Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the site. Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (stored on your device for a set period).
In addition to traditional cookies, we may use similar technologies such as web beacons, pixel tags, and browser local storage. This policy covers all such technologies collectively.

We use browser local storage (not traditional cookies) to store certain preferences and session data. Local storage data is not transmitted to our servers with each request. You can clear local storage through your browser's developer tools or settings. Items stored in local storage include: your cookie consent preference (key: "cc"), recently viewed products, and draft messages.
Some cookies are placed by third-party services we use. These include:
We do not control third-party cookies. Please review each provider's privacy policy for details on how they use data.
When you first visit BarnwellHub, a cookie consent banner appears at the bottom of the page. You can accept all cookies or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Preferences" in the footer.
Most browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking all cookies will break the Platform (you will not be able to log in or complete purchases). Instructions for common browsers:
On mobile devices, you can manage cookies through your browser app settings and, for apps, through your device's privacy settings (iOS: Settings > Privacy; Android: Settings > Privacy).
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Currently, there is no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT. BarnwellHub does not alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals, but we honor your choices made through our consent tool.
We may update this Cookie Policy as we add new features or change our use of tracking technologies. We will notify you of material changes through the Platform or by email. The date at the top of this page reflects the most recent update.
