Cookie Policy

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember your preferences, keep you logged in across pages, and understand how the site is used. We also use similar technologies — local storage, pixels, and session tokens — that serve comparable functions.

How we use cookies

Alphaforge uses cookies to make the platform work, to keep your account secure, to remember your preferences, and to understand how users engage with the site so we can improve it.

The four categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary. Required for the site to function. They keep you logged in, protect against cross-site request forgery, and remember the contents of your selections during a session. These cannot be switched off without breaking core functionality.

Performance and analytics. Help us understand how users move through the site — what pages are visited, what actions are taken, where users drop off. This data is used in aggregate to improve the product. We do not link this data to your personal identity for analytics purposes.

Functional. Remember preferences you've set — theme (light/dark), language, dashboard layout — so the site behaves the way you expect on return visits.

Marketing and targeting. Set by us or by trusted partners to measure the effectiveness of advertising and to show you relevant content elsewhere on the web. These are loaded only with your explicit consent.

Your choices

When you first visit the site we present a consent banner. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customise your choice by category. You can change your choice at any time by visiting Cookie Preferences in the footer.

You can also manage cookies through your browser. Most browsers allow you to view, manage, or delete cookies for any site you visit. Note that disabling strictly-necessary cookies will prevent the platform from working properly.

Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties whose services are loaded on Alphaforge — for example, our analytics provider and the live-chat widget. Each of those providers has its own privacy and cookie practices. We list our active third-party providers and link to their policies in our Privacy Policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision.
