Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains what is stored in your browser when you use thefalcon.dev (the "Site") and how you can control it. It supplements the Privacy Policy at thefalcon.dev/legal/privacy.

What cookies and local storage are

Cookies are small text files a website places in your browser. Local storage is a similar browser feature for storing small values. Both can be strictly necessary (required for the site to work as you asked) or optional (such as analytics, which require your consent).

Strictly necessary storage

These items are required for the Site to function and do not need consent. None of them contain personal identifiers, and none leave your device.

theme (localStorage) — remembers your light or dark theme preference. Kept until you clear your browser data.

splash_seen (sessionStorage) — remembers that you have already seen the intro splash animation in this browser session so it does not replay on every page. Cleared automatically when the browser session ends.

talent_popup_seen (localStorage) — remembers that the hiring popup has already been shown so it is not shown repeatedly. Kept until you clear your browser data.

flcn-consent-v1 (localStorage) — records your cookie-consent choice and when you made it, so you are not asked again on every visit. Kept until you clear your browser data or change your choice.

Analytics storage (requires your consent)

With your consent, Google Tag Manager loads Google Analytics 4, which sets cookies such as:

_ga — distinguishes visitors. Expires after 2 years.

_ga_(container id) — keeps session state for this Site's Analytics property. Expires after 2 years.

These cookies are set by Google LLC. Details: policies.google.com/technologies/cookies.

How consent works on this Site

The Site uses Google Consent Mode v2. By default, all analytics and advertising storage is set to "denied": no analytics cookies are set and no identifiers are collected. If you click Accept in the consent banner, consent is updated to "granted" and the cookies above are enabled. Advertising-related signals (ad storage, ad user data, ad personalisation) are never enabled, regardless of your choice. If you click Decline or ignore the banner, consent stays denied; Google may still receive basic, cookieless pings that contain no identifiers and are not used to profile you.

Changing your mind

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking "Cookie settings" in the Site footer, which reopens the consent banner. Withdrawing consent stops analytics cookies from that point on; existing cookies can be deleted through your browser settings, which also let you block cookies entirely.
