Table of Contents
This page lists every cookie and similar technology Sightova uses, explains why we use it, and lets you change or withdraw your consent at any time. Your choice is stored in this browser only and never sent to advertisers.

Switch categories on or off below and save. Necessary cookies cannot be disabled because the site does not work without them.

How We Use Cookies
Sightova groups cookies into four categories. Only the first is active without your consent.
- Necessary: Necessary cookies help make a website usable by enabling basic functions like page navigation, secure sign-in and access to protected areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
- Preferences: Preference cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way the website behaves or looks, like your preferred layout or the region that you are in.
- Statistics: Statistic cookies help website owners understand how visitors interact with websites by collecting and reporting information anonymously.
- Marketing: Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers.
Images are never stored in cookies
Cookies only hold identifiers and settings. Images you upload for detection are processed and deleted as described in our Privacy Policy.

Marketing cookies are used to track visitors across websites. The intention is to display ads that are relevant and engaging for the individual user and thereby more valuable for publishers and third-party advertisers.
Sightova does not currently set any marketing cookies. We do not sell or share your personal information for advertising.
Legal Basis & Consent
Strictly necessary cookies are processed under GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) (legitimate interest in providing a secure, working service) and are exempt from the consent requirement of the ePrivacy Directive Art. 5(3).
All other categories are processed only with your consent under GDPR Art. 6(1)(a). We follow these principles:
- Prior consent: nothing optional loads before you decide.
- No pre-ticked boxes: every optional category starts switched off.
- Equal choice: denying is exactly as easy as accepting.
- Granular: you choose per purpose, not all-or-nothing.
- Evidenced: each decision gets a consent ID, timestamp and policy version stored in your browser.
- Time-limited: consent expires after 365 days, or sooner if this declaration changes, and we ask again.
- Revocable: withdraw at any time from this page or the “Cookie settings” link in the footer.
Browser Controls
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser. Note that blocking necessary cookies will sign you out and may stop parts of Sightova from working.
We honour the Global Privacy Control signal. If your browser sends it, statistics and marketing remain off unless you explicitly enable them.
Third-Party Services
Sightova does not embed third-party analytics, advertising or social media scripts on this website today. Two providers may set cookies on their own domains when you interact with them:
- Stripe — when you start a subscription you are redirected to Stripe Checkout. Cookies Stripe sets there are governed by Stripe's privacy policy.
- Google — if you choose “Sign in with Google”, Google handles the login on its own domain under Google's privacy policy.
If we add third-party tags in the future they will be listed in the declaration above, assigned to a category, and blocked until you allow that category.
Changes to This Policy
We update this page whenever the cookies we use change. Each revision carries a version identifier (currently 2026-09-14). When the version changes, your previous decision is no longer applied and the banner asks for your consent again.
