This policy explains what cookies are, which cookies Alyce.in uses and how you can control them.
We keep cookies to a minimum: one essential cookie, plus Google Analytics only if you agree.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website saves on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences or collect statistics about how a site is used.
Similar technologies, such as local storage and tracking pixels, can be used for the same purposes. In this policy, “cookies” includes those technologies too.
2. How We Use Cookies
When you first visit Alyce.in, a bar at the bottom of the page asks for your permission. The Google Analytics tag is present on every page, but it runs in Google’s Consent Mode. Until you choose “Accept All” or switch on analytics in “Manage Preferences”, it does not set or read any cookies on your device.
3. Cookies We Use
Essential cookies are needed for the website to respect your choices, so they cannot be switched off. Analytics cookies are optional and are only set with your consent.
4. Google Analytics
Google Analytics helps us understand how many people visit Alyce.in, which pages they view and how they found the site. We use this only to improve the website.
- Google Analytics does not log or store IP addresses.
- Before you give consent, Google Analytics may send anonymous, cookieless signals, for example that a page was viewed. These involve no cookies or identifiers stored on your device, and Google uses them only in aggregate to estimate overall visits.
- We have turned off Google signals and advertising features.
- Analytics data is kept for 14 months and then deleted automatically.
- Google processes this data on our behalf and may process it outside the United Kingdom.
To learn more, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can also block Google Analytics on all websites with Google’s opt-out browser add-on.
5. Your Choices
You are in control of the optional cookies on this website:
- Accept All allows analytics cookies.
- Reject Optional keeps only the essential cookie.
- Manage Preferences lets you choose for yourself.
You can change your mind at any time using “Cookie Settings” in the footer of every page, or the button below. If you withdraw consent, Google Analytics returns to its restricted, cookie-free mode and we remove its cookies from your browser. Rejecting analytics cookies does not affect how the website works.
6. Google Fonts
Our fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. When a page loads, your browser connects to Google’s servers, which receive your IP address. Google states that Google Fonts does not set cookies. For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy and our Privacy Policy.
7. Cookies on Other Websites
When you follow a link from Alyce.in to another website, that website may set its own cookies. This includes Fliprly, where the domain is listed and sold, and any sponsor or partner websites linked from this site.
Those cookies are controlled by the website that sets them, not by us. Please check each website’s own cookie and privacy policies.
8. Managing Cookies in Your Browser
You can also control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:
- See which cookies are stored and delete them individually.
- Block cookies from particular websites or from third parties.
- Block all cookies.
- Delete all cookies when you close the browser.
Look for “Cookies” or “Privacy” in the settings or help section of your browser, such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Edge. If you delete the alyce_consent cookie, we will ask for your choice again on your next visit.
9. Changes to This Policy
If we change the cookies we use, we will update this policy and ask for your consent again where the law requires it. The latest version will always be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
