Cookie Notice
This Cookie Notice describes the cookies and similar technologies used on the ALETHEIA websites (aletheia.holisticquality.io and safety.holisticquality.io) and in connection with the ALETHEIA API. It supplements the ALETHEIA Privacy Policy.
1. What are cookies and similar technologies
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a website. Similar technologies — including local storage, session storage, and pixel tags — serve comparable purposes. Collectively, this Notice refers to them as "cookies."
2. What we use, and why
ALETHEIA is a business-to-business API with a minimal public web surface. We use cookies and similar technologies only for the categories described below. We do not use advertising cookies, marketing pixels, behavioral tracking, cross-site tracking, or third-party analytics that profile individual visitors.
2.1 Strictly necessary (always active)
These cookies are required for the websites to function securely. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Typical lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm |
Cloudflare | Bot management and security challenge evaluation | 30 minutes |
cf_clearance |
Cloudflare | Confirms a visitor has passed a security challenge | Up to 30 days |
| Session tokens | Holistic Quality | Maintain session state if you log into any authenticated area | Session only |
More information: Cloudflare Cookies reference.
2.2 Operational and security (always active)
These technologies support infrastructure reliability and abuse prevention, processed by our hosting and CDN providers under their own privacy policies.
| Technology | Set by | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Server logs (IP, User-Agent, request metadata) | Vercel, Cloudflare | Infrastructure reliability, security, DDoS mitigation, abuse prevention |
| Edge rate-limiting identifiers | Cloudflare | Enforce per-IP rate limits on public endpoints |
These are technically not "cookies" in the browser sense but are covered here for transparency. They are described in more detail in Privacy Policy §2.3.
2.3 Analytics (aggregated only)
If aggregate analytics are enabled on the ALETHEIA websites, we access only aggregated or anonymized data. We do not use third-party analytics that profile individual visitors (for example, Google Analytics with identifiable tracking enabled, Meta Pixel, or behavioral retargeting tools).
If we enable an analytics tool that places any browser-side cookie, this Notice will be updated to list it by name before the tool is deployed.
2.4 What we do not use
We do not use:
- advertising or marketing cookies
- cross-site tracking pixels
- third-party retargeting or remarketing cookies
- behavioral profiling technologies
- cookies that share data with advertisers
3. Your choices
Because we limit cookie usage to strictly necessary and operational categories, most jurisdictions do not require a consent banner for our use. However, you retain full control over cookies through your browser:
- Browser controls. All major browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Blocking the cookies listed in §2.1 may prevent the websites from functioning correctly or may cause repeated security challenges from Cloudflare.
- Do Not Track (DNT). We do not respond to DNT signals because we do not perform the kind of tracking DNT is designed to opt out of.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC). We do not sell or share personal data; GPC signals therefore do not change our behavior.
4. RapidAPI marketplace users
If you access the Service through RapidAPI, any cookies placed by the RapidAPI marketplace are governed by RapidAPI's own cookie policy, which is available on the RapidAPI website. Holistic Quality does not set or read those cookies.
5. Changes to this Notice
We may update this Cookie Notice from time to time. Material changes will be announced on this page and, where required, through the channels described in Privacy Policy §11. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this Notice indicates the most recent revision.
