1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit them. They are used for various purposes such as remembering your preferences, enabling functionality, and understanding how you use the website.
We also use localStorage, a similar browser storage mechanism, to remember your cookie consent preference.
2. What Cookies We Use
Alliance42 uses very few cookies. We do not use any marketing or advertising cookies, and we do not use analytics tracking services such as Google Analytics.

| crisp-client/* | Third-party (functional) | Enables live chat functionality | Session / 6 months | Crisp IM SAS |
| __next/* | Functional | Next.js session management | Session | First-party (alliance42.eu) |

3. How We Obtain Consent
When you first visit alliance42.eu, a cookie consent banner is displayed at the bottom of the page.
When you first visit, a notice explains our cookie usage. Clicking "Got it" dismisses the banner.
Essential cookies (such as Next.js session cookies) do not require your consent and are necessary for the website to function properly.
Crisp live chat cookies are only set when you click a chat button to start a conversation. No chat cookies are loaded until you actively choose to chat.
You can use our website fully without accepting non-essential cookies. We do not use cookie walls.
4. How to Withdraw Consent
You can withdraw your cookie consent at any time by:
- Clearing your browser's localStorage for alliance42.eu (this will cause the consent banner to reappear on your next visit)
- Contacting us at contact@alliance42.eu and requesting we guide you through the process
Clearing your browser data removes any Crisp chat cookies. They will only return if you start a new chat conversation.
5. How to Delete Cookies
You can delete cookies already stored on your device through your browser settings. Here is how in common browsers:
- Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Clear browsing data
- Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data
- Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data
Note that deleting cookies may affect your experience on other websites as well.
6. Third-Party Cookies
The only third-party cookies used on alliance42.eu come from Crisp IM SAS, our live chat provider. These cookies are only set when you actively start a chat conversation.
Crisp is a French company operating within the EU. You can read Crisp's privacy policy at: https://crisp.chat/en/privacy/
