Cookie and storage controls operate under Consent Mode v2.
This technical document outlines the local storage keys, session parameters, advertising network click tokens, and strict denial defaults deployed across blueharborly.com in compliance with North Carolina and US state privacy standards.
This cookie specification took effect on November 8, 2026 and governs all browser storage mechanisms on blueharborly.com.
The schedules detailed in this policy reflect current tag architecture and advertising network integrations. Blueharborly maintains this transparent ledger to document every client-side token, its functional lifetime, and its regulatory justification.
Client storage elements divide into three distinct functional classifications: strictly necessary, analytical telemetry, and advertising attribution.
Strictly necessary mechanisms are essential for page rendering, intake chat continuity, cross-site request forgery prevention, and maintaining visitor consent preferences. These tokens do not track individual behavior across unrelated websites and execute automatically upon navigation.
Analytical mechanisms evaluate aggregated traffic flow, browser viewport compatibility, and link interactions to verify that legal resource documents remain accessible across mobile and desktop devices.
Advertising mechanisms record campaign click attribution, link parameters, and landing page conversions originating from paid commercial legal campaigns.
The tabular schedule below catalogues every active cookie and local storage key utilized across our digital infrastructure.
| Storage Key | Origin Entity | Functional Purpose | Retention Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
site_consent_v2 |
Blueharborly (First Party) | Persists user affirmative consent or decline preference | 12 months |
chat_token |
Blueharborly (First Party) | Maintains intake chat conversation continuity across page views | Session (or 30 days) |
_ga |

_ga_* |
Google LLC | Maintains session state and interaction depth for Google Analytics | 24 months (if consented) |
_gcl_au |
Google Ads | Experimentation with conversion linking across advertising placements | 90 days (if consented) |
_uetmsclkid |
Microsoft Advertising | Associates Microsoft Advertising clicks with intake conversions | 90 days (if consented) |
Blueharborly actively receives targeted commercial traffic directed from Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta Ads.
When a business officer or representative clicks an ad linking to blueharborly.com, the directing ad platform appends a query parameter to the landing page URL:
- Google Ads (google ads): Appends the gclid (Google Click Identifier) token to measure conversion performance and keyword relevance.
- Microsoft Advertising: Attaches the msclkid (Microsoft Click Identifier) token to attribute commercial banking inquiries.
- Meta Ads: Transmits the fbclid token to evaluate traffic routing from corporate announcement campaigns.
Our server extracts these parameters exclusively for intake attribution and advertising efficiency auditing. Click identifiers are never matched against external consumer credit dossiers or sensitive personal registries.
All browser telemetry operates under the strict architecture of Google Consent Mode v2, holding all four core signals denied by default.
Before any visitor interacts with our consent dock, our tag scripts dispatch a default configuration command setting all four parameters to a denied state:
| Consent Signal | Default Setting | Post-Decline State | Post-Accept State |
|---|---|---|---|
ad_storage |
denied | denied | granted |
ad_user_data |
denied | denied | granted |
ad_personalization |
denied | denied | granted |
analytics_storage |
denied | denied | granted |
Under this protocol, no advertising cookie is read or written until the visitor chooses “Accept All”. If the visitor selects “Decline Optional”, each signal remains strictly denied. If consent is revoked later, the scripts issue immediate update commands returning all four signals back to denied.
Visitors indicate storage choices via the bottom consent dock and may modify or revoke elections at any time via the footer link.
When navigating to blueharborly.com for the first time, an unobtrusive banner appears offering two equal actions: “Decline Optional” and “Accept All”. Choosing “Decline Optional” limits browser storage strictly to necessary operations. Choosing “Accept All” enables analytical and advertising tags.
You may change or withdraw your choice at any moment. Every page of this website carries a persistent “Manage Cookies” button in the footer legal bar. Clicking that control instantly reopens the consent preference interface, allowing immediate revocation.
Declining optional cookies does not restrict access to practice information, litigation fee tables, or direct matter intake forms.
Blueharborly does not employ cookie walls or penalize visitors who decline tracking. If you decline optional storage:
- All legal services pages, rates, and court procedural guidelines load completely.
- The direct matter intake form at benoe04.php remains fully operational.
- The intake chat assistant at raha48b.php functions normally via ephemeral session tokens.
- Only third-party conversion measurement, remarketing tags, and aggregated analytics are deactivated.
Visitors may review the independent privacy covenants and tracking controls published directly by our advertising infrastructure partners.

- Google Ads: Review Google Advertising Technologies and Privacy Terms at policies.google.com.
These third-party platforms maintain independent opt-out portals allowing cross-network personalization opt-outs across all participating corporate websites.
