Where required by applicable law, Hardy Hill Farms will request consent before using non-essential cookies or similar tracking technologies.[cite:19][cite:25] Most browsers also allow users to control cookies through their settings, and some advertising preferences can be managed through Meta and other industry opt-out tools.[cite:19]
