Cookie Policy

1. Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how Advanta Legal Tech (“Advanta”, “we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on advanta.tech. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains more broadly how we collect and use personal data.

We have designed our cookie architecture to be minimal and privacy-conscious. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or any form of cross-site behavioural profiling. The only optional cookies we deploy are analytics cookies that help us understand how the website is used in aggregate — and these only activate after you give explicit consent. We additionally use a cookieless, privacy-preserving analytics layer (Vercel) that sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device.

2. What Cookies Are

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as your language preference or your consent choices — so you do not have to re-enter it each time.

Not all data storage on websites involves traditional cookies. We also use browser localStorage in limited, functional contexts (for example, to remember your diagnostic progress or UI state). This policy covers all such client-side storage mechanisms.

3. Cookie Categories We Use

We use two categories of cookies. A third “Advertising” category appears in some consent frameworks — we do not use advertising cookies and that category is always disabled on this website.

4. Cookies Set on This Website

The following table lists all cookies that may be set when you visit advanta.tech, together with their category, purpose, and retention period.

Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*) are only set after you accept analytics cookies. If you decline, they are not set and your session is not tracked.

5. How We Manage Consent

Consent is managed by our own first-party consent banner — there is no third-party consent platform involved. When you first visit advanta.tech, the banner clearly explains what analytics cookies we use and gives you an equal, explicit choice to accept or decline. No analytics cookies are set until you actively choose to accept.

Your preference is saved in a first-party advanta-consent cookie and respected on every subsequent visit. The banner is built on Google Consent Mode v2, so when you decline analytics cookies, the signal is immediately passed to Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics — ensuring no analytics cookies are set and no identifiable tracking occurs, even for that session.

You can review or change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking Cookie Preferences in the footer of any page on this website.

6. Browser-Level Cookie Controls

In addition to our consent management platform, most browsers allow you to manage cookies directly through their settings. You can typically:

• View all cookies stored on your device and delete individual cookies

• Block cookies from specific websites

• Block third-party cookies across all sites

• Delete all cookies automatically when you close your browser

• Set your browser to notify you before a cookie is placed

Browser help pages for managing cookies:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

Note that blocking all cookies may affect the functionality of advanta.tech and other websites you use.

7. Third-Party Services and Data Processors

The following table discloses all third-party services used in connection with advanta.tech, whether or not they set client-side cookies. Where a service is a data processor — receiving data generated by your visit (such as your IP address for infrastructure routing) — we include it here for full transparency.

8. Google Consent Mode v2

We implement Google's Consent Mode v2 framework, which is Google's mechanism for ensuring that GA4 and Google Tag Manager respect user consent choices in a technically reliable way.

Before any scripts load, we set conservative default consent signals that block all analytics and advertising data collection:

• analytics_storage — denied (default). GA4 analytics measurement — granted only after you accept analytics cookies.

• ad_storage — denied (always). Advertising cookie storage — always denied; Advanta does not run ad campaigns.

• ad_user_data — denied (always). Ad personalisation data — always denied.

• ad_personalization — denied (always). Remarketing signals — always denied.

• functionality_storage — granted. Storage required for core website features such as remembering your consent choice.

• security_storage — granted. Storage required for security and fraud prevention features.

Our consent banner updates these signals in real time when you make a consent choice, and an inline initialisation script restores your saved preference automatically on return visits — before any analytics scripts load.

9. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. We respect your privacy choices through our first-party consent banner (described above), which provides a more reliable and granular mechanism than DNT. Because DNT lacks a standardised technical specification, we do not alter our data collection practices based on DNT signals alone.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes to the cookies we use, to our service providers, or to applicable privacy law. Material changes will be indicated by an updated “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy on an occasional basis. Continued use of advanta.tech after a policy update does not constitute waiver of your rights under applicable data protection law.
