Summary: We Set No Cookies of Our Own
student-insurance.com sets no cookies of its own for analytics, marketing, advertising, or session management. Your theme preference (light/dark) is stored in your browser's localStorage, which is not a cookie and is never sent to our servers.
The only third-party service that may store cookies is the Mediavine Grow audience-engagement widget (see the section below). Where consent is required, it is handled by Mediavine's own Consent Management Platform.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website (or a third-party service embedded on it) stores on your device when you visit. We do not set cookies ourselves; the only cookies that may be set come from the Mediavine Grow widget described below.
Local Storage (Not a Cookie)
We use the browser's built-in localStorage for one feature only:
| Key | Purpose | Storage |
|---|---|---|
| theme | Stores your preferred color scheme (light/dark) | localStorage (not a cookie) |
localStorage entries are kept locally in your browser and are never transmitted to our servers. You can clear them at any time via your browser's developer tools or by clearing site data.
Analytics — Cookieless
We use Plausible Analytics, Umami, and PostHog for website analytics. All three tools are configured in cookieless and anonymized mode — they do not set any cookies, do not store IP addresses, and do not collect personally identifiable information.
Additionally, we use Cloudflare Zaraz for server-side tag management. Event data is forwarded to Google Analytics 4 server-side. No client-side cookies are set; only IP-based country detection is performed at the edge.
Since no analytics cookies are set, no cookie consent is required for analytics under the ePrivacy Directive or GDPR.
Mediavine Grow
We use Mediavine Grow (the "Grow" / "Faves" widget) by Mediavine, Inc. (USA) to provide audience-engagement features (such as saving and bookmarking articles) and to support our content. When the Grow script loads or you interact with it, it may set first-party cookies and local storage entries on your device, generate a device or visitor identifier, and process usage data. If you sign in to the Faves feature, Mediavine also processes your account data (e.g. email address).
Where consent is required (for example in the EU/EEA), it is collected through Mediavine's own Consent Management Platform (CMP), which Mediavine displays to visitors in regulated regions. You can also block or delete these cookies and local storage at any time via your browser settings (see below). More information: Mediavine Privacy Policy.
Marketing Cookies
We do not set any marketing, advertising, or tracking cookies ourselves. Cookies that may be set by the Mediavine Grow widget — and, in the future, by Mediavine ads — are subject to consent via Mediavine's CMP as described above.
How to Clear localStorage
If you ever want to reset your theme preference or other local data, you can clear browser site data:
