What we use
Cookies and similar technologies such as browser storage are small pieces of data saved on your device. We use them in two ways: essential storage that makes the site work as you’d expect, and analytics that only runs if you accept it.
Essential storage
These items never leave your device and are not used to track you. They don’t need consent.

|---|---|---|---|
grivo-consent | Local storage | Remembers your cookie choice | Until you clear it |
grivo-theme | Local storage | Remembers light or dark mode | Until you clear it |
grivo-greeted | Session storage | Shows the chat bubble greeting only once per visit | Until you close the tab |
Analytics
If you accept, we use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand which pages are useful, how visitors find us and where pages are hard to use. The data is never used for advertising. If you decline, neither tool is loaded.
