1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make sites work, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser; persistent cookies remain until they expire or you delete them.
2. Does Athenous use cookies?
Yes. We use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) on our marketing website (athenous.io) to run the site, remember your cookie preferences, and—only if you consent—to analyze traffic (e.g. Google Analytics). We do not load analytics or other optional tracking until you choose “Accept all” or enable “Performance & Analytics” in Cookie preferences.
Legal basis: Essential cookies are used as necessary for the website to function and for security. Optional Performance & Analytics cookies are used only with your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
3. Cookie categories
We use the following categories of cookies. You can manage your choices at any time via Cookie preferences in the footer or in the cookie banner.
Essential
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They include cookies used for security, load balancing, and storing your cookie consent choice so we do not ask again on every visit. You cannot disable these without affecting how the site works.
Performance & Analytics (optional)
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our site (e.g. which pages are viewed, traffic sources). We may use Google Analytics (with IP anonymization) and/or PostHog for product analytics. These run only when you click “Accept all” or enable “Performance & Analytics” in the Cookie preferences panel.

5. How to manage or remove cookies
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking Cookie preferences in the footer of our site. This reopens the cookie banner so you can choose Essential only, Customize (to turn Performance & Analytics on or off), or Accept all.

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Links to manufacturer help pages:

6. More information
When analytics is enabled, providers such as Google and PostHog may process data outside your country. Where required, we rely on applicable transfer safeguards for these providers, such as adequacy decisions and/or standard contractual clauses.
