1. Overview
Northern Onyx LLC (“Northern Onyx,” “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies to operate our website, remember preferences, improve performance, understand website usage, protect our services, and support business communications.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. It explains what cookies are, why we use them, what choices you have, and how to manage your preferences.
Important: Our website may not use every category listed below at all times. Some technologies are used only if enabled for analytics, advertising, embedded content, security, form handling, or future website features.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can help a website recognize your browser, remember your preferences, maintain a session, improve security, measure performance, or support advertising and analytics.
Similar technologies may include local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, web beacons, scripts, server logs, software development kits, device identifiers, and browser or device fingerprinting.
First-Party and Third-Party Cookies
- First-party cookies are set by Northern Onyx or our website domain.
- Third-party cookies are set by outside services, such as analytics providers, embedded content providers, advertising platforms, form processors, hosting tools, marketplaces, or security providers.

3. Scope of This Policy
This Cookie Policy applies to cookies and similar technologies used on our website, landing pages, contact forms, policy pages, and related online experiences controlled by Northern Onyx.
This policy does not control cookies used by third-party platforms that we do not own or operate. For example, if you purchase Northern Onyx products through Amazon, Amazon may use its own cookies and tracking technologies under its own privacy and cookie policies.
Third-party sites, marketplaces, social media pages, embedded tools, and external services may collect information independently. You should review their privacy and cookie notices before using those services.

7. Third-Party Cookies and Services
We may work with third-party services that set or read cookies and similar technologies. These services may include website hosting, form processing, analytics, fraud prevention, marketplace integrations, advertising tools, embedded content, email services, and customer support platforms.

8. Your Cookie Preferences
You can review or update cookie preferences for this browser using the preference center below. Essential cookies and storage items remain active because they are needed for core functionality, security, and preference management.
Withdrawing Consent
You may change your preferences at any time using the cookie settings button on this page. Changing your preferences does not automatically delete cookies already stored by your browser or by third parties. You may also need to clear cookies through your browser settings.
Different Devices and Browsers
Cookie preferences are usually stored per browser and per device. If you use multiple browsers, devices, private browsing modes, or clear browser storage, you may need to set your preferences again.
9. Browser Controls
Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or limit cookies. You can usually find these controls in your browser’s privacy, security, or site settings.
Browser controls may allow you to:
- Delete existing cookies.
- Block all cookies or only third-party cookies.
- Clear site data when closing the browser.
- Limit cross-site tracking.
- Manage permissions for location, camera, notifications, popups, and scripts.
Blocking essential cookies may cause parts of the website to stop working properly. For example, forms, preference storage, security protections, or session-based features may not function as expected.
10. Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track
Some browsers or extensions may send privacy signals such as Global Privacy Control (“GPC”) or Do Not Track (“DNT”).
Where legally required and technically feasible, we will honor applicable opt-out preference signals, including signals related to sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or similar processing.
Because DNT standards have not been adopted consistently across all browsers, websites, and advertising providers, our response to DNT signals may vary. GPC or other legally recognized signals may receive different treatment where applicable law requires it.
11. Advertising and Marketing Cookies
Northern Onyx may use advertising or marketing cookies in the future to measure campaigns, understand referral sources, limit repetitive ads, support conversion tracking, or improve marketing performance.
If we use advertising cookies or pixels, they may process information such as pages viewed, referral source, approximate location, device type, browser type, timestamps, interactions, and unique identifiers.
California and U.S. State Privacy Rights
Some U.S. privacy laws may treat certain advertising, cross-context behavioral advertising, targeted advertising, or data sharing through cookies as “sharing,” “sale,” or targeted advertising. Where applicable, you may have the right to opt out of these practices.
If we enable technologies that fall under those categories, we will provide an appropriate opt-out mechanism or honor legally recognized preference signals where required.
12. Analytics and Performance Measurement
Analytics tools help us understand how visitors use the website. This may include page views, device type, browser type, approximate region, traffic source, errors, page performance, and general engagement.
We use analytics information to improve page structure, loading speed, content clarity, user experience, contact form performance, and website reliability.
Where required by law, analytics cookies or similar technologies will be used only after consent. Some privacy-friendly analytics configurations may use aggregated or de-identified information, but cookie rules may still apply depending on the technology used and the user’s location.
13. Children’s Privacy and Cookies
Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly use cookies to collect personal information from children under 13 for targeted advertising.
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.
14. Cookie Retention
Cookies and similar technologies may remain on your device for different periods depending on their purpose and provider.
| Type | Typical Retention | Notes |

| Session Cookies | Until the browser session ends. | Used for temporary functionality, session state, or security. |
| Preference Storage | Until deleted or changed. | Used to remember theme and cookie preference choices. |
| Security Logs | Limited period based on provider policy. | Used for abuse prevention, diagnostics, and website protection. |
| Analytics Cookies | Varies by provider and configuration. | Used only if analytics tools are enabled and permitted. |
| Advertising Cookies | Varies by advertising platform. | Used only if advertising or conversion tracking is enabled and permitted. |
You can delete cookies and site storage through your browser settings. Some third-party cookies may need to be managed directly through the third-party provider or browser controls.
