1. Summary
ALINKS uses a small set of essential cookies and browser storage so you can sign in securely, complete OTP/OAuth flows, and remember dashboard preferences. We do not run third-party advertising cookies on alinks.online by default.
2. What we use
| Name / type | Purpose |

| Session cookie (HTTP-only) | Keep you signed in to the dashboard after OTP or Google login |
| Email OTP cookie | Short-lived verification of email OTP challenge |
| OAuth state cookies | CSRF protection for Google / Calendar connect |
| Coming-soon preview cookie | Optional bypass of marketing coming-soon gate for previewers |
| Theme preference (localStorage) | Remember light/dark dashboard preference |
| Cookie notice dismiss (localStorage) | Remember that you closed the essential-cookies banner |
3. What we do not use by default
- Third-party ad networks or retargeting pixels on the marketing site
- Cross-site tracking cookies for selling audience data
- Non-essential analytics cookies that require separate marketing consent
Public mini-site analytics (if enabled) are aggregated page/link counts without visitor PII. Optional publisher ad slots on tenant sites are controlled by the tenant ads opt-in preference.
4. Your controls
- Browser settings: clear cookies and site data at any time (you will need to sign in again)
- Dashboard → Settings: withdraw optional publisher ads consent
- Dashboard → Settings → Delete account: removes platform account data per Privacy Policy
- Contact: privacy@alinks.online or /grievance for further requests
5. Updates
If we introduce non-essential cookies (e.g. optional analytics tools), we will update this notice and request additional consent where required by law. Lawyer review required before public launch claims.
