Cookie & Storage · Updated October 2026

What we store,
and what we don't.

Most cookie policies pad a thin reality into a long page. Ours is a literal inventory: four small items in browser storage, plus two Google Analytics cookies only if you accept. None of them advertising trackers. Below, in plain language.
01

What we actually store

Until you click Accept on the cookie banner, the marketing site (this one) sets no HTTP cookies. What it does use is browser localStorage and sessionStorage — we treat them the same as cookies here. Here's the inventory:

  • cookie-consent — remembers whether you accepted or declined the cookie banner so we don't ask again every page. Required for the banner to behave.
  • chai-session-id — links your messages to Atlas (the on-site assistant) into a single conversation thread. Only set if you start chatting.
  • atlas-voice — your voice-on/voice-off preference for Atlas. Off by default.
  • ch_preloader_shown — sessionStorage flag so the loading animation only plays once per browser session.

Only if you click Accept — Google Analytics sets two first-party cookies:

  • _ga — a random ID that tells repeat visits apart from new ones. Expires after 2 years.
  • _ga_RFE2N8F5E3 — keeps the current visit (session) together. Expires after 2 years.

That's the whole list. Open browser DevTools → Application → Storage and you can see it for yourself.

02

What we don't use

No advertising trackers. No Facebook Pixel, no Google Ads tag, no LinkedIn Insight Tag, no TikTok Pixel.

No analytics that profile you across sites. Google Analytics is the only third-party analytics tool, it runs only with your consent, and we keep Google signals and ad personalisation switched off — so it isn't used for advertising or to follow you to other sites. Without consent, the page-view counts come from our own first-party, cookieless logs.

No browser fingerprinting. No cross-site identifiers.

03

Google Analytics

If you click Accept, we use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages get read and how visitors move through the site. It loads from googletagmanager.com and sends data to google-analytics.com. Decline, and it never loads.

What Google receives: pages you view, the site that referred you, device and browser type, screen size, and an approximate location (city level). Google Analytics 4 derives the location from your IP address and does not store the IP address itself.

Who: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, processing on our behalf; data may also be processed by Google LLC in the United States, which is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

Legal basis and retention: your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time — see below. Analytics data is kept for up to 14 months, then deleted.

04

Third-party embeds

A few page elements load resources from external services. Those services may set their own cookies on the connection you make to them — we have no control over those:

  • Spline (3D scenes) — embedded on the home hero, CTA, /contact, and the 404 page. Loaded from prod.spline.design.
  • Timeweb S3 (images) — case-study covers, gallery, and other media are served from our object-storage bucket.
  • Google Fonts — typography is loaded via Next.js's self-hosted font pipeline, so the fonts are served from this domain. No Google connection at view time.

Open the Network tab in DevTools to see every third-party domain the site contacts.

05

Admin app (admin.connectivehub.pro)

The admin app — used by the team to manage case studies and articles — uses an authentication cookie set by NextAuth. It's strictly necessary for signed-in users; without it, the admin app can't function.

This cookie isn't set on the marketing site, only on the admin subdomain. Visiting connectivehub.pro never receives it.

06

How to opt out

Click Decline on the cookie banner — non-essential storage stays off and Google Analytics never loads.

Your current choice: …. — this deletes the analytics cookies and shows the banner again.

Clearing site data for connectivehub.pro in your browser settings does the same: the banner returns and you can choose again.

Browser-level: most browsers let you block all storage from a domain in their site-settings panel. Firefox and Brave block third-party trackers by default — both work fine with this site.

07

Changes to this policy

If we add a new storage item or a third-party embed, we update this page and bump the "Updated" date at the top. The inventory above is meant to stay accurate — if you ever spot something we set that isn't listed, email us and we'll fix either the code or the list.
