Cookies Policy

This policy reflects Akuntsu’s current data practices and is undergoing review by Quebec legal counsel.

Last Updated: August 10, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Akuntsu Inc. uses cookies, web beacons, and browser storage technologies (including HTML5 localStorage and sessionStorage) on Akuntsu.com, Attractr, and Audience Lab, and how you can control them.

1. Privacy-by-Default (Quebec Law 25)

Quebec’s Law 25 requires explicit opt-in consent before any non-essential tracking technology — including cookies, web beacons, pixels, and browser local storage — is activated. In compliance:

Non-essential tracking technologies are disabled by default across Akuntsu.com and Attractr/Audience Lab.
No non-essential cookie, beacon, or local storage key is set until you take affirmative action via our consent banner.
Declining optional tracking does not affect your ability to browse, submit forms, download resources, or use your Attractr account.

2. What We Cover

Cookies — small text files placed on your device.
Web beacons / pixels — used in some email and analytics tools.
Browser storage (localStorage / sessionStorage) — used by some embedded tools (e.g., Tally forms, WordPress/Elementor) to persist state locally; treated identically to cookies under this Policy and Law 25.

3. Cookie & Storage Categories

Category	Purpose	Status	Typical Duration
Essential / Strictly Necessary	Session management, security, login state (Attractr)	Always active	Session, up to 7 days
Functional / Preference	Remembers your settings (e.g., language)	Optional	Up to 30 days
Analytics	Google Analytics 4 — anonymized traffic and performance measurement	Disabled by default; opt-in required	Up to 30 days
Marketing / Advertising	Third-party ad retargeting or profiling	Not currently used on either platform.	N/A

Attractr login/session cookies may persist longer (e.g., up to 30 days) for authenticated-user convenience, separate from Akuntsu.com’s marketing-site cookies, which should not persist beyond session or a few days absent a specific functional reason.

4. Tools in Use

Google Analytics 4 — anonymized/truncated IP, browser, pages viewed. Activated only on consent.
Tally — session-level cookies/storage supporting form and survey completion (essential).
Attractr/Audience Lab platform — authentication/session cookies and local storage to keep you logged in and maintain platform state (essential).
Sendbird / Whereby — session-level technical cookies supporting in-platform chat and video (essential to the specific feature in use).

For users in the European Economic Area, we obtain consent before setting non-essential cookies, consistent with GDPR requirements.

5. How to Control Cookies

Use the consent banner on first visit; revisit your preferences anytime via the footer link, or clear cookies/storage directly through your browser settings. Declining or clearing may require re-entering preferences or logging in again on Attractr.

Your Privacy Settings
We use essential cookies and local storage so our sites and platform work correctly. We’d also like to use optional analytics cookies to understand traffic and improve our services. In compliance with Quebec Law 25, optional tracking is off by default.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect new tools, legal requirements, or platform changes.
