Last updated: 12 June 2026

Version 1.2

1. Who we are

This Cookie Policy explains how Anchor Labs ("we", "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use MyIceGuide at myiceguide.com, including the secure vault, professional collaboration, document exchange, and secure communication features.

Anchor Labs, Van Wesembekestraat 113, 3132 XW Vlaardingen, Nederland. KvK: 92264514. VAT: NL004946495B59. Contact: support@myiceguide.com.

For broader information about how we process personal data, see our Privacy Policy.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your session, keep accounts secure, and provide core functionality. Similar technologies (such as secure session tokens) may be used for the same purposes.

3. How MyIceGuide uses cookies

MyIceGuide uses essential cookies for authentication, session security, account access, professional portal sessions, document collaboration, secure messaging, fraud prevention, and platform security. These cookies are required for the service to work and cannot be disabled through our cookie banner.

With your consent, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to measure how the website and app are used — for example page views and key conversion steps such as registration or subscription checkout. GA4 uses cookies such as _ga and _ga_* only after you enable analytics in the cookie banner or Cookie Settings. We use Google Consent Mode v2: analytics storage remains denied until you grant consent.

You can review, enable, or withdraw analytics consent at any time on our Cookie Settings page (/cookie-settings). Withdrawing analytics consent stops GA4 from loading on future page views and updates Google Consent Mode to deny analytics storage.

Referral and affiliate attribution cookies are only used when referral features are enabled; referral features are currently disabled, so those cookies are not placed. Marketing or advertising cookies are not used.

You can delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Doing so may log you out of MyIceGuide or prevent secure access to your account until you sign in again.

4. Cookie categories

Essential cookies

Required for login sessions, secure account access, authentication state, trusted contact portal sessions, professional portal sessions, and platform security. These cookies cannot be disabled through the cookie banner because the service cannot function without them.

Consent is not required — these cookies are necessary for the requested service or store your preferences.

Preference cookies

Store choices such as cookie banner acknowledgement. Future UI preferences may use this category if added.

Consent is not required — these cookies are necessary for the requested service or store your preferences.

6. Managing cookies

Most browsers let you:

Blocking essential MyIceGuide cookies will prevent login, dashboard access, and trusted contact portal sessions from working correctly.

Our cookie banner and Cookie Settings page record your choices. Essential cookies cannot be disabled because they are required to provide the service you request.

If you previously chose essential cookies only, you can enable analytics later in Cookie Settings. If you previously enabled analytics, you can withdraw consent there at any time — we update Google Consent Mode immediately and GA4 will not load on future page views.

  • View cookies stored on your device.
  • Delete some or all cookies.
  • Block cookies from specific sites or all sites.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our use of cookies changes. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the current version. Material changes will be communicated where appropriate.
