Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They enable site functionality, security, and analytics, and they remember your preferences so you don't have to re-enter them on every page. We also use a few equivalent technologies (e.g., HTML5 local storage, web beacons, and pixels). For simplicity, we refer to all of them as “cookies.”
| Category | Purpose | Examples | Default Lifespan* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Enable core site features such as page navigation, network load balancing, and security. These cookies cannot be switched off in our systems. | Session ID, authentication token, Cloudflare security cookie | Session only |
| Performance / Analytics | Help us understand how visitors use the site so we can improve performance and user experience. Data is aggregated and never used to identify you individually. | PostHog _ph_ cookie (page views, click paths), internal event counters | 1 day – 24 months |
| Functional | Remember your choices (e.g., language, cookie-banner dismissal) to provide enhanced features. | cookie_consent, saved timezone | 6–12 months |
| Advertising / Targeting | Not used. We do not run third-party ads or track you across other sites. | — | — |
*Exact lifespans may vary slightly as we refine analytics settings. We periodically review and minimize retention.
You can block, delete, or manage cookies at any time using your web-browser settings. All modern browsers let you disable cookies entirely or remove individual cookies for specific sites. Refer to the help pages for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or your preferred browser for step-by-step instructions.
We also honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal as an opt-out from analytics cookies.
All cookies we currently use are first-party cookies set by the alephic.com domain. If we ever integrate third-party tools that set their own cookies (for example, embedding a video host), we will update this notice and obtain consent where required.
No. We do not share or sell cookie data with advertisers, data brokers, or social-media networks for cross-site tracking. Aggregated analytics may be used internally to improve site performance and to compile usage statistics for our SOC 2 reports.
We review this notice at least annually and whenever we introduce new cookies or technologies. The “Last Updated” date above will change when material updates are made. We encourage you to check back periodically.
