Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on hal149.com (the "Website"), what each of them is for, and how you can manage them.
1. What are cookies and similar technologies?
A cookie is a small file that a website stores on your device so it can remember information about your visit. This policy also covers local storage, a browser mechanism that works in a comparable way: it stores information on your device, and we treat it here with the same transparency and the same consent rules.
2. Who is responsible
The party responsible for the use of cookies on this Website is HAL149, 1032 E Brandon Blvd #1333, Brandon, FL 33511, United States. Contact email: info@hal149.com.
3. What this Website uses
The Website uses only the following, and nothing else:
| Name | Provider | Type | Storage | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI assistant session identifier | HAL149 (own) | Strictly necessary | Local storage | Until you clear your browser data | Keeps the context of your conversation with the AI assistant as you browse. |
| Cookie consent choice | HAL149 (own) | Strictly necessary | Local storage | Until you clear your browser data | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics, so we do not ask again. |
| Theme preference | HAL149 (own) | Functional | Local storage | Until you clear your browser data | Remembers whether you chose the light or dark version of the site. |
_ga, _ga_* |
Google Analytics | Analytics | Cookie | Up to 2 years | Distinguishes users anonymously and produces aggregated usage statistics. |
No advertising, marketing, profiling or social-network cookies are used, and no data collected here is used to build advertising profiles or sold to third parties.
4. Our own strictly necessary and functional storage
The AI assistant stores a session identifier so that it can remember the conversation in progress. The consent banner stores your accept/reject choice. The theme switch stores your light/dark preference. All three are stored locally in your browser, are set by us and not by a third party, and are strictly necessary or purely functional — so they do not require prior consent. None of them is used to track you across other websites.
5. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics)
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand in aggregate and anonymised form how the Website is used — which pages are visited, where traffic comes from, and what type of device is used — in order to improve the browsing experience.
These cookies are only set if you accept them. Until you make a choice, analytics storage is disabled by default through Google's consent mode. You can read more in Google's privacy policy.
6. Managing and withdrawing your consent
The first time you visit the Website, a banner lets you accept or reject analytics cookies. You can change that decision at any time from the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer, which reopens the banner.
Rejecting analytics does not affect your use of the Website: every feature, including the AI assistant, keeps working.
7. Browser controls
You can also block or delete cookies and clear local storage from your browser settings:
Note that clearing this data also removes your consent choice and your theme preference, so the banner will appear again on your next visit.
8. Further information
For how we handle personal data more generally, see our Privacy Policy. For the terms governing use of the Website, see our Legal Notice.
9. Changes to this policy
This Cookie Policy may be updated to reflect changes in the technologies used or for legal reasons. The version published on this page is always the one in force.
