Cookie Policy

Last updated: 2024-06-01

This Cookie Policy explains how AirGlen ("AirGlen", "we", "us", or "our"), operating airglen.com (the "Site"), uses cookies, localStorage, and similar tracking technologies when you visit our air purifier review website. By continuing to use the Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. Local storage is a similar browser-based technology that allows a website to store small amounts of data directly in your browser, without an expiration date, until it is manually cleared. AirGlen uses both types of technology in a limited and privacy-conscious manner, described below.

Cookie Consent Banner and Local Storage

When you first visit airglen.com, a cookie consent banner appears asking whether you accept or decline non-essential cookies, including analytics. Your response is stored using your browser's localStorage feature, not as a traditional cookie. This stored value allows the Site to remember your preference so the banner does not reappear on every visit.

Purpose: To remember whether you accepted or declined optional cookies.
Type: Browser localStorage entry (not sent to our servers).
Duration: Persists until you clear your browser storage or change your choice.
Necessity: This storage item is considered strictly necessary to operate the consent mechanism itself and is used regardless of your choice.

Analytics Cookies

If you click "Accept" on the consent banner, AirGlen will load analytics cookies to help us understand how visitors use the Site — for example, which air purifier reviews and comparison pages are most popular, how long visitors stay, and which pages lead to exits. These cookies are only set after your explicit consent and are never activated if you decline or ignore the banner beyond its default state.

Purpose: Website usage analysis, performance measurement, and content improvement.
Type: Third-party analytics cookies (e.g., from providers such as Google Analytics).
Duration: Varies by provider, typically between 24 hours and 2 years.
Necessity: Non-essential — loaded only with your consent.

Third-Party Cookies

Our analytics provider(s) may set their own cookies once you have consented to analytics tracking. These third parties operate independently of AirGlen and maintain their own privacy and cookie policies. We do not control the specific data collection practices of third-party analytics services beyond configuring them to respect your consent choice. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any analytics providers we use for more detailed information about their data practices.

AirGlen does not use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or cross-site tracking cookies at this time.

What We Do Not Use

No advertising or retargeting cookies
No social media tracking pixels
No cross-device tracking
No sale of personal data derived from cookies

How to Withdraw or Change Your Consent

You can withdraw or change your cookie consent at any time by clearing your browser's local storage and cookies for airglen.com. Once cleared, the consent banner will reappear on your next visit, allowing you to make a new choice.

To clear your browser storage:

Chrome: Go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear Browsing Data, then select "Cookies and other site data" and "Cached images and files."
Firefox: Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data > Clear Data.
Safari: Go to Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data, then remove data for airglen.com.
Edge: Go to Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data.

Alternatively, most browsers allow you to view and delete site data for a single website directly from the address bar's site information menu.

Browser Controls

In addition to clearing existing data, you can configure your browser to block cookies and local storage entirely or to alert you when a website attempts to set them. Please note that blocking all storage technologies may affect the functionality of the consent banner itself, causing it to reappear on every page load.

Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or the analytics tools we use. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
