What cookies we use on scalewiseva.com, why we use them, and how to control them.
Effective Date: 25 September 2026 | Company: ScaleWiseVA LLC | Contact: hello@scalewiseva.com
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for the site to work. Others, like analytics cookies, are optional, and where the law requires it we ask before setting them.
This page lists every cookie scalewiseva.com sets, checked against the live site on 25 September 2026.
Two small cookies the site needs to work properly. One remembers your answer to the analytics question. The other makes sure that something you have just submitted, such as a booking or a message, shows up straight away. Neither tracks you and neither is shared with anyone.
We use Google Analytics to see which pages people find useful and how they arrive. It sets its own cookies.
If you are in the UK, the European Union, the rest of the EEA or Switzerland, Google Analytics does not load, and sets nothing, until you choose "Accept analytics" in the banner. If you choose "Decline", it never loads. Declining is as easy as accepting, and nothing on the site depends on your answer.
Everywhere else, Google Analytics loads when the page does. You can still turn it off below.
None. We do not run advertising pixels on this site.
| Cookie / Service | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| swva_consent | Essential | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so we do not ask on every page. | 1 year |
| swva_d1 | Essential | A marker that makes sure pages you load straight after submitting a form include what you just sent. | 12 hours |
| _ga, _ga_XZZBGFJJ9F | Analytics | Google Analytics 4. Tells one visit from another so we can count visitors and see which pages they read. Only set after you accept, in the regions listed above. | Up to 13 months |
| Booking | None | Booking a call happens on this site at /book and sets no cookie at all. | Not applicable |
| Academy and team sign-in | Essential | If you sign in to ScaleWise VA Academy, a sign-in cookie keeps you signed in there. Our own team has sign-in cookies for its internal tools. Visitors who do not sign in never receive either. | Until you sign out |
The site also keeps three small notes in your browser's own storage rather than in cookies: your light or dark theme, whether you have closed the checklist popup (so it does not come back for 90 days), and, for the length of your visit, whether your region is asked about analytics. None of these leave your browser.
Our fonts are served from our own site, so loading a page does not contact Google Fonts.
You can change your analytics answer at any time:
This clears your saved answer and shows the choice again. You can also delete cookies or block them in your browser settings:
Google also offers a browser add-on that stops Google Analytics on every site.
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activities tracked. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. At this time, our website does not alter its behavior in response to DNT signals, but we respect your right to control your privacy through browser settings as described above.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time as our services change or as we add new third-party tools. We will update the effective date at the top of this page when changes are made. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies.
