1. The short version

The VenturOS marketing site does not use non-essential cookies, advertising pixels, or analytics cookies. We run PostHog in cookieless mode so analytics does not store cookies, localStorage, or sessionStorage identifiers in your browser. Because there is no optional analytics storage choice to make, we do not show a cookie banner.

2. Browser storage we use

We use a small amount of essential or user-requested browser storage so the site can work and remember choices you explicitly make.

• localStorage["theme"] remembers whether you chose light or dark mode.
• localStorage["venturos_waitlisted"] remembers that you joined the waitlist so the page can show the correct confirmation state.
• localStorage["venturos_waitlist_duplicate"] remembers when the waitlist API says your email was already submitted.
• localStorage["venturos_analytics_opt_out"] remembers if you object to cookieless analytics from this browser.
• Authentication session tokens are only set on the application subdomain (app.ventur-os.com) after you sign in. They are not used by this marketing site.

3. Cookieless analytics

We use PostHog, an open-source product analytics tool, with cookieless mode always on. Specifically:

• Provider: PostHog Inc., loaded through ph.dev.ventur-os.com with PostHog EU data residency.
• What analytics stores in your browser: no PostHog cookies, no ph_* localStorage entries, and no PostHog sessionStorage entries.
• What we capture: page views and selected product events, such as pricing and waitlist actions. We strip query strings and URL fragments before analytics is sent, and we do not capture form input contents.
• How users are counted: PostHog generates a daily privacy-preserving server-side hash from project ID, daily salt, IP address, user agent, and hostname. The hash changes daily and is not stored in your browser.
• Disabled features: we do not call identify(), and autocapture, pageleave capture, session replay, surveys, and advertising integrations are disabled.
• Opt-out signals: if your browser sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track, or if you click Object to analytics in the footer, we treat that as an analytics objection and do not initialize PostHog.
• Cross-site tracking: none. PostHog only sees your activity on this site.
• Retention: we keep aggregate analytics indefinitely and event-level analytics for up to 12 months.

4. Why there is no banner

Cookie banners are generally used when a site asks permission for non-essential cookies or similar browser storage. Our analytics setup is configured not to write analytics identifiers to your browser, so there is no analytics cookie preference to accept or reject. We still publish this notice so the analytics processing is transparent.

5. What we do not use

• Advertising or retargeting cookies (no Google Ads, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, X Pixel, etc.).
• Cross-site tracking or persistent browser fingerprinting.
• Social media tracking pixels.
• Any cookie that sells or shares your data with advertisers or data brokers.

6. Managing browser storage

You can object to cookieless analytics at any time from the footer. If you opt out, we stop sending analytics events from this browser; on future page loads we store only that opt-out preference and do not initialize PostHog analytics. You can also clear this site's storage in your browser at any time. Doing so may reset your theme preference, waitlist confirmation state, or analytics objection.

7. Video embeds

Some pages include YouTube videos. We use a locally hosted video poster before playback, click-to-load embeds, and YouTube's no-cookie domain where available. Playing a video may send data to Google/YouTube under their terms.

8. Changes to this policy

If we add non-essential cookies, analytics browser identifiers, session replay, identify(), advertising pixels, or a materially different analytics tool, we will update this page and add consent controls where required.
