1. Overview

AlertHound uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to provide and improve our services. These technologies help us keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and understand how users interact with the platform so we can make it better.

By continuing to use AlertHound, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings.

2. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser when you visit a website. They allow the website to recognize your device on subsequent visits and recall information about your session or preferences.

In addition to traditional cookies, we may use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and HTTP headers to achieve the same or similar purposes. References to β€œcookies” in this policy encompass all such technologies.

Cookies can be session cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent cookies (stored for a defined period or until you delete them). They can also be set by us (first-party) or by third-party services we integrate with.

Please note that blocking or deleting essential cookies may prevent you from logging in or using core features of AlertHound. Blocking functional or analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use the platform, but may result in your preferences not being saved between sessions.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in the cookies we use or applicable legal requirements. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
