Cookie Policy
Effective date: 2026-10-14
This Cookie Policy explains how Hope: Healthy Outcomes for Personal Enrichment uses cookies and similar technologies on www.hope-counselingcenter.org. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies and similar technologies (pixels, local storage, SDKs) are small data files or scripts that a site uses to function, remember your choices, and measure how the site is used.
Our consent approach
The website uses first-party resources for its core functions. Embedded Google Maps remain unloaded until you explicitly select Load Google Map. Loading a map is optional and is separate from advertising choices. You can use the address or directions link instead. Advertising conversion measurement loads only after advertising permission and an accepted website submission on the neutral confirmation page. You can set or change your advertising preference through Cookie preferences; a Global Privacy Control signal blocks optional advertising measurement and attribution storage.
Categories
- Strictly necessary — required for the site to load and for security. Always on.
- Analytics — helps us understand usage.
- Advertising — measures ad performance (an advertising pixel), and may involve "sharing" under some state laws. We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) as an opt-out of sale/sharing.
- Functional — conveniences such as web fonts or embedded tools.
Technologies in use on this Site
| Technology | Purpose and choice | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| First-party page resources and navigation state (`tsr-scroll-restoration-v1_3`) | Loads the website and restores scroll position. Fonts are hosted with the site. | Navigation state is limited to the browser tab session. |
| `automaus_consent_v1` | Remembers your privacy choices in local storage. | Until replaced or cleared in your browser. |
| Google Maps | Optional office map, loaded only when you select Load Google Map. This connects to Google Maps and its map, script and font services, including google.com, maps.googleapis.com, maps.gstatic.com, fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. Google may receive IP/device information and use cookies under Google's Privacy Policy. You can use the address or directions link instead. | Google's own settings and policies control its cookies. |
| `hope_ads_click_v1` and `hope_ads_attribution_v1` | Stores validated advertising click and campaign identifiers only after advertising permission, with GPC respected. No form contents or care-specific search text. | Browser tab session. |
| Google Ads conversion tag and `hope_inquiry_confirmation_v1` | Requires advertising permission and an accepted submission; a short-lived random confirmation identifier prevents duplicate counting. | Confirmation identifier expires after 10 minutes and is consumed once. |
