Cookie Policy

Last reviewed: April 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Aethera (aethera.info) uses browser storage. It is straightforward: this platform uses no tracking, advertising, or analytics technologies of any kind. The only browser storage used on this site is a single, essential item described below.

1. What Browser Storage Aethera Uses

Aethera.info uses localStorage — a standard browser mechanism — to store a single item that records whether you have acknowledged or dismissed the cookie information banner displayed at the bottom of the page.

This item contains only a status indicator ("accepted" or "declined") and nothing else. It does not identify you. It does not contain personal information. It is not accessible by any third party.

2. Purpose of This Storage

The sole purpose of this localStorage item is to ensure the cookie banner is not shown repeatedly once you have already responded to it. Without this item, the banner would appear on every page visit. Storing your response avoids this repetition and is therefore essential to basic site functionality.

3. What Is Not Used

Aethera does not use any of the following:

  • Analytics cookies or scripts (e.g. Google Analytics, Matomo)
  • Advertising cookies or targeting technologies
  • Third-party cookies of any kind
  • Session recording or heatmap tools
  • Tracking pixels or marketing tags
  • Social media tracking integrations
  • Personalisation or behavioural profiling systems

No information about how you interact with this website is shared with, transmitted to, or processed by any third party.

4. Managing Browser Storage

You can clear localStorage at any time through your browser's settings or developer tools. Doing so will reset the cookie banner to its default visible state, meaning it will appear again on your next visit. This is the only functional consequence of clearing this storage item.

Disabling JavaScript in your browser will prevent the banner logic from running, but will not affect your ability to read the editorial content on Aethera.

5. Updates to This Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated if the platform's functionality changes. Any updates will be reflected in the "Last reviewed" date at the top of this page. The core commitment — using only essential browser storage and nothing else — will remain as the basis of this platform's approach.
