Cookie & Tracking Technologies Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Monovalley uses cookies, local storage, and technical performance telemetry to deliver a fast, reliable, and secure browsing experience.

In Plain English: Executive Summary

We believe legal policies should be clear, transparent, and accessible. Here is a high-level overview of what this document establishes:

  • We use essential cookies and browser local storage to maintain session states, remember your theme preference, and track popup dismissals.
  • We utilize Vercel Speed Insights for non-invasive, privacy-preserving performance telemetry to optimize page load speeds.
  • We do NOT use third-party advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, or behavioral profiling pixels.
  • You can control, block, or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings.

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Definitions of browser storage technologies.

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your computer, tablet, or mobile device when you browse online. They allow websites to remember your device, preferences, and session state over time.

Local Storage is an industry-standard browser technology that allows web applications to store data locally within your browser with no expiration date, enabling fast user interface rendering and state persistence (e.g., remembering your dark mode preference).

2. Technologies Monovalley Uses

The specific categories of storage and telemetry active on our site.

Monovalley employs a minimal, privacy-conscious set of web storage technologies:

A. Essential & Functional Storage:

Theme Preference: We store your selected appearance preference (`theme`: "light" or "dark") so the website renders in your preferred aesthetic without flickering upon navigation;

Newsletter Dismissal (`subscribed`): A local storage flag is placed when you subscribe to or close our newsletter notification, preventing repetitive popups during your browsing session;

Administrative Session Tokens: For authenticated administrative users accessing editorial and survey management dashboards.

B. Performance & Speed Telemetry:

Vercel Speed Insights: We measure Core Web Vitals (Largest Contentful Paint, First Input Delay, Cumulative Layout Shift) to monitor real-world site performance and ensure optimal page loading speeds across Scottsdale and mobile networks. This data is technical, privacy-preserving, and non-identifying.

No Advertising or Cross-Site Pixels

Monovalley does not utilize Meta pixels, Google Ads remarketing, or third-party ad networks. We respect your browsing privacy.

3. Managing and Disabling Cookies

How you can manage or delete cookies in your browser.

Most modern web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences. You can configure your browser to reject all cookies, notify you when a cookie is placed, or delete cookies upon closing your browser.

Instructions for popular browsers:

Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data;

Apple Safari: Settings > Safari > Advanced > Block All Cookies;

Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data;

Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.

Please note that if you clear your browser local storage or block essential storage, preferences such as dark mode or newsletter popup dismissals will reset on your next visit.
