Last updated XXXXX
This website does not use cookies. There is no banner to dismiss because there is nothing to consent to.
Draft — not yet in force
This page still has 21 details to fill in, shown as XXXXX. They will be published once the company details are finalised, and this notice disappears on its own.
The short version
We set no cookies. We store nothing in your browser's local storage, session storage or IndexedDB. We run no advertising pixels and no session recording, and we load no fonts, images or embeds from third-party servers.
We do measure how many people visit, using Vercel Web Analytics. It is cookieless: it stores nothing on your device and does not follow you between sites. See "About the visitor counting" below.
Why there is no cookie banner
Under the ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR, consent is required before storing anything on your device that is not strictly necessary to deliver the service you asked for.
This site stores nothing at all, so there is nothing to ask you about. A banner here would be theatre — it would ask permission for something that never happens.
About the visitor counting
We use Vercel Web Analytics to see how many people visit and which pages they read. It records the page, the referring site, and a coarse country, device type and browser.
It sets no cookie and stores nothing on your device, so there is no identifier that would let anyone recognise you on a return visit or follow you to another site. Visitor counts are worked out from a value that is discarded and regenerated daily.
That is why you have still not been shown a consent banner: consent is required for storing things on your device, and nothing is stored. You can block it with any content blocker and the site works exactly the same.
About the fonts
Websites commonly load their typefaces from Google Fonts, which sends your IP address to Google on every page view. This one does not. The fonts are downloaded when the site is built and served from this domain, so no request leaves for a third party while you browse.
What your browser still does
Two things happen that are not cookies, and are not under our control:
- Your browser caches files — images, fonts, stylesheets — so the site loads faster next time. This is standard HTTP caching. It stores no identifier and tells us nothing about you. You can clear it from your browser settings at any time.
- Our hosting provider records each request in its server logs, including your IP address. This is how any web server works, is used only to keep the site running and secure, and is covered in the privacy policy.
If this ever changes
If we later add anything that stores data on your device or reports back to a third party — analytics, a chat widget, an embedded video, a marketing pixel — then this page will be updated first, and a consent banner will appear before any such script is allowed to load. Non-essential scripts will not run until you agree to them.
Until you see that banner, you can take this page at its word.
Questions
If you want to check any of this, ask us at hello@aliyahlabs.com. You can also verify it yourself: open your browser's developer tools, look under Application for stored data and under Network for outbound requests, and you should find neither.
