Effective: July 11, 2026 · Covers the Grove waiting-list website only.
Honest summary: this site sets no advertising cookies, no cross-site trackers, and currently no analytics at all. It stores five small items in your browser so the page works. That's the list — and here it is:
1. What we store
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| grove_lang | localStorage | Remembers your language choice (English/Spanish) | Until you clear it |
| grove_theme | localStorage | Remembers whether you chose light or dark mode | Until you clear it |
| grove_consent | localStorage | Records your cookie choice so we don't ask on every visit | Until you clear it, or until the policy version changes |
| grove_ref | localStorage | Remembers the invite code you arrived with, so your friend gets credit if you join | Until you clear it |
| grove_waitlist | localStorage | Remembers your own invite link and progress so you see them when you return | Until you clear it |
All five are "strictly necessary / functional" storage: they exist so the page can do what you asked it to do. None of them identify you to anyone else or follow you to other sites.
2. Analytics — off by default, and currently none
The cookie banner offers an "Accept all" option. Full disclosure: today, accepting it enables nothing extra, because we haven't added any analytics. If we ever do, it will load only for visitors who opted in, this page will be updated first, and the banner version will change so you're asked again.
3. Our hosting platform
This site is served by Vercel, which in our configuration sets no cookies to serve these pages. If that ever changes (for example, a platform feature we turn on), this page gets updated first.
4. Managing your choices
- Reopen the banner anytime via Cookie settings in the footer.
- Clear the stored items through your browser's site-data settings — the site keeps working; you'll just be asked your language and cookie choice again, and your saved invite link will no longer appear automatically (it still works — check your clipboard history or ask us).
