1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Servalian ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at servalian.com ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to help their websites work efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Servalian) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

Local Storage is similar to cookies but can store larger amounts of data and is stored indefinitely until explicitly cleared by the user or the website. Web Storage (including localStorage and sessionStorage) are browser APIs that allow websites to store data within your browser

3. How We Use Cookies and Local Storage

We use minimal cookies and local storage on our website, specifically:

Functional Local Storage

Theme Preference: We store your preference for light or dark mode in local storage to maintain your preferred site appearance between visits. This information is stored in your browser using the JavaScript localStorage API.

Analytics

We use PostHog analytics with your explicit consent. When you consent to analytics cookies:

• PostHog can use localStorage and cookies to track your behavior across sessions
• This enables us to understand user journeys and improve our website
• All IP addresses are still anonymized
• All text and personal information is masked in session recordings
• Complies with regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and PECR

When you decline analytics cookies:

• PostHog operates in memory-only mode
• No persistent tracking occurs
• Each visit is treated as a new anonymous session
• No cookies or localStorage are used for analytics

Third-Party Cookies

Our website does not use third-party cookies for advertising or marketing purposes.

Cookies We Use

Local Storage Items

Analytics Cookies (Optional)

When you consent to analytics, PostHog may store additional cookies and localStorage items to enable cross-session tracking. These are only set with your explicit consent and can be disabled through our cookie banner.

4. Your Choices Regarding Cookies

You have full control over optional cookies and tracking:

• Essential cookies and functionality storage cannot be disabled as they are necessary for the site to work
• Analytics cookies are optional and only enabled with your explicit consent via our cookie banner
• You can change your consent preferences by clearing your browser's localStorage and refreshing the page
• You can clear stored preferences and data through your browser's privacy settings
• You can use your browser's privacy or incognito mode to browse without any persistent storage

5. Do We Need a Cookie Banner?

Based on our current implementation:

1. We use essential cookies and local storage that are necessary for site functionality
2. We offer optional analytics cookies that require your explicit consent
3. We provide a cookie consent banner that allows you to choose your preferences
4. Without consent, our analytics operate in memory-only mode with no persistent tracking
5. We do not use any marketing or advertising cookies

We implement a cookie consent system that respects your privacy choices. You can accept or decline optional analytics cookies, and your choice is remembered to avoid repeatedly showing the banner.
