Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Constituent ("we", "us", "our"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how and why we use cookies, specifically Google Analytics cookies—when you visit our site.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device to help websites recognize you and remember information about your visit. They improve your browsing experience but can also be used to track how you use a site.

3. Cookies we use

We only use analytics cookies to understand how our site is used and to improve your experience. In particular, we use Google Analytics, which sets the following cookies by default:

• _ga
  • Purpose: Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated client ID.
  • Expiry: 2 years.
• _gid
  • Purpose: Distinguishes users.
  • Expiry: 24 hours.
• _gat/*ga*<container-id>
  • Purpose: Throttles request rate.
  • Expiry: 1 minute.

3.1 What data is collected?

Google Analytics collects anonymous information such as:

• Pages you visit and how long you stay
• Referring site or search terms
• Approximate geographic location (city-level)
• Device and browser type

We do not collect your name, email address, or other personally identifying information through Google Analytics.

3.2 IP anonymization

To further protect your privacy, we enable IP anonymization in Google Analytics. Your full IP address is never written to disk; instead it's truncated shortly after collection.

4. Consent and control

On your first visit, you will see a banner asking you to "Allow" or "Decline" analytics cookies.

• Allow: We set the analytics cookies listed above, and Google Analytics will load.
• Decline: No analytics cookies are set, and Google Analytics will not load.

Your choice is stored in a cookie that expires after one year. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time by clicking Manage cookie preferences in our footer.
