1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember your actions and preferences (sign-in state, language, font size, other display settings) so you do not have to re-enter them on every visit.
This Cookie Policy explains which cookies NegotiateWind ("we", "us", "our") uses on https://negotiatewind.com and how you can control them. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
2. Categories of cookies we use
Strictly necessary cookies. Required for the website to function. They keep you signed in, remember your form state, and protect against common security issues. The site does not work without them. No consent is required for these.
Preference cookies. Remember choices you make (language, region, light/dark theme) so the experience stays consistent between visits.
Analytics cookies. Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can make it better. They tell us which pages are popular, how people arrived at the site, and which features get used. The data is aggregated, not tied to your identity.
Marketing cookies. We do not use marketing or advertising cookies on this website.
3. Specific cookies and third parties
Google Analytics 4 (GA4). We use Google Analytics to understand site traffic and content performance. Google may set cookies named _ga, _gid, and _ga_* with a typical lifespan of up to two years. See Google's policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights. We use Vercel's privacy-friendly analytics to measure performance (load times, Core Web Vitals) and aggregate visit data. Vercel does not use cookies for personal tracking. See: https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
Session cookies for forms. When you submit a contact, demo or job application form, a short-lived session cookie may be set for spam protection (rate-limiting). It expires within minutes.
4. How long cookies stay on your device
Session cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser.
Persistent cookies stay until they expire or you delete them. Analytics cookies typically expire after 13 months to 2 years.
5. How to control or delete cookies
Most browsers let you accept, refuse or delete cookies through their settings:
(a) Google Chrome
(b) Mozilla Firefox
(c) Safari
(d) Microsoft Edge
You can also opt out of Google Analytics specifically by installing the official Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Note: blocking all cookies may break parts of the site, especially sign-in and form submission.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal. We honour this signal where reasonably possible and do not set analytics cookies when it is active.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as the site evolves or when laws change. The "Effective date" at the top of this page reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
