Cookies policy
Effective 20 August 2026. Biovexity, Cochrane, Alberta, Canada.
The short version
This site sets no cookies at all unless you accept them. There are no advertising cookies and no tracking across other websites. If you accept, Google Analytics sets a small number of cookies so we can see how the page is used.
What a cookie is
A small file a website asks your browser to store, so that something can be remembered between page views. Related technologies — local storage in particular — do the same job, and this policy covers those too.
What we set, and when
Nothing loads before you choose. Analytics are switched off by default, and the banner you saw on arrival is what turns them on. Decline, and no analytics cookies are ever written.
Always set
| Name | Type | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
bvx-consent |
Local storage | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so you are not asked again on every visit. Contains one word and nothing else. | Until you clear your browser storage |
This one is strictly necessary — without it we cannot honour your choice — and it is written only once you have made that choice.
Set only if you accept
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga |
Google Analytics | Distinguishes one visitor from another so visits can be counted. | 2 years |
_ga_<id> |
Google Analytics | Keeps session state for this specific property. | 2 years |
We use Google Analytics 4 with consent mode, and IP addresses are anonymised. We use it to answer questions like which sections people read and how many visitors join the waitlist. We do not use Google Analytics for advertising, remarketing or audience sharing, and advertising storage is switched off.
What we do not do
- No advertising or remarketing cookies.
- No social media tracking pixels.
- No cross-site tracking, and no selling of any data collected here.
- No fonts or scripts loaded from third-party servers — everything the page needs is served from our own domain, which means fewer companies see that you visited at all.
Changing your mind
Clear this site's cookies and local storage in your browser settings and reload the page — the banner will appear again and you can choose differently. You can also block or delete cookies entirely through your browser; this site works normally without them.
Where the data goes
Analytics data collected with your consent is processed by Google, including on servers outside Canada. See the privacy policy for how we handle information generally.
Changes
If we add or remove anything that sets a cookie, this page and its effective date will be updated before the change goes live.
