1. Usage of Cookies
Larch Blend Lab uses strictly necessary cookies to enable basic website functionality and secure the client portal gateway.
2. Analytics
We use anonymized analytical cookies to measure traffic patterns and optimize the delivery of our thought leadership content.
3. Managing Preferences
You may configure your browser to reject analytical cookies without loss of core website functionality.
4. What We Set, Specifically
Beyond the session cookie that keeps the client portal login gateway secure, we set one first-party preference cookie (remembers whether you've dismissed our briefing-availability notice) and one analytics cookie (identifies which case study or expertise page led to a Schedule Briefing click). We do not deploy third-party advertising trackers on this domain.
5. Duration
The portal-security session cookie expires when you close your browser. Preference and analytics cookies persist for up to 12 months, after which your browser clears them and preferences reset on your next visit.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Our analytics vendor may set a cookie of its own to distinguish new from returning visitors; it receives an anonymized identifier, not your name or contact information.
7. Updates
Where the tools underlying this website change, we will update this policy and its Effective Date accordingly.
8. Browser-Level Controls
Most desktop and mobile browsers let you inspect, block, or delete cookies on a per-site basis. In Chrome and Edge, this is found under Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies; in Safari, under Preferences > Privacy; in Firefox, under Settings > Privacy & Security. Blocking all cookies site-wide will prevent the client portal login gateway from functioning, since it depends on the essential session cookie described in Section 4.
9. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites. There is no accepted industry standard for how sites should respond to DNT, and this website does not currently alter its cookie behavior based on that signal. We rely instead on the browser-level controls described above and on keeping our own cookie footprint deliberately small.
10. Cookies and Confidentiality
None of the cookies described in this policy are used to identify or profile the individuals involved in an active advisory engagement. The operational, financial, and personnel data protected under the Non-Disclosure Agreements referenced in our Privacy Policy is transmitted through separate, dedicated engagement channels — never through website cookies or browser storage.
11. Contact
Questions about this Cookie Policy can be directed to legal@larchblendlab.com.
12. Consent Records
Your acceptance or rejection of non-essential cookies is stored locally the first time you visit, so you are not re-prompted on every subsequent page within the same session.
13. Local Storage
Beyond cookies, your browser may retain minimal local storage data — for instance, whether the mobile navigation menu was previously opened. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our systems.
14. Relationship to Confidential Engagement Data
Nothing described in this Cookie Policy applies to the client-specific operational data protected under NDA. That data is exchanged through dedicated engagement channels, never through cookies or browser storage.
