Cookies on CloudGenius (cloudgenius.com)

This Privacy Policy also covers cloudgenius.com, a Straughn AI platform. CloudGenius asks for your consent before setting any non-essential cookies. Until you make a choice, the site sets no cookies and sends no data to Google.

• cg_consent — a strictly necessary first-party cookie that remembers your consent choice for up to 180 days. It contains no personal information.
• _ga and _ga_* (Google Analytics) — set only if you choose "Accept all" or enable analytics in the preferences panel. These help us understand, in aggregate, how visitors use the site.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the CloudGenius footer. Withdrawing analytics consent removes the Google Analytics cookies from your browser.
