This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Balto Energy, Inc. ("Balto," "we," "us," or "our") uses them on https://baltoenergy.com (the "Site"), and the choices you have. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which describes how we handle home owner information more broadly.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are used to store small pieces of information. "Local storage" is a related browser technology that lets a site save small amounts of data on your device. They are stored on your device when a website is loaded in your browser. These technologies help a website function properly, make it more secure, provide a better user experience, and understand how the website performs.
Cookies and local storage can be set by the site you are visiting ("first-party") or by an outside service ("third-party"). This Site uses only first-party storage, and only the strictly-necessary items described below.
How Do We Use Cookies?
We use cookies and local storage only to make the Site function and to remember your choices. We do not use them for advertising, and we do not use them to track you across other websites or to build a profile of you.
The section below lists cookies by category, using the standard categories you will see across the web. Where a category is marked not currently used, we do not set those cookies on your device. If that changes, we will update this Cookie Policy and, where required, ask for your consent before setting them.
Types of Cookies We Use
Necessary — in use
Necessary cookies are required to enable the basic features of this Site, such as remembering your preferences and keeping the Site secure. They do not store any personally identifiable information. These are the only items this Site currently stores on your device:
| Name | Type | Duration | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| balto-theme | Local storage | Until cleared | Remembers whether you chose the light or dark theme so the Site renders in your preferred appearance. |
| balto-cookie-consent | Local storage | Until cleared | Records that you have seen and acknowledged our cookie notice, so it is not shown to you on every visit. |
Functional — not currently used
Functional cookies help perform certain functionalities such as sharing the content of the website on social media platforms, collecting feedback, and other third-party features. We do not currently set functional cookies.
Analytics — no cookies set on your device
Analytics cookies are used to understand how visitors interact with a website, helping provide metrics such as the number of visitors, bounce rate, and traffic source. We do not set analytics cookies on your device (for example, Google Analytics). We use a privacy-friendly, cookieless web-analytics tool to understand aggregate usage (such as page views and referrers); it sets no cookies, stores no cross-site identifiers, and does not track you across other websites. We also use server-side service monitoring to keep the Site reliable and secure; that is not a cookie and stores nothing on your device. Both are described in our Privacy Policy.
Performance — not currently used
Performance cookies are used to understand and analyze the key performance indexes of a website, which helps deliver a better user experience. We do not currently set performance cookies.
Advertisement — not used
Advertisement cookies are used to provide visitors with customized advertisements based on the pages they visited and to analyze the effectiveness of ad campaigns. We do not use advertisement cookies, and we do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Others — none
These are cookies that are being analyzed and have not yet been classified into a category. We have none.
Manage Your Preferences
Because this Site uses only strictly-necessary, first-party storage, there are no optional cookie categories to turn on or off, so we do not currently show a cookie-settings control. If we later introduce optional cookies (for example, analytics or marketing), we will add a consent banner and a Cookie Settings control so you can review, change, or withdraw your choices at any time — before those cookies are set.
You can also control cookies and local storage directly in your browser. Most browsers let you view, block, and delete cookies and clear local storage through their settings. Because the two items above are strictly necessary, clearing them will not stop the Site from working — you will simply see the default theme and the cookie notice again on your next visit.
Updates to This Policy
If our cookie usage changes — for example, if we add analytics, marketing, or other third-party services — we will update this Cookie Policy to describe them and add the consent controls described above. This policy will also be reviewed and finalized alongside Balto's consumer launch.
