Cookie Policy

Last updated: October 7, 2026

Overview

HoneyPackFinder uses Google Analytics cookies to measure visits when analytics is enabled, and a functional cookie for administrator authentication. The directory and search features work when analytics is disabled. Our separate first-party analytics does not set a visitor cookie.

Cookies We Set

Name	Purpose	Duration	Type
_ga, _ga_*	Google Analytics browser and session measurement, when analytics is enabled.	Depends on Google Analytics configuration and browser limits; may persist between visits.	Analytics
admin_session	Authenticates admin dashboard access. Only set when a site administrator logs in at `/admin`.	24 hours	Functional

The admin_session cookie is only for authenticated administrators. The analytics preference is stored separately in local browser storage under hpf:analytics-disabled.

Analytics Controls

Use the analytics controls on our privacy page to disable analytics for this browser. Our analytics code also honors Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Disabling future measurement does not erase existing cookies or previously collected data. Our Google Analytics configuration disables Google signals and advertising personalization signals.

Third-Party Cookies

Cloudflare, which serves our site, may set a __cf_bm cookie for bot management purposes. This is a strictly necessary security cookie and is governed by Cloudflare's Cookie Policy.

If you click an affiliate link to an external site, that site may set its own cookies under its own policy. We have no control over third-party cookies.

Managing Cookies

You can delete or block cookies through your browser settings. Directory browsing does not require analytics cookies. Clearing site storage also clears the saved analytics preference; DNT and GPC browser settings continue to apply. Blocking functional cookies may prevent administrator sign-in. For instructions, visit your browser's help documentation.
