Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Lingviko ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and web application.

By using Lingviko, you consent to the use of cookies in accordance with this policy. You can manage your preferences at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help us provide essential functionality, improve performance, and analyze usage. Some cookies are strictly necessary, while others require your consent.

We also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and tracking pixels.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

a) Essential Cookies (always active, no consent required)

These cookies are necessary for the operation of Lingviko. Without them, the service cannot function.

• Clerk – authentication, login sessions
• Algolia – search functionality (queries, request identifiers)

b) Functional Cookies

These improve usability but are not strictly required.

• Contact Form – storing form state and validation data
• UTM Tracking (if enabled) – remembering campaign/source parameters for signup attribution

c) Analytics Cookies (require consent)

Used to understand how users interact with Lingviko so we can improve our product.

• Amplitude – product analytics (events, usage patterns)
• PostHog – product analytics and optional session recordings
• Google Analytics – website analytics (traffic, engagement, device info)

d) Marketing Cookies (require consent)

Used to deliver and measure ads.

• Facebook Pixel – tracks interactions with our website to measure ad effectiveness and build audiences

3. Managing Cookie Preferences

On your first visit, you are presented with a cookie banner that allows you to:

• Accept all cookies
• Reject all cookies (except essential)
• Manage preferences by category

You can change your preferences at any time by clicking Cookie Settings in the footer of the landing page or web app.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party providers acting on our behalf (e.g., Google, Meta, Algolia, Amplitude, PostHog). These providers may also process your data outside the UK/EU.

We ensure appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses and participation in the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where applicable.

5. Cookie Retention

• Session cookies expire when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or are deleted manually.

Retention depends on the provider:

• Clerk (session) → until logout/browser close
• Algolia (functional identifiers) → short-term, limited to search requests
• Analytics providers → typically 12–24 months
• Marketing cookies (Facebook Pixel) → up to 24 months

6. How to Control Cookies

In addition to our cookie settings, you can:

• Change browser settings to block or delete cookies.
• Use browser add-ons (e.g., Google Analytics opt-out plugin).
• Reject marketing cookies directly from providers (Google, Meta).

Please note: blocking essential cookies may prevent Lingviko from working properly.

7. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, services, or legal requirements. Updates will be posted here with a new "Last Updated" date.
