This policy pertains to cookies and webpages operated by Alienhuman
Cookie Policy
- What are Cookies?
Cookies are small files of letters and numbers stored on your computer, mobile device, or any other device through which you access a webpage. These cookies are installed at a web browser’s request (such as Internet Explorer or Chrome) and are completely passive—they do not contain software, viruses, or spyware and cannot access information on your hard drive.
2. What are Cookies Used For?
These files enable the recognition of your device, presenting content in a relevant way tailored to your preferences. Cookies provide users with a seamless browsing experience and support our efforts to offer the best services. For instance, we can remember your privacy preferences or display relevant advertising aligned with your interests. They are also used to compile aggregated anonymous statistics to help us understand how users engage with our webpages, allowing us to enhance their structure and content without personally identifying users.
3. Why are Cookies Important?
Cookies are central to an effective relationship between a webpage and its users, facilitating a friendly browsing experience tailored to individual preferences and interests. Denying or disabling cookies can render some sites unusable.
Moreover, refusing or disabling cookies does not mean you will no longer receive online advertising; however, it will prevent tracking of your preferences and interests based on your browsing behavior, resulting in ads being displayed randomly.
4. What Cookies Do We Use?
We use two types of cookies: session cookies and persistent cookies. Session cookies are temporary files that remain on your device until you end your session or close the application (web browser). Persistent cookies stay on your device for a period defined by the cookie’s parameters or until manually deleted by you.
5. What are Third-Party Cookies?
Certain sections of content on our websites are provided through third parties, not by Alienhuman. In such cases, these are referred to as third-party cookies.
The list below includes services that collect statistics in anonymous and aggregate formats and may not require user consent or can be managed directly by Alienhuman without third-party assistance.
Please consult the privacy policies of the services listed below for more details about the information they collect.
6. How are Cookies Used by This Site?
A visit to this site may place the following types of cookies:
Site Performance Cookies: Store your preferences for using our site, so you don’t need to set them on each visit.
Analytics Cookies: Allow us to determine if a user has previously visited our site. These are used exclusively for statistical purposes. If you’ve accessed our site before, we may know details you’ve previously provided, such as your email address or username (subject to our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws).
Geotargeting Cookies: Used by software to determine the country of origin of the user.
Registration Cookies: Generated when you register on our site, indicating whether you are logged in. Our servers use these cookies to show the account with which you are registered and verify your permissions for specific services. They also allow us to associate any comments you post with your chosen username. If you haven’t selected “Stay logged in,” this cookie will be deleted automatically when you close your browser or device.
Advertising Cookies: Enable us to determine whether an online ad has been viewed, its type, and how long it’s been since you saw the ad. They are also used to target online advertising. We may use third-party cookies for better ad targeting. These cookies are anonymous and do not store user information but rather data about the content viewed.
You can change the cookie settings for this site [here].
The use of your information in the ways stated above is permitted by applicable data protection laws, as it is:
Necessary for our legitimate interests in pursuing the described purposes, and your privacy interests do not override them (e.g., to fulfill contractual obligations, including Terms and Conditions).
Necessary to fulfill our legal responsibilities, such as disclosing information to authorities or regulatory bodies (in some cases).
Necessary to perform a task in the public interest, for establishing, exercising, or defending legal claims, or where processing relates to personal information that is publicly available (in some cases).
Processed only with your consent, which we obtain periodically, such as when you choose to receive marketing communications or emails.
7. Do Cookies Contain Personal Data?
A cookie does not require personal information to be used and, in most cases, does not personally identify internet users. Personal data collected through the use of cookies can be gathered only to facilitate certain user functions. These data are encrypted in a way that prevents unauthorized access.
8. Deleting Cookies
Generally, applications used to access web pages allow cookies to be saved to your device by default. These settings can be changed to block automatic cookie handling by the web browser or to notify you whenever cookies are sent to your device. Detailed information about managing cookies can be found in your browser’s settings. Restricting the use of cookies may affect certain features of the webpage.
9. Security and Privacy Issues
Cookies are NOT viruses! They use plain text formats and are not composed of code, so they cannot be executed or self-run. Consequently, they cannot duplicate or replicate on other networks to run or replicate again. Because they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.
In general, browsers have built-in privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, shelf life, and automatic deletion after the user has visited a site.
10. Cookie Recommendations
Due to their flexibility and the fact that most popular sites use cookies, they are almost inevitable. Disabling cookies will not allow users to access widely used sites, including YouTube, Gmail, Yahoo, and others.
Here are a few tips to ensure secure navigation while using cookies:
Customize your browser settings to match your preferred security level regarding cookies.
If you do not mind cookies and you are the only person using your computer, you can set expiration dates for storing browsing history and personal data.
If you share access to your computer, consider setting your browser to delete individual browsing data each time you close the session.
Install and update anti-spyware applications regularly.
Ensure your browser is always up to date, as many vulnerabilities exploited by malware stem from outdated browser versions.
