Cookie Policy

Renn Labs LLC d/b/a Vantage (“Vantage,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies on our website at govantage.ai (the “Site”). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and the choices you have regarding their use.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the owners of the site.

There are two broad categories of cookies:

• Session Cookies: These are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They allow the website to recognize you as you navigate between pages during a single browser session and allow you to use the website most efficiently.
• Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a set period of time specified in the cookie or until you delete them manually. They allow the website to remember your preferences and actions across multiple visits.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for the following purposes:

• Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the Site to function properly. They enable core functionality such as user authentication, session management, and security. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Site, such as which pages are visited most often and whether visitors receive error messages. This information is aggregated and used to improve how our Site works.
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (such as your preferred language or the region you are in) and provide enhanced, more personalized features.
• Targeting and Advertising Cookies: These cookies are used to deliver content and advertisements more relevant to you and your interests. They may also be used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement and to help measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

In addition to the categories described above, cookies can also be classified by their origin:

• Session Cookies: These are deleted automatically when you close your browser. They are essential for maintaining your session state as you navigate through the Site.
• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. They help us recognize you on return visits and remember your preferences.
• First-Party Cookies: These are set directly by Vantage (govantage.ai) and are used for authentication, session management, and storing user preferences.
• Third-Party Cookies: These are set by third-party services that appear on our pages, such as analytics providers. We do not control these cookies. Please refer to the respective third-party's privacy policy for more information.

4. Specific Cookies We Use

The following table describes the specific cookies used on our Site:

• _ga (Google Analytics) — Used to distinguish unique users by assigning a randomly generated number as a client identifier. This cookie is included in each page request and is used to calculate visitor, session, and campaign data for site analytics reports. Expiration: 2 years.
• _gid (Google Analytics) — Used to distinguish users and store information about how visitors use the Site. This cookie is used to aggregate statistical data on site usage. Expiration: 24 hours.
• Authentication Tokens (Vantage) — Used to securely identify authenticated users and maintain login sessions. These are essential cookies required for the Site to function for logged-in users. These tokens are stored as secure, HTTP-only cookies and are based on JSON Web Tokens (JWT). Expiration: varies based on session type.

5. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies on our Site:

• Web Beacons: Small graphic images (also known as “pixel tags” or “clear GIFs”) that may be included on our Site and emails to help us understand how users interact with our content and whether an email has been opened or a web page has been visited.
• Local Storage: We may use browser local storage and session storage to store user preferences, interface settings, and other data needed to provide a seamless experience. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to the server with every request.

6. Your Choices Regarding Cookies

You have several options for managing cookies:

• Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain cookies, or delete cookies that have already been set. Please note that if you choose to block or delete cookies, some features of the Site may not function properly.
• Google Analytics Opt-Out: You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on, which prevents Google Analytics JavaScript from sharing information with Google Analytics about visit activity.

Please be aware that disabling or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of our Site. Essential cookies cannot be opted out of, as they are strictly necessary for the Site to operate.

7. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a “Do Not Track” (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. Because there is no universally accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals, our Site does not currently respond to DNT browser signals or headers. We will continue to monitor developments around DNT browser technology and the implementation of a standard.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, our business operations, or any other reason we determine is necessary or appropriate. When we make changes, we will revise the “Effective Date” at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

9. More Information

For more information about how we collect, use, and protect your personal data, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
