Cookie Policy
Updated November 4, 2026
Your choice comes first
Optional analytics is disabled by default. We do not load Google Analytics until you select Accept All or enable Analytics in Customize and save. Reject All keeps optional analytics disabled. We do not enable advertising cookies, Google Signals, or advertising personalization in our website configuration.
Cookies used by this website
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Provider | When used |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Analytics: distinguishes visitors for aggregate website usage reporting. | Up to 365 days from creation; no automatic renewal on page views. | Google Analytics / Google LLC | Only after analytics consent |
| _ga_9THKB94PFH | Analytics: maintains session state for this website’s GA4 property. | Up to 365 days from creation; browser limits may shorten retention. | Google Analytics / Google LLC | Only after analytics consent |
| _GRECAPTCHA | Security: reCAPTCHA risk analysis to protect requested forms from spam and automated abuse. | Up to 6 months (provider-controlled). | Google reCAPTCHA / Google LLC, recaptcha.net | When you enable a form security check |
Browser storage
cv_cookie_preferences is CloudVectra’s essential localStorage entry. It stores your analytics choice, policy version, and choice date in your browser only. We do not send this preference record to a database. We honor it for 180 days, then ask again. The stored record remains until overwritten or you clear browser storage; expired or invalid records never authorize analytics. Clearing storage or changing browser/device means you will be asked again. If storage is unavailable, optional analytics remains off on subsequent pages.
Google reCAPTCHA may also use security storage such as rc::a (persistent local storage until cleared), rc::b and rc::c (session storage), and _grecaptcha (persistent local storage until cleared) on its service origins. Google controls this storage. The security check loads only when you select Enable form security check, and is used to protect the form you requested.
Change or withdraw consent
Use Cookie Settings in the footer at any time. Turn Analytics off and Save Preferences, or choose Reject All. We disable further analytics collection, remove accessible Google Analytics cookies on our domain, and reload the page to unload the analytics script. This does not delete data already collected by Google. You can clear third-party cookies and storage through your browser. Rejecting analytics does not prevent browsing or using our forms.
Providers and further information
Analytics cookie lifetimes are explicitly configured by CloudVectra. Google controls reCAPTCHA security cookies and may change its implementation.
