This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar storage technologies (localStorage, sessionStorage, HTTP cookies) that helionglobal.net (the "Site") may set in your browser. Read this together with our Privacy Policy.
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store. Cookies remember things across page loads — for example, that you are logged in, or your language preference.
The Site also uses two related technologies: localStorage and sessionStorage. These are separate from cookies but serve a similar purpose; we treat them as cookies for the purpose of this policy.
The Site is a B2B marketing and product-catalogue site. We use the minimum number of cookies needed to make it work. We do not run third-party advertising or remarketing pixels.
| Name / key | Set by | What it does | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
sb-*-auth-token |
Supabase (our database provider) | Keeps an administrator signed in to the back-office. Only set if you have logged in as an administrator. | Session + refresh, typically up to 1 hour; idle timeout 30 minutes. |
__cf_bm, cf_clearance |
Cloudflare (our hosting / CDN) | Bot detection and rate-limit clearance. Helps stop abusive automated traffic from reaching the Site. | Up to 30 minutes (bot-management) / up to 1 year (clearance). |
cf_chl_* (Turnstile) |
Cloudflare Turnstile, if enabled on the inquiry form | Verifies a request is from a real browser without showing a CAPTCHA. Set only when the inquiry form challenge is triggered. | Session. |
fw_products, fw_categories, fw_settings (localStorage) |
The Site itself | Local cache of the catalogue so the page renders without waiting for the network. | Until you clear browser storage. |
If Cloudflare Web Analytics is enabled on the Site, it operates without cookies: it counts pageviews using a small JavaScript beacon and does NOT identify individual visitors. We use this only to see roughly how many people visit which pages.
If we ever add a different analytics provider (we have not at the time of this draft), this page will be updated and you will see a cookie banner asking for your consent before that provider's cookies are set.
We do not use marketing cookies. We do not run ad-retargeting pixels, social-media tracking pixels, or affiliate-tracking cookies.
You can block or delete cookies through your browser's settings:
Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will degrade the Site:
Because the cookies above are either strictly necessary or set by cookieless analytics, we do not currently display a cookie consent banner.
If we add cookies that require consent under applicable law (e.g. an analytics or marketing provider that uses identifying cookies), we will:
TODO: lawyer to confirm whether this "no-banner-now" posture is sound under DPDP Act 2023 and ePrivacy where the audience includes EU/UK visitors. The standard is "strict necessity OR consent"; we believe the cookies listed are strictly necessary, but the characterisation needs review.
If we change which cookies we use, we will update this page and update the "Last updated" date at the top.
