Cookie Policy
This explains the cookies and similar technologies AIP uses, and how you stay in control of them. For how we handle personal data generally, see our Privacy Policy.
Last updated: 3 October 2026
Our approach
We keep cookies to a minimum. Strictly necessary cookies that make the site and app work are always on. Anything else — in our case, analytics — is off by default and only loads after you opt in through our cookie consent banner. We don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Essential cookies (always on)
These are needed for AIP to function securely — for example keeping you logged in and protecting the service. Because the site can't work properly without them, they don't require consent. They're not used for analytics or advertising.
Analytics cookies (only after opt-in)
We use Google Analytics via Google Tag Manager to understand how the site is used so we can improve it. Under Google Consent Mode, analytics storage defaults to "denied", so no analytics cookies are set until you accept them in the banner. If you decline, analytics stays off.
Advertising cookies
None. We don't run advertising cookies or sell your browsing data.
Cookies at a glance
| Name / group | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Session / login | Keeps you signed in and your session secure while using AIP. | Essential — always on |
| Security | Protects against abuse and helps secure requests. | Essential — always on |
| Consent preference | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so we don't re-ask every visit. | Essential — always on |
Google Analytics / Tag Manager (e.g. _ga, _ga_*) | Measures site usage to help us improve it. Loaded only after you opt in. | Analytics — consent required |
Google Analytics is a US-based service; where consent is given, any transfer outside the EEA relies on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Managing or withdrawing consent
- Change your choice here: re-open the cookie banner to accept or decline analytics at any time. Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it.
- Browser settings: you can block or delete cookies in your browser. Blocking essential cookies may stop parts of AIP from working.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our use of cookies changes; the "last updated" date above will change accordingly.
