Cookie Policy

Effective date: January 1, 2026  ·  Last updated: January 1, 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences, session state, and certain usage information across page loads. Cookies do not execute code and cannot access other files on your device.

2. Cookies We Use

We keep our cookie footprint minimal. Below is every category we use and the specific purpose behind each.

Strictly Necessary

Always active

Required for the service to function. Cannot be disabled.

  • session_id — Maintains your active session while composing or viewing a secure note.
  • csrf_token — Prevents cross-site request forgery attacks.
  • consent_prefs — Stores your cookie consent choice so we don't ask on every visit.

Analytics

Optional

Help us understand how visitors use privnofe.com so we can improve performance and usability. All data is aggregated and anonymised — no note content is ever collected.

  • _ga, _ga_* — Google Analytics 4. Tracks page views, session duration, and feature interactions in aggregate.
  • _plausible — Plausible Analytics (privacy-first, no cross-site tracking).

Marketing

Optional

We run limited advertising to reach people who may benefit from secure messaging. Marketing cookies help measure ad performance. We do not build personal profiles or sell data.

  • _gcl_au — Google Ads conversion tracking (aggregated conversion counts only).

3. Why We Use Cookies

  • To operate core security features such as CSRF protection and session authentication.
  • To remember your consent preferences so we respect your choices on return visits.
  • To measure aggregate, anonymised traffic patterns and improve the product.
  • To attribute sign-ups to advertising campaigns at an aggregate level — never tied to note content.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use. These providers have their own privacy policies and are independently responsible for the data they collect:

5. How to Manage or Disable Cookies

You have full control over optional cookies. There are three ways to manage them:

  1. 01.Cookie banner — When you first visit privnofe.com, a consent banner lets you accept or decline optional cookie categories. You can update your choice at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the site footer.
  2. 02.Browser settings — All major browsers allow you to block or delete cookies via their privacy/settings menu. Note: disabling strictly necessary cookies will break core site functionality.
  3. 03.Opt-out tools — For Google's advertising cookies, visit adssettings.google.com. For Google Analytics specifically, the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on is available at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

6. Your Consent

When you first visit privnofe.com, we display a cookie consent banner. Strictly necessary cookies are activated immediately — they are essential to provide the service. Optional cookies (analytics, marketing) are only set after you explicitly accept them. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we introduce new features or third-party integrations. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on the site and/or email to registered users.
