DRAFT — testing only · not final, pending legal review

Cookie Policy

Effective date August 13, 2026 · Version 1.0 · Last reviewed August 13, 2026

This template explains how this website uses cookies and similar technologies. It reflects a 2026 posture and must be finalized by counsel to match the site's actual cookie inventory before it is relied upon. It should be read together with the Privacy Policy.

Today, this site uses strictly-necessary cookies only. Unless and until this notice is changed, we do not set analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies, and we do not use cookies to sell or share personal information. [to be finalized]

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. Similar technologies include local storage, pixels, and software development kits. Some are essential to make a site work; others are used to measure usage or to advertise. This site's current use is described below.

2. Categories we use

2.1 Strictly-necessary cookies In use today

These are required for the site to function — for example, to maintain security, remember your theme or accessibility preferences, or route requests. They cannot be switched off through a consent control because the site would not work properly without them. Under most U.S. and international frameworks, strictly-necessary cookies do not require opt-in consent.

2.2 Analytics cookies Not in use

These would measure how visitors use the site (for example, which pages are viewed). We do not use analytics cookies today. If they are ever introduced, this Policy and the inventory below will be updated first, and non-essential categories will be off by default until you opt in.

2.3 Marketing / advertising cookies Not in use

These would support advertising or cross-site tracking. We do not use marketing or advertising cookies, and we do not embed third-party ad pixels. If that ever changes, the safeguards in Section 4 will apply.

3. Cookie inventory

The following table lists the cookies this site sets. All entries are placeholders pending confirmation of the actual inventory.

Name Purpose Category Expiry
[to be finalized] [to be finalized] [to be finalized] [to be finalized]
[to be finalized] [to be finalized] [to be finalized] [to be finalized]
[to be finalized] [to be finalized] [to be finalized] [to be finalized]

[to be finalized] — this table must be reconciled against the live site before publishing.

4. Global Privacy Control & opt-outs

Stewardvine honors Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals. If non-essential cookies are ever introduced, a browser or extension that sends a GPC signal will be treated as a request to opt out of any applicable selling or sharing, without requiring any further action from you.

If non-essential cookies are ever added, Stewardvine commits to provide:

  • a clear opt-out control, with non-essential categories off by default until you choose otherwise;
  • an opt-out confirmation so you know your choice was recorded;
  • equal-prominence “Accept” and “Decline” choices, with no dark patterns — no pre-checked boxes, no buried decline option, and no design that nudges you toward accepting.

5. “Do Not Sell or Share” & cookies

Because this site does not sell or share personal information through cookies today, a dedicated “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” control is not required for cookies at this time. If Stewardvine ever introduces cookies that involve selling or sharing as defined by applicable law, Stewardvine will add the required control and continue to honor GPC signals. See the Privacy Policy for how Stewardvine handles personal information generally.

6. Managing cookies in your browser

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies may cause parts of the site to stop working. For instructions specific to your browser, see its help documentation.

7. Changes to this Policy

We will update this Policy if our use of cookies changes — for example, if any non-essential cookie is introduced. The “Last reviewed” date above reflects the most recent update.
