Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how TelVox uses cookies and similar technologies on telvox.dev, what each one is for, and how you can manage your choices. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What these technologies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. “Similar technologies” include browser storage mechanisms such as localStorage, which lets a site remember information on your own device between visits. Both can be essential (needed for the site to work and to honour your preferences) or non-essential (used for analytics, personalisation or advertising). Today, TelVox uses essential, locally-stored preferences, cookieless analytics that counts page views, and Google Analytics cookies only if you accept them.

What we use

We keep this deliberately minimal. Unless you accept analytics cookies, the only data TelVoxstores on your device is held in your browser’s localStorage, and it never leaves your device as a tracking identifier:

• Theme preference. Remembers whether you chose the light or dark theme so the site looks the way you left it.
• Cookie-consent choice.Remembers the decision you made in our on-site consent banner so we don’t ask you again on every visit.

If you choose “Accept all” in our banner, we also load Google Analytics, which sets cookies (described below). We do not use personalisation or advertising cookies.

Cookie categories

For clarity, here is how the standard categories map to what we actually run today. We list them all so this policy stays accurate if our use ever changes.

Essential: always on

Strictly necessary to provide the site and to honour the choices you make. This covers your theme preference and your cookie-consent choice, both stored locally as described above. Because these are essential, they cannot be switched off from within the site, but you can still clear them using your browser controls.

Analytics

Vercel Web Analytics (always on, no cookies). We use it to count page views and see which pages are used, so we can improve the site. It does not set cookies or store anything on your device, does not follow you across other websites, and reports visits in aggregate rather than building a profile of you. Your consent choice does not change it, because it stores nothing on your device. If you would rather not be counted, a content blocker will stop it.

Google Analytics (only if you accept).If you choose “Accept all”, we load Google Analytics, provided by Google LLC, to understand how visitors find the site and move through it. It sets first-party cookies named _ga and _ga_<ID>, which keep a random identifier for up to two years so repeat visits can be recognised. Google processes this data, which may include transfer to the United States. We do not link it to advertising or use it to show you ads. If you choose “Essential only”, Google Analytics is never loaded.

Marketing: none currently

Marketing or advertising technologies would be used to measure campaigns or show tailored ads. We do not use any today, and we do not sell personal data. If this ever changes, it will be opt-in and reflected here and in the consent banner.

Managing your choices

You stay in control in two ways:

• Our consent banner. You can accept or decline Google Analytics in the on-site consent banner, and change your mind at any time: reopen the cookie banner. If you withdraw, we stop Google Analytics straight away and remove its cookies. Your decision is the cookie-consent preference stored locally on your device.
• Your browser. You can view, block and delete cookies and clear local storage through your browser settings. Clearing this data will reset your theme and consent preferences, and the site may ask you to set them again. Note that blocking essential storage may affect how the site behaves.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the technologies we use or in the law. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date above. If we begin using any non-essential technology, we will ask for your consent before doing so.
