Cookie Policy

Last updated: January 15, 2026 · Applies to privvote.com

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences, maintain session state, and collect limited usage data. Cookies do not execute code and cannot carry viruses. privvote.com uses cookies sparingly and only for the purposes described below.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary

Always active

Required for the website to function. These include session authentication tokens, CSRF protection cookies, and consent preference records. You cannot opt out of these without affecting site functionality.

— pv_session – maintains your current session state
— pv_csrf – cross-site request forgery protection
— pv_consent – stores your cookie consent choice

Analytics

Optional

Help us understand how visitors navigate the site so we can improve performance and usability. All data is aggregated and anonymised — we do not track individual users across sessions or sites.

— Page views, referrer, time on page, browser type
— Provider: Plausible Analytics (privacy-first, no cross-site tracking)
— Retention: 12 months, then automatically deleted

Marketing

Optional

Used to measure the effectiveness of paid campaigns (e.g. Google Ads conversion tracking). These cookies do not build individual advertising profiles or enable retargeting on privvote.com. They record only whether a conversion event occurred.

— Provider: Google Ads conversion tag
— Data: conversion event (yes/no), no message content
— Retention: 90 days

3. Why We Use Cookies

→ To keep your session secure and prevent forged requests
→ To remember your cookie consent choice so we don't ask on every visit
→ To measure aggregate site traffic and identify broken flows
→ To understand which acquisition channels bring engaged visitors

We never use cookies to read, store, or transmit message content. All secret notes and self-destructing messages are handled entirely server-side with no cookie involvement.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services we embed. These parties have their own privacy policies:

Provider	Purpose	Policy
Plausible Analytics	Cookieless analytics (no cookie set)	plausible.io/privacy
Google Ads	Conversion measurement	policies.google.com/privacy

5. How to Manage & Disable Cookies

You have full control over optional cookies:

• Consent banner — when you first visit, you can accept or decline optional cookies. You may change your choice at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.
• Browser settings — all modern browsers let you block or delete cookies. See your browser's help documentation for instructions.
• Google opt-out — install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on or use Google's ad personalisation controls at adssettings.google.com.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies will impair login and session security. We cannot guarantee full functionality if these are disabled.

6. Your Consent

When you first visit privvote.com, a consent banner is shown. By clicking "Accept all" you agree to the use of analytics and marketing cookies. Clicking "Essential only" restricts us to strictly necessary cookies only. Your preference is saved for 12 months in the pv_consent cookie. You may withdraw consent at any time; withdrawal does not affect processing carried out prior to that point.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy if we add new third-party services or change our practices. Material changes will be flagged on the site with an updated "Last updated" date above. Continued use of privvote.com after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
