Cookie Policy
This page lists every cookie and browser-storage entry used on novasoft.ge: who sets it, what it is for, how long it is kept and which category it belongs to. The list comes from a check of the live site on 4 October 2026.
01What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Some entries are kept in the browser's local storage (localStorage) instead; this policy covers both. A cookie is "first party" when novasoft.ge sets it and "third party" when another service, such as Google, sets it.
02How we ask for consent
- On your first visit a banner appears with three equal buttons: "Accept all", "Reject all" and "Customize".
- Until you choose, only strictly necessary cookies are used. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics do not load, and the Google Maps map is replaced by a notice.
- For Google services we use Google Consent Mode v2: analytics_storage starts as "denied" and changes only with your choice. We do not use advertising, so ad_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization always stay "denied".
- We store your choice in the nv_consent cookie for 6 months, together with the policy version. When the policy changes, the banner appears again.
- You can change your choice or withdraw consent at any time with "Cookie settings" at the bottom of every page. When you withdraw analytics consent, we delete the analytics cookies.

04Third-party resources without cookies
Fonts are hosted on novasoft.ge itself. The site loads style and script files from cdn.tailwindcss.com and cdnjs.cloudflare.com, the article image slider from cdn.jsdelivr.net and a few illustrations from images.unsplash.com. These do not set cookies, but when your browser downloads the files it sends your IP address to those services. External links (WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) load nothing until you click them.
05Managing cookies in your browser
You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge: "Privacy and security"). If you block strictly necessary cookies, some parts of the site may not work. Google also offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics.
06Changes
When we add or remove a cookie, we update this list and the version shown at the top. The cookie banner then appears again so you can choose under the new rules.
