Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, improve efficiency, and provide information to site owners. Some technologies, such as browser localStorage, serve a similar purpose but are not transmitted to servers with each request.

2. Cookies and Storage We Use

We keep our use of cookies and client-side storage to an absolute minimum. The table below lists every cookie and storage item set by aeternoai.com:

Name	Type	Purpose	Duration	Essential?
`aeterno-session`	httpOnly secure cookie	Authenticated session management for platform users	7 days	Yes
`theme`	localStorage	Remembers your light/dark display preference	Persistent	Yes

Both items are strictly necessary for the operation of our website and platform. Neither is used for tracking, advertising, or profiling.

3. Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics to understand how our website is used in aggregate. Plausible is a privacy-first, EU-hosted analytics service that:

Does not set any cookies
Does not use localStorage or any other client-side storage
Does not collect personal data
Does not track you across websites

All data collected by Plausible is aggregated — no individual visitors can be identified. Because Plausible does not store anything on your device, it does not require cookie consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR).

4. Third-Party Cookies

We do not use any analytics, advertising, or marketing cookies. No third-party cookies are set by our website.

5. How to Control Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

View what cookies are set
Delete individual or all cookies
Block cookies from specific or all websites
Block third-party cookies

Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from using authenticated features of our platform.

6. Changes to This Policy

If we introduce new cookies or change how we use existing ones, we will update this page. If we ever introduce non-essential cookies, we will obtain your consent before setting them.
