Introduction
This policy describes what the Site stores in your browser and how you control your consent.
A cookie is a small file deposited by a website when you visit it. Other technologies, such as your browser's local storage (localStorage), serve a similar purpose without being cookies in the strict sense. We group them together here under the term "trackers".
The consent banner
On first visit, a banner appears at the bottom of the page without covering the content. It offers two choices: "Accept all" or "Essentials only". Your choice is recorded and the banner does not reappear on every visit.
You can review your choice at any time through the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer, which redisplays the banner.
What is stored
nv-consent key (local storage, localStorage): records your choice ("accepted" or "essential"). This is a technical datum kept only in your browser: it is neither read by Novalyse nor shared with any third party, and you can delete it by clearing your browsing data. Duration: until manually deleted, no automatic expiry.
Plausible (audience measurement, cookie-free): loaded only if you chose "Accept all". By default Plausible sets no cookies; your page views are recorded in Plausible's server logs and your IP address is truncated. Server-side retention: depending on the configuration of the instance used.
Strictly necessary cookies: none are used in the current version of the Site. This line is kept for information should a future change require it; cookies essential to the Site's functioning would then be used without prior consent.
Plausible, in detail
Plausible is a lightweight traffic analytics tool that works without cookies by default: it sets no identifier in your browser and truncates the IP address of recorded visits.
The script is injected only if you chose "Accept all". If you choose "Essentials only", no audience measurement takes place on the Site.
We prefer a Plausible instance hosted within the European Union; where Plausible's cloud is used, a data processing agreement (DPA) is signed. The events measured are limited to what is strictly necessary (for example contact form submissions).
Calendly
A link to Calendly may appear on the Site to make scheduling easier. In the current version it is a simple outbound link: no data is sent to Calendly until you click it and use its interface. If an iframe integration were ever enabled, it would be loaded after interaction and mentioned in this policy.
Changing your choice
The "Cookie preferences" link in the footer redisplays the consent banner; you can then change your option or withdraw your consent.
You can also delete the nv-consent key by clearing the browsing data (localStorage) associated with novalyse.io in your browser: the banner will then reappear on your next visit.
