Cookie and browser-storage policy

Effective September 6, 2026. Gov Influence stores an analytics choice in the browser and loads optional Google Analytics only after consent when the service is configured.

Reviewed Sep 9, 2026

Storage observed in the application

govinfluence.analytics-consent
Provider: Gov Influence, in browser localStorage. Purpose: remember granted or denied optional-analytics choice. Classification: preference storage. Duration: no fixed code expiry; it remains until changed through the control or cleared in the browser.

Optional GA4 storage

The Google tag is not requested until analytics is configured and the visitor chooses Allow analytics. Advertising storage, ad personalization, and ad user data are denied by the site, and Google Signals and advertising-personalization signals are disabled in the tag configuration. Google Analytics may create browser identifiers after consent under Google's terms.

Kit, analyst, and hosting

Gov Influence does not create a Kit-specific or analyst-specific browser cookie. A configured Kit form posts to Kit only after submission; Kit may apply its own storage while processing the request. The analyst uses server requests and page state. Vercel and security services may use storage needed to operate and protect the site under their terms.

Changing or withdrawing the choice

Use Cookie preferences to choose Allow analytics or Decline. Declining updates future consent in the current browser. The current control does not delete identifiers that GA4 may already have created, so use browser controls to remove existing cookies or site data. Clearing localStorage also removes the saved choice and may cause the prompt to appear again.

Questions about storage

Service-provider behavior can change, and browser settings can affect what is stored. Contact Gov Influence if the observed behavior differs from this description.
