Cookie Policy
A plain-language look at the small files that help AlphaVerse run smoothly — what they do, why we use them, and how to control them.
In short: we use a small number of cookies to keep AlphaVerse working correctly, understand how the site is used, and improve performance. We don't currently use marketing cookies, and any future use will be covered here first. You're always in control through your browser settings.

What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device — computer, phone or tablet — when you visit it. They let the site remember information about your visit, like your preferences or how you interact with different pages, so it can work more smoothly the next time you're there.
Cookies aren't programs and can't run code or install anything on your device. They're simply small pieces of data that your browser sends back to the site each time you load a page, which is what makes features like staying logged in or remembering your settings possible.
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for AlphaVerse to function properly. They handle things like keeping you securely logged into your account, remembering items in an active session, and protecting the site against certain security risks.
- Purpose: authentication, session management, security and core site functionality
- Can they be disabled? No — blocking these will likely break parts of the site, such as staying logged in or completing a purchase
- Duration: most expire at the end of your session; a few persist briefly to keep you logged in between visits
Because these cookies are essential to delivering the service you've asked for, they don't require separate consent under most cookie laws.
Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how people actually use AlphaVerse — which pages get visited, how people move through the site, and where they run into friction. This helps us prioritize fixes and improvements that matter.
- Purpose: understanding traffic patterns, page performance and general usage trends
- What we see: aggregated, anonymized-where-possible data — not a detailed profile of you personally
- Can they be disabled? Yes — disabling these won't affect your ability to use the site
Performance Cookies
Performance cookies help us measure how fast and reliably AlphaVerse loads and runs for different visitors, across different devices, browsers and connection speeds. This lets us catch slow pages, broken elements or loading issues before they affect more people.
- Purpose: monitoring load times, error rates and overall site stability
- Can they be disabled? Yes — the site will still function, though we may have less visibility into issues affecting your specific experience
Future Marketing Cookies
AlphaVerse does not currently use marketing or advertising cookies. We're not tracking you across other websites, building an ad profile, or sharing browsing data with advertising networks today.
If this changes in the future — for example, to measure the effectiveness of our own campaigns — we'll update this policy first and, where required by law, ask for your consent before any such cookies are set.
Third-Party Cookies
Some features on AlphaVerse rely on third-party services — such as payment processors, embedded videos, charting widgets, or customer support tools. These providers may set their own cookies when their content or functionality loads on our site.
We don't control how these third parties use their cookies. Each one operates under its own privacy and cookie policy, which we'd encourage you to review if you want details on exactly what they collect and how it's used.
Managing Cookies
You're always in control of the cookies on your device. You can allow, block, or delete cookies at any time — either for AlphaVerse specifically or across every site you visit.
Keep in mind that blocking essential cookies may prevent parts of AlphaVerse from working as intended, such as staying logged in or completing checkout. Blocking analytics or performance cookies won't affect core functionality.
Browser Settings
Every major browser lets you view, manage, and delete cookies through its settings. The exact steps vary slightly by browser, but generally involve:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
From there, you can clear existing cookies, block future cookies entirely, or set rules for specific sites like AlphaVerse. Most browsers also offer a private or incognito mode that avoids storing cookies beyond that session.
Policy Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example, if we introduce a new tool, integrate a new third-party service, or if cookie regulations change. Any updates will be posted here with a new "Last Updated" date.
If a future change involves a meaningfully new use of cookies, such as introducing marketing cookies, we'll make that clear and seek your consent where required.
