Cookie Policy

What this page covers

This page describes how cookies are used on securityoverview.com. It applies only to this marketing website. It does not cover cookies set by tools used inside specific client engagements; those are governed by your contract with us.

Cookies we currently use

Two categories of cookies and matching browser storage may be set on this site:

PostHog (product analytics)

Set only after you click Accept on the cookie banner. PostHog tells us which pages get used and which don't. Cookie names begin with ph_ and matching localStorage entries store your session ID and other PostHog state. Cookies expire after one year; localStorage entries persist until you clear them. When you decline, the main tracking entries are cleared and a small opt-out marker (a localStorage key ending in _opt_out) is kept so PostHog remembers your choice on future visits.

Consent decision (strictly necessary, post-decision)

A first-party cookie named so_consent and a matching localStorage entry named so-consent record your accept-or-decline choice so the banner doesn't reappear on every page load. The cookie expires after one year; the localStorage entry persists until you clear it. No analytics data, no third party.

Beyond these, the site may set strictly necessary cookies required for security and basic operation of the site. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent under GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, or similar regulations.

Cookies we do not use

We do not use:

• Other analytics or product-tracking cookies (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude)
• Advertising or retargeting cookies (Meta Pixel, Google Ads, LinkedIn Insight Tag)
• Social media or embed tracking cookies

Changing your preferences

You can change your decision at any time. The "Manage cookies" link at the bottom of every page reopens the consent banner. Decline at any point and PostHog stops capturing immediately and its cookies are cleared on the next interaction.

If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, the banner adapts: analytics defaults to off, and the buttons read "Keep DNT respected" and "Allow on this site." You can override your browser's signal for this site only by clicking allow, or leave it respected. We never override the signal silently.

Controlling cookies in your browser

You can block or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers also offer a private or incognito mode that does not retain cookies between sessions. Blocking cookies on this site mostly means your consent decision won't be remembered, so the cookie banner will reappear on every visit.
