Cookie Policy

Last updated: August 1, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and local storage technologies davidio.dev ("the Site") uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. Our goal is to store only what is needed, and nothing more.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. The Site also uses browser local storage, a similar technology that stores small amounts of data on your device. This policy refers to both as "cookies".

2. Cookies We Use

The Site uses cookies in three categories. You can accept or decline the non-essential categories at any time:

  • Necessary (always active): theme preference, language preference, cookie consent choice, and the admin authentication session. These cookies are required for the Site to function and remember your choices.
  • Analytics (optional): anonymous usage statistics to help understand how the Site is used and improve it. Disabled by default.
  • AI assistant (optional): enables the AI chat widget. Messages are sent to a third-party AI provider (Groq, Inc.) for processing. Disabled by default.

3. Storage Locations and Names

Preference and consent choices are stored in your browser local storage under keys prefixed "davidio-". The admin authentication session is stored in an HttpOnly cookie named "davidio_admin".

No advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or cross-site trackers are used by the Site itself.

4. Managing Your Choices

On your first visit you will see a consent banner. You may:

You can change your choices at any time by opening the cookie settings panel (link available in the Site footer), or by clearing your browser data. The AI chat assistant only activates after you explicitly enable it.

  • Accept all cookies.
  • Accept only necessary cookies.
  • Customize your choice for analytics and the AI assistant.

5. Browser Controls

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies, and to block local storage. Note that blocking necessary cookies may break theme, language, or consent features, and disabling the AI assistant or analytics is fully supported at any time.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects the latest revision.
