The short version: Aptly uses two kinds of cookies. Strictly necessary ones keep you signed in and remember your preferences. Analytics cookies (off by default) help us understand how Aptly is used. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking for ad personalisation.
A cookie is a small piece of data stored in your browser by a website you visit. Cookies are commonly used to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, or measure how a site is used. Aptly also uses browser localStorage, which behaves similarly but is not technically a cookie.
For our broader data practices, see the Privacy Policy.
Strictly necessary. Required for Aptly to work. These cannot be turned off. Examples: keeping you signed in, remembering your cookie choices.
Analytics. Help us understand how Aptly is used so we can improve it. Off by default. Only set if you give consent.
