Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 28, 2026
1. About This Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Apaluma, Inc. ("the Company," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on apaiuma.com. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
Apaluma operates a narrow-purpose tool: we help county planning departments and permit professionals search government document archives. Our cookie use reflects that functional scope. We do not run advertising networks, we do not sell data to third-party marketers, and our analytics are limited to understanding how the site is being used so we can improve it.
2. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow us to recognise your device, store preferences, and measure usage. We also use related technologies such as local storage (for example, to remember whether you have dismissed the cookie notice).
3. How We Use Cookies
| Category | Examples | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | session, CSRF token, cookie-banner state | session - 12 months |
| Preferences | language, theme | up to 12 months |
| Analytics | self-hosted analytics, anonymised | up to 13 months |
| Marketing | not currently used | -- |
Cookies are never used to process or track individuals appearing in document archives submitted by agency customers. That data flow is entirely separate from site visitor analytics.
4. Notice and Choice
By continuing to use the Service, you consent to our use of cookies as described above. You can opt out of analytics cookies through our cookie banner or by configuring your browser. The banner notice appears when you first visit the site and can be reopened at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the page footer.
5. Universal Opt-Out Signals
Where applicable state law requires (e.g., California, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Oregon), we honour browser-transmitted opt-out signals such as the Global Privacy Control ("GPC") for sale and targeted-advertising categories. Because we do not sell personal information and do not use cookies for targeted advertising, GPC signals at this site result in suppression of analytics initialisation as a precautionary measure.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies may be set by third parties acting as our service providers (for example, analytics). We have agreements with such providers limiting their use of data. No third-party advertising or retargeting cookies are present on this site.
7. Managing Cookies
- Use our cookie banner to opt out of analytics.
- Browser settings allow you to block or delete cookies; see aboutcookies.org for instructions.
8. Changes and Contact
We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date will reflect any change.
