Cookie Policy
Effective date: June 7, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how HOA in a Box ("we," "us") uses cookies and similar technologies on
hoainabox.com (the "Site"). It supplements our
Privacy Policy. HOA in a Box takes a deliberately
minimal approach: we use only the technologies necessary to operate the Site and to
measure usage in a privacy-respecting way.
We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not allow third-party cross-site
behavioral tracking.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. Similar technologies include local storage and pixels. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the site you visit) or "third-party" (set by another domain). They can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" (retained for a set period).
2. Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary
These are required for the Site to function and to keep it secure. They include cookies and tokens used to protect our forms from automated abuse (Cloudflare Turnstile) and to maintain basic security. These cannot be switched off through our interface because the Site would not work properly without them.
Functional
These remember choices you make to improve your experience — for example, your light or dark theme preference. They do not track you across other websites.
Analytics
We do not use third-party web analytics cookies. We do not set advertising cookies or build cross-site profiles. Any usage measurement we perform is first-party, privacy-respecting, and based on aggregate server-side metrics rather than tracking cookies.
3. Cookies we do not use
- No Google Analytics.
- No Meta (Facebook) Pixel or other social advertising trackers.
- No third-party advertising or retargeting cookies.
- No cross-context behavioral advertising or sale of personal information.
4. Summary of cookies and similar technologies
| Name / technology | Provider | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Theme preference | HOA in a Box (first-party) | Remembers light/dark mode selection | Functional, persistent |
| Turnstile token | Cloudflare | Protects forms from automated abuse | Strictly necessary, session |
5. Managing cookies
Most browsers let you view, manage, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Because we do not use advertising cookies, you can browse the Site without consenting to any tracking for advertising. If you block strictly-necessary cookies, parts of the Site (such as form submission) may not function. Your browser may also offer a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal; because we do not sell or share personal information for advertising, there is nothing to opt out of, and we honor such signals by design.
6. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will revise the effective date above.
