Cookie Policy
The full list of cookies this website uses, what each one does, how long it lasts, and how to change your preference.
Effective date: August 22, 2026
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files a website stores on your device to remember information between visits or requests — for example, whether you've already made a choice, or what you were doing on a previous page. Some cookies are required for a site to function at all; others are only set with your consent, for purposes like advertising measurement or understanding how visitors use a site.
Cookies We Use
This is the complete list of cookies (and similar browser storage) set by this website and the tools it uses, as of the effective date above:
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Duration | Category |
|---|---|---|---|---|
_gcl_au | Google Ads | Stores ad-click information so a later action — like submitting our contact form — can be linked back to the ad that brought you here. | 90 days | Marketing |
_gac_* | Google Ads | Stores ad campaign click information for the same conversion-linking purpose. Only set if you arrived via a link containing a Google Ads click identifier. | 90 days | Marketing |
_clck | Microsoft Clarity | Persists a pseudonymous Clarity user ID, so repeat visits are recognized as the same visitor. | 1 year | Analytics |
_clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Groups multiple page views into a single Clarity session recording. | 1 day | Analytics |
cookie_consent, cookie_consent_timestamp | Benedict Corp. (first-party) | Stores your cookie preference and when you made it — see the note below. | ~6 months | Necessary |
cookie_consent and cookie_consent_timestamp are not, technically, cookies — they are stored in your browser's local storage rather than as cookies. They are listed here for completeness, since they still involve storing a small piece of data on your device.
Microsoft Clarity may also set a small number of additional third-party cookies not listed individually above — including CLID, MUID, ANONCHK, MR, and SM — to recognize repeat visits across Microsoft's own services. See Microsoft's Clarity Cookies reference for what each one does.
Once you've granted consent, Google Ads may also set additional third-party cookies under the doubleclick.net domain — such as IDE and ar_debug — used for ad measurement. These aren't set while your preference is Reject (or before you've made a choice). See Google's Types of cookies used by Google for the complete, current list.
How to Change Your Preference
You can change your cookie preference at any time using the "Manage cookie preferences" link in the footer of every page. This reopens the same choice you saw on your first visit — Accept all, Reject optional, or Choose selection to turn Analytics and Marketing on or off individually — and takes effect immediately. Necessary cookies are always on and can't be disabled, since the site can't function without them.
Consent Duration
Your choice is remembered for approximately 6 months. After that, we'll ask again the next time you visit, so your preference always reflects a reasonably recent decision rather than one made a long time ago.
Browser-Level Control
Beyond the choice above, your browser itself lets you view, block, or delete cookies at any time, including ones already stored on your device. See your browser's own help pages for how:
