This Cookie Policy explains how FairwayWren ("we", "us", or "our"), operating fairwaywren.com, uses cookies, localStorage, and similar technologies when you visit our golf gear review website. By continuing to use our site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.
What Are Cookies and localStorage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. localStorage is a similar browser-based storage mechanism that allows websites to save data directly in your browser without an expiration date, unlike traditional cookies. FairwayWren uses both technologies to support essential site functions and, where permitted, to understand how visitors use our content.
How FairwayWren Uses These Technologies
- Consent Preference (localStorage): When you visit fairwaywren.com, a cookie consent banner appears asking whether you accept or decline non-essential cookies. Your choice (accept or decline) is stored in your browser's localStorage so we can remember your preference on future visits and avoid repeatedly showing the banner.
- Essential Functionality: Some technical storage may be used purely to keep the site operating correctly, such as remembering display preferences or ensuring pages load properly. This does not require consent as it is necessary for basic site operation.
- Analytics Cookies (only if accepted): If you click "Accept" on our consent banner, we activate analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors interact with our golf gear reviews, comparisons, and buying guides. This includes information such as pages viewed, time spent on site, referring websites, and general device or browser information. These cookies are not activated if you decline or ignore the banner.
Third-Party Analytics Cookies
When analytics cookies are enabled, they are provided by third-party analytics services that we use to measure site performance and improve our content. These providers may set their own cookies to collect aggregated, non-identifying usage data, such as which review pages are most popular or how visitors navigate between our golf club, ball, and apparel reviews. We do not control these third-party cookies directly; they are governed by the respective privacy and cookie policies of the analytics providers.
We do not use these tools to sell your personal data, and any analytics data collected is used solely to improve the quality and relevance of our golf gear reviews and site experience.
How to Withdraw or Change Your Consent
You are in full control of your cookie preferences. If you initially accepted cookies and wish to withdraw that consent, or if you want to reset your choice so the consent banner appears again, you can do so by clearing your browser's cookies and localStorage data for fairwaywren.com. The general steps are as follows:
- Open your browser's settings or preferences menu.
- Locate the privacy, security, or site data section.
- Find fairwaywren.com in your list of stored site data.
- Clear cookies and site data (including localStorage) associated with fairwaywren.com.
- Refresh the page — the consent banner will reappear, allowing you to make a new choice.
Alternatively, most browsers allow you to block all cookies or clear all browsing data at once, though this will affect your saved preferences across all websites, not just ours.
Browser Controls
In addition to clearing site data, you can manage cookie behavior directly through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block cookies entirely, delete existing cookies, or receive a notification before a cookie is set. Please note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of fairwaywren.com and other websites you visit.
Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and localStorage.
