What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help pages function, remember preferences, or understand how the site is used.

How we use cookies

Harbor Crest Financial Advice uses essential cookies required to operate the site and remember your cookie preference. Optional analytics cookies load only if you accept them via our consent banner. Rejecting analytics does not block access to advice pages, forms, or contact details.

Managing or disabling cookies

Use Accept or Reject on the banner when it appears. To change a stored choice, clear site data for softwarearchitecture.digital in your browser settings; the banner will appear again on your next visit. You can also block cookies entirely in browser settings. Essential storage for consent may still be required for the banner to function.

Third-party cookies

If you accept analytics, a processor may set cookies on their domain as listed above. Embedded fonts from Google Fonts are loaded via stylesheet request and do not set advertising cookies for our use. We do not embed social media tracking pixels on this site.

Impact of disabling

Rejecting or blocking analytics cookies does not affect requesting a discovery call, reading the journal, or viewing fee guidance. Blocking all cookies may prevent us from remembering your preference, so the banner may reappear.
