Cookies policy

Cookies on knowa.co. Minimal and straightforward.

This page explains every cookie the knowa.co marketing site sets, why it is set, and how long it lives. We use cookies to remember your choices, plus cookieless page analytics you can turn off. We do not use advertising cookies.

Last updated: 11 October 2026

01What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that websites place on your device to remember information between visits, such as whether you are signed in, which region of a site you prefer, or which cookies you have accepted.

Similar technologies (local storage, session storage, and IndexedDB) behave like cookies for privacy purposes. Where this policy says "cookies" it covers those technologies too.

02How we use cookies and analytics

The marketing website uses cookies to remember your region and privacy preferences. It does not use advertising cookies or optional analytics cookies.

We use Vercel Web Analytics for aggregate page-view statistics, such as pages visited, referral sources, country, browser and device type. It does not set analytics cookies. Vercel describes its visitor identifier as a request-derived hash discarded after 24 hours. See Vercel's analytics privacy documentation.

You can turn this measurement off in Privacy settings. With it off, this site does not load the analytics script. Normal hosting and security processing still takes place when a page is requested.

03The cookies we set

Complete list as of the date at the top of this page:

These are the only cookies the marketing site sets today. We do not currently load any third-party scripts that would set cookies on our behalf.

04Third-party services

This marketing website does not embed advertising networks, tag managers, social-media tracking pixels, live chat or heatmap tools. Fonts, stylesheets, images and scripts are served from this website's domain.

Vercel hosts the website and processes requests to deliver pages and, when enabled, analytics. Booking links open external services such as Calendly or Microsoft Bookings; their own privacy and cookie notices apply when you follow those links.

05Cookies in the Knowa product

This policy covers the marketing site at knowa.co only. The Knowa product (the signed-in application typically served from app.knowa.co or a customer-specific subdomain) uses additional strictly necessary cookies for authentication, session management, CSRF protection, and preferences. Those cookies are covered by the in-product cookie notice and are documented in the customer Data Processing Addendum (DPA).

If you are evaluating Knowa for your organisation and need the full in-product cookie list for your own cookies or privacy notice, email privacy@knowa.co and we will send it.

06Manage your preferences

Use Privacy settings to turn cookieless page analytics on or off. The same link is available in every page's footer. Saving a change reloads the page so it can take effect immediately.

Your choice is remembered for 365 days. You can also view, block or delete cookies in your browser. Clearing the preference cookie restores the default analytics setting. The UK and US region links let you change your region at any time.
