Overview

Governli uses a small number of cookies and similar browser storage technologies to operate the platform securely and to remember your preferences. This policy explains which categories of cookies we use and the third-party services that may set them on your behalf.

Essential cookies

Essential cookies are required for the platform to function. They are used for authenticated sessions, security tokens (including protection against cross-site request forgery), load balancing and to remember your cookie consent choice. Essential cookies cannot be turned off through the consent banner because the service cannot operate without them.

Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies are only set after you have given analytics consent. They help us understand which pages are used most, how customers move through the assessment flow and where the product can be improved. Analytics data is aggregated and is not used to identify individual visitors.

We use Google Analytics 4 with Google Consent Mode v2. Analytics consent defaults to denied. In that state the Google tag may still load and send a cookieless signal that contains no analytics identifiers and sets no analytics cookies; it exists so the consent state can be communicated to Google. Analytics storage — the cookies that recognise a returning browser — is only enabled after you accept analytics cookies, and your choice is applied immediately. If you decline, no analytics storage is ever created.

Microsoft Clarity (product usage and session insight) is not loaded at all unless you have accepted analytics cookies. Declining means the Clarity script is never executed.

Third-party services

The platform integrates with the following third parties, which may set their own cookies when their functionality is used:

Stripe — payment processing during checkout. Stripe sets cookies required to complete and secure transactions.
Authentication provider — sign-in sessions for admin users. The provider sets short-lived session cookies to keep the user signed in.
Google Analytics 4 — optional, analytics storage only after consent, operated under Google Consent Mode v2 as described above.
Microsoft Clarity — optional, loaded only after analytics consent. Used to understand product usage in aggregate.

Managing your choices

You can accept all categories, reject non-essential cookies or manage individual categories from the cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time by clearing your cookies for governli.com or by using your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Rejecting non-essential cookies will not prevent you from purchasing an assessment or receiving your report.
