Cookie policy

Last updated: 1 March 2025

1. What IRONWOOD TRADE LIMITED stores, in short

This website does not set advertising cookies and does not run third-party marketing trackers. To remember whether you accepted or declined the storage notice, the site writes a single preference into your browser's local storage. That value never leaves your device and is not transmitted to IRONWOOD TRADE LIMITED or to anyone else.

2. What "local storage" means here

Local storage is a feature built into your browser. Instead of the server sending a small file to your computer every time you visit, the file stays entirely on your device and the JavaScript running on the page reads it directly. That is the mechanism IRONWOOD TRADE LIMITED uses for the preference banner.

The key used on headwhitbona.com is wbConsent, and its only possible values are accepted and declined. It contains no identifier, no contact details and no timestamp.

3. What the banner does

• On your first visit the banner is visible in the lower left corner, because the page ships with the banner shown and the script then checks what your browser already holds.
• If wbConsent is already set to accepted or declined, the script hides the banner and it will not appear again on that browser.
• Choosing Accept all stores the value accepted. Choosing Decline all stores the value declined. Both close the banner immediately.
• Because the mechanism works the same way on every page, the banner behaves identically wherever you meet it on the site.

4. Why it is needed

Without this preference the banner would reappear on every page, which trains people to dismiss notices without reading them. Storing the choice keeps the site quiet for people who have already answered, and leaves the notice visible for everyone else. This is the only storage value the site writes from the banner.

5. Clearing the preference

You can remove the stored value at any time and the banner will reappear on your next visit:

• Open the site in your browser and clear site data for headwhitbona.com, or
• Use your browser developer tools to remove the wbConsent entry from local storage, or
• Use the "clear browsing data" option in your browser with site data included.

Your browser may also be configured to block or clear local storage. In that case the banner will reappear on every page, which is the expected behaviour and does not affect the rest of the site.

6. Server-side logging and analytics

When your browser requests a page, our hosting and security providers record technical information such as the requested address, the time of the request and a truncated network identifier for security purposes. Our website analytics provider records aggregated page views and device information. This is handled by our service providers under contract, as described in the privacy policy. That request data is not used to build advertising profiles and is not sold or shared with advertisers.

7. Third-party resources loaded by the page

The site loads a CSS framework and web fonts from external content delivery networks, and a script that handles the mobile menu, the accordion, the counters and the contact forms. Those providers can see the request for their own file, which includes your IP address and browser information, exactly as any website host can. They act as processors for the delivery of the page and do not receive the contents of the local storage value described above.

8. Changes and contact

If the storage mechanism changes, this page is updated on the same day and the banner text is updated with it.
