent):
- _ga β distinguishes users. Set by Google Analytics. Duration: 24 months.
- _ga_H1T05CCYSL β session state for Google Analytics 4. Duration: 24 months.
Google Tag Manager (GTM, container GTM-5Q6SCZJ9) is used to deploy and manage analytics scripts on this Site. GTM itself does not set persistent cookies.
We do not currently use marketing or advertising cookies. If that changes, this page will be updated and the consent banner will ask for new consent.
4. Managing Cookies
You can:
- Change or withdraw consent through the "Cookie Preferences" link in the Site footer.
- Block or delete cookies in your browser settings β Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge all expose cookie controls under their privacy preferences.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break core functionality of the Site, such as remembering your consent choice.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Analytics cookies are set by Google via Google Analytics 4. See Google's privacy policy for details on how Google processes the data: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
6. Changes
We review this policy whenever we add, remove, or change cookies used on the Site. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
