Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how ATHENA GENEALOGY CONSULTANCIES - FZCO ("Athena Genealogy," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website athena-genealogy.com (the "Site").
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Cookies can be "session" cookies (which expire when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (which remain on your device for a set period).
2. Cookies We Use
We use minimal cookies on our Site. Here is a complete list of data stored in your browser by our Site:
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| athena_consent | localStorage | Stores your analytics consent preference (accepted/declined) | Persistent (until cleared) |
3. Analytics
We use Vercel Web Analytics, a privacy-friendly analytics service that:
- Does not use cookies or similar tracking technologies
- Does not collect personally identifiable information
- Does not track users across websites or applications
- Provides only anonymous, aggregated data (page views, visitor counts)
- Cannot re-identify individual users
You can choose to decline analytics through our cookie consent banner. If you decline, Vercel Analytics will not be loaded at all.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Our Site does not set any third-party cookies. We do not use:
- Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager
- Facebook/Meta Pixel
- TikTok Pixel
- Any advertising or retargeting cookies
Our Site loads a custom font from Framer's CDN. This is a standard web request that does not involve tracking cookies, though the CDN server may log your IP address as part of standard web server operations.
5. Social Media Links
Our Site contains links to external social media profiles (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube). These are standard hyperlinks - we do not embed social media widgets, share buttons, or tracking pixels from these platforms. Clicking a social link will take you to the respective platform, which has its own cookie and privacy policies.
6. Managing Your Preferences
You can manage your analytics preference at any time by:
- Clicking "Cookie Settings" in our website footer to open the preference dialog
- Clearing your browser's localStorage for this site
Since we only use a single localStorage entry and no traditional cookies, standard browser cookie-clearing functions may not affect our analytics preference. Use the "Cookie Settings" dialog for the most reliable control.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
