Cookies Policy

Last updated: [Add launch date]. This is a general-purpose draft and should be reviewed by a qualified professional before the site goes live.

1. Overview

This Cookies Policy explains how NorthernSky ("NorthernSky," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website (northernsky.cloud). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as local storage, serve a comparable purpose — storing small amounts of information in your browser so a site can remember something between visits.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Essential cookies — required for the site to function, such as remembering the choice you make in our cookie consent banner so we don't ask again on every visit.
Security and functionality cookies — used by Cloudflare Turnstile, the verification check on our contact form, to help confirm that a form submission is coming from a real visitor rather than an automated bot.
Analytics cookies — we use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use our site (such as which pages are visited and general interaction patterns), so we can improve it. Clarity cookies are only set after you accept cookies in our consent banner — declining keeps them off.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on our site are set by third-party services we rely on to operate the website or understand how it's used: Cloudflare (for security and performance), Cloudflare Turnstile (for spam protection on our contact form), and Microsoft Clarity (for website analytics, only after you accept cookies). These providers set their own cookies according to their own privacy and cookie practices.

5. Managing Cookies

You can accept or decline non-essential cookies using the banner shown when you first visit our site. You can also control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings — most browsers let you view, manage, and remove stored cookies. Blocking essential cookies may affect how parts of the site function.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookies Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above.
