We audit digital storage keys with transparent retention clocks.
Ace Valley Hub uses browser storage strictly to preserve communication sessions and respect consent choices. Review our complete tracking register, storage lifecycles, and advertising parameters below.

This Cookie Policy took effect on October 30, 2026 (2026-10-30), was last amended on 2026-10-30, and governs all browser storage, tracking parameters, and client-side tokens across acevalleyhub.com.

Storage Classifications & Code Architecture
Client-side storage on this website operates under three strictly bounded classifications:
1. Strictly Necessary Storage: Foundational storage required to preserve your privacy preference itself. The consent choice is stored in the browser under site_consent_v2, and nothing else on this site persists a choice. It operates automatically to keep your preference without profiling.
2. Functional Support Chat Storage: The support chat (gace815.php) keeps the conversation and a token in the visitor’s browser so they can return to it across sessions without losing message context.
3. Analytical & Advertising Storage: Third-party attribution storage deployed strictly when affirmative consent is granted. Governed entirely by Consent Mode v2 for Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and Meta Ads.
Strict Limitation: No account, no password, no payment and no card data: nothing is sold on this site and no payment is taken.
Complete Storage Register & Real Retention Periods
What this site’s own code records, and nothing beyond it: The inquiry form (sume141.php) writes: name, phone, email, address, the kind of enquiry, the message, the requested specification, the consent tick. With it, automatically: the IP address, the browser’s user-agent string, the referring URL, the moment the form was rendered and the moment it was sent.
Retention periods are stated as real periods, never “as long as necessary”:

Advertising Attribution & Click Identifiers
Advertising, in the present tense — this site receives paid clicks today: Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising and Meta Ads send traffic here.
Click identifiers: gclid (Google), msclkid (Microsoft), fbclid (Meta).
When a visitor arrives via a sponsored campaign, these identifiers are read during navigation strictly to attribute inbound conversions:
- Google Ireland Ltd / Google LLC: Google Ads, which attaches gclid to a click and receives the consent signals.
- Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd: Microsoft Advertising, which attaches msclkid; its own handling is covered by the Microsoft privacy statement at https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement.
- Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd: Meta Ads, which attaches fbclid, where a campaign runs there.
Nothing anywhere claims a platform has reviewed, approved or verified this site. We make zero claims of endorsement, verification, or certification by Google, Microsoft, Meta, or any third party.
Consent Mode v2 Operational Mechanics
Ace Valley Hub implements Google Consent Mode v2 on all visitor sessions. Consent Mode v2 holds ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization and analytics_storage denied until the visitor allows storage, and sets them back to denied the moment the visitor declines or withdraws.
ad_storage: Denied by default; prevents creation or reading of advertising cookies.ad_user_data: Denied by default; prevents transmission of user data for advertising measurement.ad_personalization: Denied by default; blocks ad personalization and remarketing signals.analytics_storage: Denied by default; disables persistent analytics identifiers.
Global Privacy Control (the Sec-GPC header) is honoured as an opt-out without asking again. When a Sec-GPC header is detected from your browser, all four parameters remain locked at denied automatically.
Making, Changing & Withdrawing Consent
Upon your first visit, our privacy storage banner gives you clear, equal controls to “Accept Storage” or “Decline”.
The consent choice is stored in the browser under site_consent_v2, and nothing else on this site persists a choice. The record of a consent choice is kept for exactly 12 months.
You may change or withdraw your decision at any time with complete ease. Simply click in the website footer. If you choose to decline or withdraw, Consent Mode v2 sets ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, and analytics_storage back to denied the moment you decline or withdraw, and any active promotional storage is purged immediately.
Consequences of Declining Storage
We enforce zero cookie walls and apply no functional penalties to visitors who decline storage:
What remains completely operational: You can explore all card formats, portfolio studies, pricing benchmarks, and interact with the sizing calculator. You can submit project proposals via our inquiry form (sume141.php) and chat live with our Denver studio team through support chat (gace815.php). No account, no password, no payment and no card data: nothing is sold on this site and no payment is taken.
What stops: No marketing cookies or persistent identifiers are placed. Inbound click identifiers (gclid, msclkid, fbclid) will not be tracked or shared, and all Consent Mode v2 parameters remain strictly denied.
