Cookie Policy

This policy explains what cookies ShieldAgent uses, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences. We keep our cookie footprint minimal: strictly necessary cookies only by default, with analytics and preference cookies set only after you give explicit consent.

What are cookies?

What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognise your device on subsequent visits and remember state such as whether you are logged in.

We use first-party cookies only — cookies set by shieldagent.io and app.shieldagent.io — on the domains we operate. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies. The ShieldAgent dashboard (app.shieldagent.io) itself is not a “website” under PECR / the ePrivacy Directive in the same sense as the marketing site; strictly necessary cookies there are exempt from the consent requirement.

Strictly necessary cookies

Strictly necessary cookies

No consent required — necessary for the service to function

These cookies are essential for the ShieldAgent dashboard and marketing site to operate. They enable core functions such as session management, authentication, and CSRF protection. You cannot opt out of strictly necessary cookies; doing so would break the service.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies

Consent required

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our marketing site so we can improve the experience. We use a privacy-first analytics approach: no cross-site tracking, no fingerprinting, and data is aggregated before any individual-level analysis. These cookies are only set with your consent.

Preferences cookies

Preferences cookies

Consent required

Preference cookies remember choices you have made — such as language selection — so you do not need to re-configure them on each visit. These cookies do not track you across sites.

sa_langStores your selected language preference (e.g. "en" or "es").365 daysshieldagent.io
sa_cookie_consentRecords your cookie consent choices so we do not show the consent banner on every page load.365 daysshieldagent.io

Managing cookies

How to manage your cookie preferences

Consent banner

When you first visit shieldagent.io, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or decline analytics and preference cookies. You can revisit your choice at any time — look for the cookie icon in the site footer, or clear the sa_cookie_consent cookie in your browser to reset the banner.

Browser settings

All major browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent the ShieldAgent dashboard from functioning. Blocking analytics or preference cookies has no impact on core functionality.

Do Not Track

We respect the Do Not Track (DNT) browser signal. When DNT is enabled, we do not set analytics cookies regardless of your consent-banner choice. Strictly necessary cookies are not affected by DNT.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove cookies. Material changes will be notified via the consent banner on your next visit or by email for registered users. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
