Summary
We keep cookies to a minimum. We do not use advertising, retargeting, cross-site tracking, or session-recording tools. Cloudflare uses strictly necessary security cookies, and we store your cookie choice in your browser. Our analytics tool is cookieless and loads only if you allow it.
Strictly necessary cookies and storage (always on)
| Name | Provider | Type | What it does | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm | Cloudflare | Cookie | Helps tell people from bots so we can protect the Site from automated attacks. Its contents are encrypted and readable only by Cloudflare, and Cloudflare says it is not used to track you across sites or sessions. | Expires after 30 minutes of inactivity |
cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Cookie | Set only if Cloudflare shows your browser a security check. It remembers that you passed, so you aren't challenged again. | For the security-check period Cloudflare applies to the Site, then it expires |
athenait_consent_v1 | AthenaIT | Browser localStorage (not a cookie) | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics, plus the policy version and the date you decided. It is never sent to our servers. It is stored only after you click Accept analytics or Reject. | 365 days, or until we change this policy; then we ask again |
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal, we don't show the cookie banner, analytics stays off, and nothing is stored in athenait_consent_v1.
These are needed for the Site to work securely and to remember your choice, so we don't ask for consent to use them. You can block them in your browser settings, but parts of the Site, such as our contact form, may not work. You can still reach us at team@athenait.ai.
Our contact and IT health check forms also use Cloudflare Turnstile to block spam bots. It loads only when you start using a form. Turnstile doesn't set advertising or tracking cookies; it checks signals such as your IP address and browser and device details. See Cloudflare's Turnstile Privacy Addendum and our Privacy Policy.
Analytics (only with your permission)
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and measure how fast pages load. According to Cloudflare, it does not use cookies and does not track individual visitors. Whatever it uses runs only after you allow it. We load it only after you choose Accept analytics in our cookie banner. We don't load it if you choose Reject, or if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signal.
Changing your choice
You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link in the Site footer. Changes take effect right away; if you turn analytics off, we stop loading it on later pages.
Changes and contact
We may change this policy from time to time, for example if our use of cookies changes. We will post any changes on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Questions: team@athenait.ai, or write to us at the address above.
