Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, mobile device, or tablet when you visit a website. They are widely used by modern web platforms to make sites work properly, enhance security, remember user preferences, and provide aggregated reporting data to site operators.

In addition to traditional browser cookies, websites may use local web storage (`localStorage` and `sessionStorage`) or lightweight tracking pixels. In this policy, we refer to all such technologies collectively as "cookies."

2. Cookie Categories We Use

Ivoro classifies cookies into four distinct functional categories based on their role and operational necessity:

3. Essential & Security Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary to enable core site functionality and security protections. Without these cookies, basic features of our Next.js application cannot function reliably.

4. Analytics & Performance Cookies (GA4 & Clarity)

We utilize analytics integrations to gather anonymized performance metrics and understand how visitors interact with our technical content. These tools help us identify slow page loads and improve navigation structure.

Analytics integrations are integrated using **Google Consent Mode v2** architecture and are executed only when you grant analytics consent:

• Google Analytics 4 (`_ga`, `_ga_*`): Collects anonymized page view statistics, session counts, and engagement metrics without storing raw IP addresses.
• Microsoft Clarity (`_clck`, `_clsk`): Provides visual heatmap analysis and session replays to diagnose usability friction points on desktop and mobile viewports.

5. Marketing & Attribution Cookies (Future Integrations)

In the future, Ivoro may utilize conversion tracking tags (such as Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, or LinkedIn Insight Tag) to measure the effectiveness of enterprise marketing campaigns and target relevant software engineering communications.

These tags are disabled by default. If enabled, they allow third-party platforms to recognize when a user visits our site from an external partner link.

6. Preference & Functional Cookies

Preference cookies allow our website to remember choices you make while browsing (such as dark mode preferences, interactive section filters, or localized view settings) to provide a tailored user experience.

7. Managing Your Preferences On Ivoro

You retain total control over your cookie preferences on Ivoro. You may change your consent choices, enable optional telemetry, or revoke consent at any time directly through our interactive consent panel.

8. Browser-Level Cookie Controls

In addition to our on-site consent controls, most modern web browsers allow you to block, manage, or delete cookies directly through their settings panel:

• Google Chrome: Settings ➔ Privacy and security ➔ Third-party cookies.
• Apple Safari: Preferences ➔ Privacy ➔ Manage Website Data.
• Mozilla Firefox: Options ➔ Privacy & Security ➔ Cookies and Site Data.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings ➔ Cookies and site permissions ➔ Manage and delete cookies.

Note: Blocking essential cookies at the browser level may impact your ability to navigate certain dynamic features of our website.
