This Cookie Policy explains how Halogen AI, Inc. ("Halogen AI," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and within Halogen Presence™, our Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) platform (together, the "Website" and "Services"). It explains what cookies are, the types we use, why we use them, and your choices. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
This Cookie Policy provides information about what cookies are, the categories of cookies we use across our marketing website and our authenticated platform, the purposes for which we use them, and the choices available to you. Our Privacy Policy provides additional detail about how we collect, use, and protect personal information more generally.
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give site owners information about usage. Cookies can be:
We also use related technologies, such as similar local-storage mechanisms and pixels, which we refer to collectively as "cookies" in this policy. Cookies may be set by us ("first-party") or by a third-party provider ("third-party").
These cookies are required for the Website and Services to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They enable core functionality such as:
Because these cookies are essential, they are set on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating a secure service and do not require consent. If you block them, parts of the Services (particularly authenticated areas) may not work.
We use analytics cookies, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors and users interact with our Website and Services — for example, which pages are visited, navigation paths, referral sources, and general device and approximate location information. This helps us measure and improve the Services.
We and certain third-party providers, including Google, may use cookies and similar technologies to measure marketing performance and to support advertising, including cross-context behavioral advertising as described in our Privacy Policy. Under certain U.S. state privacy laws, the use of these cookies may be considered "sharing" of personal information. You have the right to opt out, as described in Section 5.
The table below describes the principal categories of cookies we use. Specific cookie names and durations may change as we update our Website and providers.
| Category | Set by | Purpose | Type & typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Halogen AI (first-party) | Authenticated platform session; keeps you signed in. | Persistent; up to ~30 days |
| Necessary | Halogen AI (first-party) | CSRF / authentication-state protection during sign-in. | Session |
| Necessary | Halogen AI (first-party) | Internal staff session and support impersonation (short-lived; used to assist your organization). | Session; minutes to ~1 hour |
| Analytics | Google Analytics (third-party) | Aggregate usage measurement and Website improvement. | Persistent; up to 2 years |
| Advertising | Google and similar providers (third-party) | Marketing measurement and behavioral advertising (see Section 3.3). | Persistent; varies by provider |

We use strictly necessary cookies based on our legitimate business interest in operating a secure service. We use analytics and advertising cookies subject to your opt-out rights under applicable U.S. state privacy laws, as described in Section 5.
We comply with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and applicable provincial privacy laws. For Quebec residents, we comply with Law 25 requirements regarding transparency and consent. Our use of non-essential cookies is based on consent obtained through your interaction with our cookie controls or continued use of our Website after being informed of our cookie practices.
Where required, we provide cookie controls that let you accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your choices at any time through those controls where available.
Most browsers let you manage cookies through their settings — accepting or rejecting cookies, deleting stored cookies, or blocking third-party cookies such as Google Analytics. If you block all cookies (including essential cookies), you may be unable to access certain parts of the Services, particularly authenticated areas. Cookie settings can typically be found under:
We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required by applicable law. When we detect a valid GPC signal from your browser, we treat it as a request to opt out of the "sharing" of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising for that browser.
You have multiple options to opt out of Google Analytics and Google advertising:
You may also contact us at privacy@halo-gen.ai to exercise your opt-out rights.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. Because there is no universally accepted standard for responding to DNT signals, our Website does not currently respond to DNT. You can use the controls described above, including GPC, to manage tracking.
If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to know, the right to delete, the right to correct, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right to non-discrimination. We do not sell personal information for money; however, our use of advertising cookies may constitute "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising, and you may opt out using the methods in Section 5. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@halo-gen.ai.
We comply with PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy legislation. Canadian users have the right to access personal information we hold, request corrections, withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time, and lodge a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the applicable provincial commissioner. For Quebec residents, we comply with Law 25 regarding transparency and consent.
Our Website and Services are intended for business use by organizations and business professionals and are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to use our Website or Services. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a minor, we will take steps to delete it promptly.
Information collected through cookies may be transferred to and processed in the United States and, in the case of certain third-party providers, in other jurisdictions. Where such transfers occur, we and our providers rely on appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law. For more detail on international transfers, see our Privacy Policy.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect information collected through cookies against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date, post the updated policy on our Website, and, for significant changes, may provide additional notice through our Website or by email to registered customers. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
