What we store on your device when you visit caphive.com, why we store it, what third parties can see, and how to change your mind.
Last updated — August 16, 2026
Pending legal review. The inventory on this page reflects the site as built and has been verified against our own code, but this text has not yet been reviewed or approved by counsel.
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. When you return, the browser sends the file back, so the site can recognise the session and remember state. Cookies set by the site you are visiting are called first-party cookies. Cookies set by another domain whose content is loaded on the page are called third-party cookies.
Cookies are described by how long they last. A session cookie is deleted when you close the browser. A persistent cookie stays until it expires or you delete it.
This policy also covers similar technologies that do comparable things: local storage and session storage in your browser, pixels and tracking images in web pages or emails, software development kits, and device or browser fingerprinting. Where we say "cookies" below, we mean all of these. One of the entries in our inventory is a local storage item rather than a cookie, and it is marked as such.
caphive.com is a marketing website, and it uses very few cookies. There are exactly two, both belonging to Google Analytics, and neither is set unless you accept them. We use them:
We also record your accept-or-decline choice itself, so we do not ask again on every page. That record is kept in your browser's local storage rather than in a cookie.
We do not use advertising or marketing cookies on this website, we do not use it to build profiles of individual investors, and we do not sell the data cookies produce. If you decline, no analytics cookie is written at all. How we handle the personal data behind these cookies, and the legal bases we rely on, is set out in our Privacy Policy.
We group cookies into four categories. Two of the four are not used on this website at all.
Required for the site to function and to be kept secure, including recording your cookie choices. These cannot be switched off through a consent banner. On caphive.com this category contains a single local storage item and no cookies — the public pages are static files, so nothing needs a server-side session.
Remember choices you have made, so the site behaves the way you left it. Not used on caphive.com. The signed-in application does use preference cookies, listed in 3.6 below.
Help us understand how the site is used, in aggregate. We set these only with your consent. Until you accept, our analytics provider runs in a restricted mode in which it stores nothing on your device and reports only anonymous, aggregate page counts that cannot be linked into a session or back to you.
Measure campaign reach and allow advertising partners to show you content elsewhere. We set no marketing cookies, and we run no advertising tags or conversion pixels on this site. These signals are switched off permanently in our analytics configuration rather than left to your choice, so there is nothing here for you to decline.
This is the complete list for the public website. Both cookies are first-party, set on the caphive.com domain by Google Analytics 4 on our behalf.
| Name | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes one visitor from another so usage can be counted in aggregate. Only written after you accept. | Analytics | 2 years |
_ga_JR4ZT29M06 | Keeps the Google Analytics session state for our property, so a visit is not counted repeatedly as you move between pages. Only written after you accept. | Analytics | 2 years |
caphive.consent.v1local storage, not a cookie | Records whether you accepted or declined analytics, so the banner is not shown again. Set whichever way you answer. | Strictly necessary | Until you clear your browser storage |
There is no load-balancer cookie, no session cookie and no separate cross-site-request-forgery token on this site. The public pages are served as static files, so no server-side session is created for anonymous visitors.
One exception is worth naming for completeness: if you are signed in to the CapHive application, its session cookie is scoped to the whole caphive.com domain, so your browser will also send it with requests to these public pages. The website never sets or reads it, and signing out clears it.
The signed-in application is a separate system with its own inventory. It runs no analytics, error-tracking, session-replay or marketing cookies of any kind. It does use preference cookies to remember how you have set up your own views, which is why it is not accurate to describe it as strictly-necessary-only.
| Name | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
_caphive_session | Authenticates you and keeps you signed in. Also carries the token that protects form submissions against cross-site request forgery. | Strictly necessary | 60 minutes |
session_token | Ties the browser to one active sign-in, so a session cannot be used from two places at once. | Strictly necessary | Session |
remember_user_token | Keeps you signed in between visits. Written only if you tick "remember me", and cleared when you sign out. | Strictly necessary | Until sign-out or expiry |
currency_units | Remembers the currency units you last chose to view figures in. | Preferences | Persistent |
adminSettings | Remembers your table layout — column order, widths and which columns you have hidden. | Preferences | Persistent |
owner_type | Remembers the last filter you selected on a board view. | Preferences | Persistent |
The strictly necessary cookies above are set on our legitimate interest in operating a secure, authenticated service; the preference cookies are set as a result of a choice you make in the product itself, and clearing them simply returns those views to their defaults.
Some content on this site is served by other organisations. When your browser loads that content, the provider can see technical information about your request — your IP address, the page you were on, your browser and device, and the time — and can set its own cookies.
We keep this list deliberately short. There are two, both Google, and no others:
We do not run a content delivery network, an advertising platform, a chat widget, a video embed or a social tracking pixel on this site. There are no iframes on any page.
We do not control Google's cookies and cannot read them. Google uses the data under its own privacy policy and may combine it with data it holds from other sites. Google offers a browser add-on that opts you out of Google Analytics across all websites.
The first time you visit, a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. Nothing non-essential is written before you answer, and declining is exactly as easy as accepting — the two buttons sit side by side and neither is pre-selected.
You can change your answer whenever you like: select Cookie settings in the footer of any page and the banner will reopen. Choosing "decline" after having accepted stops any further analytics cookie from being written; to remove cookies already stored, clear them in your browser as described below.
Because there is only one non-essential category on this site, the choice is a single accept-or-decline rather than a per-category panel. If we ever add another category, we will ask again with granular controls.
Your browser lets you see the cookies stored for a site, delete them, block cookies from particular sites, block all third-party cookies, or clear everything when you close the browser. The settings are usually under Privacy or Security. Vendor instructions are available for Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge in each browser's own help pages.
Two points to keep in mind. Blocking storage for this site may break parts of the signed-in application, which needs its session cookie to keep you authenticated. And because your cookie choice is itself remembered in your browser's storage, clearing everything also clears that choice, and you will be asked again on your next visit.
You can also use your browser's private or incognito mode, which discards cookies when the window closes.
Where the law requires consent for a cookie, we ask for it before that cookie is set, and you can withdraw it at any time using the Cookie settings link described in 5.1. Strictly necessary items are not covered by that choice. If you cannot find a way to change your choices, write to hello@caphive.com and we will action your request.
Some browsers can send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is no agreed industry standard for how a website should respond to it, so, like most websites, we do not currently change our behaviour in response to a DNT header. We will say so here if that changes.
Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a more recent signal that expresses an opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal data. Our position:
Whatever signal your browser sends, you can always control cookies directly using section 5.
We will update this page when the cookies we use change, when a new third party is added, or when the law changes. The date at the top shows when it was last revised. Where a change means we need consent we do not already have, we will ask again before setting the cookie — the consent banner is versioned, so a material change re-prompts everyone rather than relying on a choice made against an older policy. Material changes take effect 14 days after publication.
