1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on a browser or device when a website is visited. Similar technologies may include local storage, pixels, software development kits, and identifiers. They help a website remember information, secure a session, understand how features work, and, where permitted, measure or tailor communications.
“First-party” cookies are set by AlcaAds. “Third-party” cookies are set by a provider acting through our site or application. This Policy applies to alcaads.com and app.alcaads.com. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
2. Types of Cookies and Similar Technologies
| Category | Purpose | Consent basis |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Security, authentication, session continuity, load balancing, and fraud prevention. | Used because they are necessary for the requested service or our legitimate security interests. |
| Functional | Remember preferences such as language, workspace choices, or interface settings. | Used where needed for a feature; consent is obtained where required. |
| Analytics | Measure reliability, navigation, feature usage, and errors in aggregate. | Used with consent where required by law. |
| Advertising | Measure or deliver marketing communications across sites or services. | Not used without the required consent. |
3. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies and similar technologies allow core functions to work. They may preserve a login session, protect against request forgery, detect suspicious activity, maintain security settings, distribute traffic, and remember your cookie choice. Blocking them can prevent secure sign-in or other requested functions. Because these technologies are necessary, they generally cannot be disabled through our consent controls; however, you may remove them in your browser, with the functional consequences described below.
4. Functional Cookies
Functional technologies remember choices that improve your experience, such as display, language, or workspace preferences. They are not intended to identify you across unrelated websites. If you disable them, certain preferences may not be retained and features may behave less consistently.
5. Analytics Cookies
Analytics technologies help us understand, in aggregate, whether pages load correctly, which features are used, and where errors occur. We use analytics to improve performance, usability, and security; we do not use TikTok advertising data for cross-context behavioral advertising. Where analytics requires consent, we will not activate it until you provide it through our consent interface.
6. Advertising Cookies
AlcaAds does not deploy advertising cookies or similar technologies for cross-site behavioral advertising unless it provides a clear notice and obtains the consent required by applicable law. If this practice changes, we will update this Policy and the applicable consent interface before activation. TikTok Pixels or event tools placed by an advertiser on that advertiser's own properties are controlled by that advertiser and are not set by simply visiting AlcaAds.
7. Third-Party Cookies
Third-party providers may supply infrastructure, security, payments, or analytics functionality. Their technologies are governed by their own notices and contractual commitments. We require providers to use information only for authorized services where applicable. Third-party content, integrations, or links may create their own cookies; AlcaAds does not control those providers' independent practices.
8. Cookie Consent and Managing Cookies
Where law requires consent, we present a consent mechanism before non-essential cookies are set. You may accept, reject, or change optional preferences through the consent controls made available on the relevant website or application. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that occurred before withdrawal.
Browser settings
Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or alert you about cookies through their settings. You may also use private browsing modes or device-level advertising controls. Instructions differ by browser; consult the browser provider's help resources. If you block all cookies, portions of AlcaAds—particularly sign-in, security, and preference functions—may not work.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, law, or our practices. The updated version will be posted here with a revised effective date.
