Cookie Policy | NovaStorm AI

Version/effective date: 2026-09-15 / 15 September 2026

Cookies and similar browser storage support site security, analytics, marketing measurement and your preferences. Marketing measurement is off until you explicitly enable it. Continuing to browse or closing the notice does not grant Meta consent. The site retains its existing Analytics setting; previously saved rejections and browser privacy signals remain respected. You can change either optional category at any time without losing access to the website or application. The current site does not offer a dormant Functional category.

Choices and withdrawal

Optional Meta measurement notice — version 2026-10-16

The notice offers Accept optional, Reject optional and Settings. Cookie Settings remains available in the footer with separate Analytics and Marketing controls. Google Analytics, Hotjar and Clarity follow Analytics; Clarity ad storage remains denied. Meta follows the separate explicit Marketing choice shared across all four NovaStorm sites. Browser privacy signals keep optional tracking off. Withdrawing disables future collection, clears known first-party optional artifacts and reloads the page. Server events are checked against current consent before delivery.

Hotjar documents item-level names and durations in its cookie list. Microsoft describes Clarity cookies in its cookie list and its data practices in the Microsoft Privacy Statement. Google describes Analytics cookies in its privacy documentation, and Meta describes its technologies in its Cookie Policy. Browser and vendor behaviour can change; we version this Policy after a material vendor or purpose change. Contact privacy@novastorm.ai.
