Cookie Policy - Savvy Butler

This page lists the cookies and other browser storage that Savvy Butler sets, what each one is for, and how long it lasts. It covers our own website and the signed-in application. Cookies fall into three categories: Essential (always on), Analytics and Marketing (both optional, both off until you switch them on). You can change your choices at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer.

1. Cookies we set

Name	Category	Purpose	Duration
sb-*-auth-token	Essential	Keeps you signed in to your Savvy Butler account. Set only after you sign in, and cleared when you sign out.	For the lifetime of your session; refreshed automatically while you stay signed in
sb_consent	Essential	Remembers your cookie choices (Analytics and Marketing, each on or off), so you are not asked again on every visit.	365 days
sb_vid	Analytics	A random identifier that lets us tell returning visitors from new ones and see which pages lead to a sign-up. Set ONLY while Analytics is switched on, and removed when you switch it off. Contains no personal data and cannot be read by page scripts.	Up to 390 days (HttpOnly)
sb_internal	Essential	Marks a browser as belonging to the Savvy Butler team so our own visits are excluded from analytics. Only ever set deliberately by us.	365 days
sb_company_ctx	Essential	For cleaning-company users who belong to more than one company: remembers which company portal you are working in. Not set for other users.	30 days (HttpOnly)

Essential cookies do not require consent: without them you cannot stay signed in, we cannot keep your account secure, and we cannot remember the cookie choices you made. Analytics and Marketing are used only with your consent, each chosen separately.

2. Your choices

Only essentials — Analytics and Marketing stay off. No analytics or marketing script is loaded, nothing is stored on your device for them, and we record no visit data, not even anonymous counts. The site remains fully usable.
Analytics — first-party measurement of how our website and product are used, and page-performance measurement. We never store your IP address and never share this data with advertisers.
Marketing — advertising and conversion-measurement tools (for example Meta Pixel, Google Ads, TikTok Pixel or LinkedIn Insight Tag), used to measure our advertising and to show our ads to people who visited us. We do not currently use any of them. If we add one, it will run only for visitors who switched Marketing on, and it will be listed on this page.
Accept all switches both on. Customize lets you choose each one. Switching a category off later stops it for future visits and removes our analytics cookie.

3. Other browser storage

The signed-in application also uses your browser's local and session storage for convenience. These are not cookies, are never sent to our servers, and are not used for tracking or advertising.

Unsent work in progress — Cleaning and inspection drafts are kept on your device so a lost connection or a closed tab does not lose what you have entered.
Interface preferences — Small choices such as whether a helper panel is minimised, or whether you have already seen a one-off tip.
Setup progress markers — Remembers which one-time setup steps you have already completed, so they are not shown again.

4. Third-party services

Vercel Analytics (Vercel Inc.) — Aggregate page-view measurement for our own site. Loaded only while Analytics is switched on.
Vercel Speed Insights (Vercel Inc.) — Measures real-world page performance so we can find and fix slow pages. Loaded only while Analytics is switched on.

We do not currently use advertising networks, cross-site tracking, or social media tracking pixels. Any we add in future belongs to the Marketing category and will not run without your consent.

5. Managing cookies

Use the Cookie settings link in the footer to change your Analytics and Marketing choices at any time; withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. You can also clear or block cookies in your browser settings, though blocking essential cookies will prevent you from signing in.
