Cookies and Local Storage

Short, because there is little to say: this website sets no cookies and runs no analytics.

Most cookie policies are long because the site has a lot to declare. This one is short for the opposite reason.

oakhive.ai sets no cookies at all. No analytics, no advertising pixels, no session cookies, no third-party scripts of any kind. One item is stored locally in your browser — whether you chose the light or the dark theme — and it never leaves your device.

1The short version

  • No cookies are set. Not first-party, not third-party.
  • No analytics. We do not know how many people read this page.
  • No advertising or marketing pixels, and no remarketing tags.
  • No third-party scripts. Fonts and images are served from our own domain.
  • No fingerprinting, and no cross-site tracking of any kind.
  • One local storage entry, for your theme preference. Described below.

2What is stored in your browser

NameTypeWhat it holdsHow longSent to us?
oakhive-themeLocal storage — not a cookieThe word “light” or “dark”, recording which theme you picked with the toggle in the navigation bar.Until you clear your browser storageNo. Local storage is never transmitted with a request. It is read by the page in your own browser and stays there.

It exists so the site does not flash the wrong background at you on your next visit. If you never touch the toggle, nothing is stored at all, and the page follows your operating system’s own light or dark setting.

3Why there is no cookie banner

Under the ePrivacy rules, consent is required before storing or accessing information on someone’s device — unless the storage is strictly necessary to provide a service the user asked for, or is a user preference the user set themselves.

The theme setting is the second kind: you chose it, it exists only to honour that choice, and it identifies nothing about you. There is nothing else stored, and nothing at all that tracks you.

A consent banner here would ask you to permit something we do not do. We would rather not train people to click through a dialogue that has no content, and we would rather earn the claim on this page than assert it above a banner.

4What reaches our infrastructure anyway

Serving a page cannot happen without your device talking to a server. That involves your IP address and basic request information — the page requested, the time, your browser’s user agent string — reaching the provider that hosts the site.

That is used to deliver the page and to protect the site from attack. It is short-lived, it is not used to build a profile, and it is not combined with anything else to identify you. The provider is named in the Privacy Policy, section 5.

5The product, as distinct from this site

This page is about the public website. The OakHive product is a different surface, and it is honest to say so rather than let a claim about the marketing site be read as covering everything.

  • The customer portal and the interview interface authenticate you against your employer’s Microsoft Entra ID. That sign-in holds a session in your browser’s session storage, which is cleared when you close the tab. It is strictly necessary to keep you signed in.
  • Those surfaces set no analytics or advertising cookies either.
  • What the product does with personal data is described in the Interview Privacy Notice and the Data Processing Agreement.

6Clearing it

Clear it whenever you like: it is under site data or local storage in your browser’s settings, for oakhive.ai. Nothing on the site breaks without it — the page simply goes back to following your system theme.

Blocking storage for this site entirely also works. The theme toggle will still function for the current visit; it just will not remember.

7If this ever changes

If we ever add analytics or anything else that stores information on your device beyond what is described here, we will implement proper consent first — a real choice, made before anything is set, with declining as easy as accepting — and this page will describe it before it goes live rather than after.
