1. What this notice covers
This notice explains how RIVRA uses cookies, local storage and similar technologies on madebyrivra.co.uk. Cookies are small text files placed on a device. Local storage is a related browser feature that can remember information on that device.
2. What RIVRA currently uses
The Website Blueprint uses necessary local storage so that answers, choices and progress remain available on the same device and browser. With a visitor's permission, Google Analytics measures how the public website is used and whether the questionnaire is completed. RIVRA does not use advertising or behavioural-targeting cookies.
| Technology | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| RIVRA Website Blueprint local storage | Saves Blueprint answers, copy choices, checklists and progress on the customer's device. | Until the customer clears it using the Blueprint reset option or browser controls. |
| RIVRA analytics preference | Remembers whether a visitor accepted or rejected optional analytics. | Until the visitor changes the preference or clears browser storage. |
| Google Analytics cookies, including _ga and _ga_* | Measures visits, page use and completed website questionnaires so RIVRA can improve the site. These cookies are set only after analytics is accepted. | Google Analytics cookies may remain for up to two years. |
| Hosting and security technologies | May be used where strictly necessary to deliver the website securely, balance traffic and prevent abuse. | Usually for the session or a short security period. |
Images selected for the Website Blueprint preview remain in the active browser session and are not uploaded by RIVRA.
3. Third parties
Google Analytics is provided by Google. When analytics is accepted, Google processes technical and usage information to provide aggregated reports to RIVRA. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Links to services such as Stripe open a separate website. Those services may use their own cookies under their own notices. RIVRA does not control cookies placed after a visitor leaves madebyrivra.co.uk.
4. Your choices
Google Analytics remains off unless you select “Accept analytics”. You can reject it without losing access to the public website or Website Blueprint. Use the “Cookie preferences” button at any time to change your choice.
You can also delete or block cookies and local storage through your browser settings. Doing so may remove saved Website Blueprint progress or prevent requested features from working properly.
5. Updates and questions
This notice will be reviewed when the website, its suppliers or its use of browser storage changes. Questions can be sent to hello@madebyrivra.co.uk.
