Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 30, 2026 · Effective: April 30, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Olova ("we", "us", "Olova") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and dashboard. It works alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to store information about your visit — like login state, preferences, and analytics about how you use the site. They make the modern web work and let us keep you logged in across pages.
2. Cookies we use
We group our cookies into four categories:
Strictly Necessary
Required for the site to function. You can't disable these — without them you can't log in or use the dashboard.
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| next-auth.session-token | Keeps you logged in | 30 days |
| next-auth.csrf-token | Prevents cross-site request forgery | Session |
| olova-cookie-consent | Remembers your cookie preferences | 1 year |
Functional
Remember your preferences (theme, language, sidebar state) so you don't have to set them each visit.
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| theme | Light/dark mode preference | 1 year |
| sidebar-collapsed | Sidebar collapsed state | 1 year |
Analytics
Help us understand which features get used so we can improve. Opt out below.
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| _ga, _gid | Google Analytics — page views, session length | 2 years / 24 hours |
| olova-analytics-id | Anonymous user identifier for our internal analytics | 1 year |
Marketing
Set by ad partners when we run paid campaigns. Disabled by default; only used if you arrived via an ad.
| Cookie | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|
| _fbp | Facebook Pixel — measures ad campaign effectiveness | 90 days |
| gcl_au | Google Ads conversion tracking | 90 days |
3. Third-party services
Some cookies are set by services we embed on the site:
- Stripe / Paystack — payment processing (security cookies during checkout)
- Google Analytics — site usage analytics (anonymized)
- Cloudflare — DDoS protection & CDN
- Live chat widget — chat history within a session
Each third party has its own cookie policy. We don't share your AI prompts or generations with any of them.
4. Managing cookies
You can control cookies in three ways:
- The cookie banner — when you first visit, you can accept all, reject non-essentials, or pick categories.
- Your browser — every browser lets you block or delete cookies. Note: blocking strictly-necessary cookies will break login.
- Per-feature opt-outs — visit Settings → Privacy to toggle analytics and marketing cookies.
5. Do Not Track (DNT)
We honor browser DNT signals. If your browser sends DNT, we automatically disable analytics and marketing cookies for your session.
6. Updates to this policy
We'll update this page if our cookie usage changes. If the change is material (e.g. new tracking partner), we'll notify you in-app and re-prompt the consent banner.
