Cookie Policy
This page lists every cookie and similar storage item deepvariance.com and the Warden app use, why, and for how long. Google Analytics runs only if you accept it.
Strictly necessary
These are needed for the site or app to work, or to remember a choice you made. They do not track you and do not need consent.
| Name | Type | Where | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| dv-consent | Local storage | deepvariance.com | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics | 12 months, then the banner asks again |
| dv-theme | Local storage | deepvariance.com | Remembers light or dark mode, if you pick one | Until you clear it |
| aw_session | Cookie (HttpOnly, Secure) | warden.deepvariance.com | Keeps you signed in to Warden | 30 days, removed on sign out |
| agentwatch.machine | Local storage | warden.deepvariance.com | Remembers which linked machine you are viewing | Until you clear it |
| warden-theme | Local storage | warden.deepvariance.com | Remembers light or dark mode in the app | Until you clear it |
| agentwatch-v1 | Service worker cache | warden.deepvariance.com | Stores the app shell so it loads quickly; never your data | Until the app updates or you clear it |
Google Analytics, only if you accept
Advertising storage stays denied even if you accept. The Warden app itself uses no analytics.
We also use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device, so it is not listed above and does not need your consent.
| Name | Type | Where | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Cookie (Google Analytics) | deepvariance.com | Distinguishes returning visitors from new ones | 13 months |
| _ga_* | Cookie (Google Analytics) | deepvariance.com | Keeps session state for analytics | 13 months |
Your choices
On your first visit, the banner lets you accept all, reject all, or manage your choice by category. Rejecting changes nothing about how the site works. You can change your mind at any time with Cookie settings in the footer; if you withdraw consent, we stop analytics and delete its cookies. Clearing your browser data also resets your choice.
Third parties
Google Analytics is the only third party that sets cookies on deepvariance.com, and only after you accept. Google describes its processing at policies.google.com/privacy. When you subscribe to Warden, Stripe's checkout and billing pages set their own cookies on stripe.com under Stripe's cookie policy.
What we do not use
No advertising cookies, no cross-site tracking, no fingerprinting and no session replay.
Changes
If anything is added to the lists above, this page is updated first, and the banner asks again where the law requires it.
