This Cookie Policy explains exactly which cookies the Heartway Corporation website (heartway.org) sets, why, and how long they last. We keep cookie use to the absolute minimum required to operate the site.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work or to remember choices you have made.
Cookies this website sets
We use only strictly necessary cookies. No analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies are set by this website — ever.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Category | Type | Retention | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
GAESA |
Load-balancer session affinity. Ensures your browser is routed to the same server throughout a single visit so pages load consistently. | Strictly necessary | Session | Deleted when you close your browser | Replit hosting platform (on behalf of Heartway) |
Third-party services and their cookies
Certain features of the site involve third-party services that may set their own cookies. These are described below.
Google Fonts
Page fonts are loaded from fonts.googleapis.com. Google may log the font request (IP address, browser, referring URL) in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy. Google Fonts does not set tracking cookies in your browser.
Google Maps (community pages only)
Each Heartway community page includes an interactive Google Maps embed that loads automatically when you visit the page. Google Maps will set its own cookies in accordance with Google’s Privacy Policy. We use loading="lazy" so the map only fetches once it is near the visible area of the page, but no click is required.
What we do not use cookies for
- Analytics or visitor tracking (no Google Analytics, no Matomo, no similar tools)
- Advertising or remarketing
- Social-media tracking pixels
- Any profiling of individual visitors
Managing and deleting cookies
You can view, control, or delete cookies through your browser settings. The links below go to the relevant help page for common browsers:
Deleting or blocking the GAESA cookie will not prevent you from using this website; it may cause the load balancer to assign you to a different server on each request, which has no visible effect for a read-only site like this one.
Changes to this policy
If we add new features that introduce additional cookies, we will update this policy and revise the “Last updated” date above before those features go live.
