1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide information to site owners, and improve the user experience. Cookies can be "persistent" (remaining on your device until deleted) or "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser).

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies (such as localStorage) for three purposes: essential operations like remembering your cookie choices and keeping you signed in, functional features that remember your preferences, and, only with your consent, analytics that show us how the site is used. Analytics tools never load unless you accept them via the cookie banner.

3. Essential Cookies

These are strictly necessary and cannot be disabled. On this website they include sf_consent, which stores your cookie choices for six months. Inside the sarvaFeed product they also include session cookies that maintain your authenticated state and CSRF tokens that protect against cross-site request forgery.

4. Functional Cookies

Functional storage enables features you actively use. Inside the product, functional cookies remember preferences such as language, timezone, display settings, and dashboard configurations. If you disable these, some features may not function as intended, though the core Service will continue to work.

5. Analytics Cookies

With your consent, we use Google Analytics (cookies _ga and _ga_*, stored for up to 13 months) and PostHog (browser storage prefixed ph_, stored for 12 months) to understand which pages people visit and how the site is used. These tools do not load until you click Accept in the cookie banner, and we do not use them to track you across other websites. Declining or withdrawing consent switches them off and deletes their cookies.

6. Third-Party Cookies

When you purchase a paid plan, our payment processor Stripe sets its own cookies to prevent fraud; these are governed by Stripe's privacy policy. We do not allow advertising networks to place cookies through our website or the Service.

7. Managing Cookies

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of every page. Most browsers also let you refuse or delete cookies through their settings; note that deleting essential cookies may prevent parts of the Service from working.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices. We will post any changes on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
