Summary

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. For our broader privacy practices, see our Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work more efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners. We may also use similar technologies such as local storage, pixel tags, and SDKs in our applications.

Categories we use

Strictly necessary

These cookies are essential for the website and services to function (e.g., authentication, security, load balancing). They cannot be disabled if you wish to use our services.

Analytics

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our site and product (e.g., page views, feature usage). This helps us improve our services. These cookies are optional and can be disabled via our cookie preferences.

Functional

Functional cookies support features such as language, region, and preference storage. They are optional and can be disabled via our cookie preferences.

Advertising

If we use advertising or marketing cookies (e.g., for retargeting or measurement), they will be optional and can be disabled via our cookie preferences. We do not currently use advertising cookies on our main marketing site by default.

Why Ergova uses cookies

We use cookies to: (1) keep you signed in and secure, (2) remember your choices (e.g., consent, language), (3) understand how our product is used so we can improve it, and (4) where you have consented, support advertising or marketing activities. We do not use cookies to track you across third-party sites for advertising without your consent.

How you can manage preferences

When you first visit our website, you can choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage preferences (e.g., enable only analytics or functional). You can change your mind at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the footer. Your preferences are stored and respected on subsequent visits until you clear them or we update our consent version.

Browser controls

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via their settings. Blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of our website and services. For more information, see your browser's help section (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

Third-party tools

Placeholder

We may use third-party services that set their own cookies (e.g., analytics, support widgets). The list of such tools may change. For a current list of subprocessors and service providers, see our Subprocessors page. (TODO: Founder to maintain a short list of third-party cookies if needed.)
