Cookie Policy
Last updated: 13 August 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Forgeway Futures uses cookies and similar technologies on our website. It applies to all visitors using forgewayfutures.com.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They help the site remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and whether you are signed in.
Why we use cookies
We use cookies to keep you signed in, remember your cookie choices, and — with your consent — power tailored suggestions and analytics. We do not sell cookie data to third parties.
Cookies we use
| Category | Name / type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | herald_consent_v1 | Records your cookie choices so we don't ask you on every visit. | 1 year |
| Essential | Supabase auth tokens | Keeps your session secure while you are signed in. Set by our backend authentication provider. | Session / up to 1 year |
| Functional & personalisation | Feature preference flags | Remembers your choices so we can tailor suggestions in sections like Map your path and AI Concierge. | 1 year (only if you accept functional cookies) |
| Analytics | Analytics identifiers | Will help us understand how visitors use the site if we enable analytics in the future. | Only set after consent |
| Marketing | Marketing identifiers | Will support advertising and campaign measurement if we run marketing in the future. | Only set after consent |
Newsletter sign-up storage
If you subscribe to the weekly newsletter, we store a small flag in your browser's local storage so we do not show you the sign-up form again on that device. This is strictly necessary for the feature to work and holds no personal data. The email address you enter is stored securely in our database — see our Privacy Policy for how we use it.
How to manage your choices
When you first visit, we show a cookie banner where you can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or choose exactly which categories you allow. You can change your choice at any time by clicking the cookie banner again, or by visiting this page and using the button below.
Third-party services
Our authentication is provided by our backend infrastructure. It may set essential session cookies to keep you signed in. We do not currently use analytics or marketing scripts, but if we add them later they will only be loaded after you consent to the relevant category.
