This page explains how Akuno uses cookies and similar technologies, and how you can control them. For broader details about personal data, please read our Privacy Policy.
We aim to keep tracking minimal during private beta. Essential cookies are required for core features like login. Analytics (such as Google Analytics) is optional and will be enabled only with consent where required.
1. Overview
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We also use similar technologies (such as local storage) for settings and security. Some are strictly necessary for Akuno to work. Others help us understand usage and improve the platform.
2. Essential cookies
These are required for the platform to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set in response to actions you take, such as logging in or saving preferences.
- Session & authentication: keeps you signed in and maintains secure sessions.
- Security: helps prevent abuse and protects the platform.
- Preferences: remembers basic settings (where applicable).
3. Analytics cookies
Analytics helps us understand what features are useful, where users get stuck, and how we can improve Akuno. We intend to use Google Analytics during private beta.
- Purpose: measure usage and improve performance and user experience.
- Typical data: pages visited, approximate location (via IP), device/browser type, and interactions.
- Choice: where required, analytics will run only after you accept non-essential cookies.
If you reject analytics cookies, Akuno will still work normally.
4. Managing your choices
You can manage cookies in the following ways:
- Consent controls: where provided on Akuno, you can accept or reject analytics cookies.
- Browser settings: you can block or delete cookies via your browser settings.
- Private browsing: some browsers reduce stored data automatically.
Blocking essential cookies may prevent login and core features from working.
5. Third-party services
We may use trusted third-party providers for hosting, performance, email delivery, and analytics. Where these providers place cookies or process data, they do so under their own terms and our instructions where applicable.
- Analytics: Google Analytics (planned).
- Email delivery: your configured email provider (for verification and service messages).
- Infrastructure: hosting and security providers needed to run Akuno.
6. Retention
Essential cookies typically last for the duration of your session or a short period needed for security. Analytics retention depends on provider settings and will be configured to the minimum useful period for beta insights.
7. Changes
We may update this page as we add or change tracking tools. If changes are material, we may provide additional notice in the product.
