Cookie Policy

Elvetica Strategy, LLC
Last Updated: Feb 1, 2026

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device (computer, phone, tablet) when you visit. They help websites remember information about your visit, like your preferences and login status.

Cookies make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the website owner. They're standard technology used across the internet.

Types of Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use similar technologies:

  • Pixels (web beacons): Tiny images that track whether you've opened an email or viewed a page
  • Local storage: Data stored directly in your browser for faster website performance
  • Session storage: Temporary data that expires when you close your browser

Throughout this policy, we use "cookies" to refer to all these technologies.

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

  1. Make the Website work properly: Enable core functionality like form submissions and navigation
  2. Understand how you use the Website: Track which pages are most useful and where people spend time
  3. Improve your experience: Remember your preferences and provide personalized content
  4. Communicate effectively: Track engagement with our marketing materials and workshops
  5. Measure what's working: Analyze traffic sources and conversion rates to improve our services

We don't use cookies to track your activity across other websites or build detailed profiles for advertising purposes.

Types of Cookies We Use

1. Essential Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are necessary for the Website to function. You can't disable them.

What they do:

  • Enable basic website features like page navigation and access to secure areas
  • Remember form inputs so you don't lose data if the page refreshes
  • Provide security and prevent fraud
  • Load balance traffic across servers

Example use: When you submit a contact form, essential cookies ensure your submission is processed correctly.

Can you opt out? No. Without these cookies, the Website won't work properly.

2. Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve it.

What they do:

  • Count visits and track traffic sources
  • Measure which pages are most popular
  • Identify navigation patterns and bottlenecks
  • Track time spent on pages
  • Detect technical errors or broken links

Example use: We see that 70% of visitors read our framework articles before booking discovery calls, so we invest more in creating educational content.

Can you opt out? Yes. See How to Manage Cookies below.

Do these cookies track you across other websites? No. Analytics cookies on our site only track your activity on elvetica.co.

3. Marketing Cookies

These cookies track engagement with our marketing efforts and enable personalized experiences.

What they do:

  • Track which marketing channels bring you to our site (email, LinkedIn, Google)
  • Remember if you've downloaded a lead magnet or registered for a workshop
  • Identify returning visitors vs. first-time visitors
  • Measure conversion rates for calls-to-action
  • Enable email personalization (e.g., not showing the same lead magnet twice)

Example use: If you download our "Operational Framework Template," we won't show you that same offer again—instead, we'll recommend related resources.

Can you opt out? Yes. See How to Manage Cookies below.

Do we sell this data? No. We never sell your data to third parties.

4. Functional Cookies

These cookies enhance your experience with personalized features. (Currently not in use but planned for future features like chat widgets.)

What they do:

  • Remember your preferences (e.g., timezone, notification settings)
  • Enable chat functionality and live support
  • Provide interactive features like calculators or tools
  • Auto-fill information you've previously entered

Example use: If we launch a chat widget, functional cookies will remember your chat history so you don't have to repeat yourself.

Can you opt out? Yes, but disabling these cookies may limit certain features.
