Cookie Policy

Last Updated: 28 March 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Aethernet ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at aethernetxs. We want to be clear about what data we collect and give you meaningful control over how it is used.

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They serve a range of functions — from keeping your session active to helping us understand how visitors engage with our content. You can manage your preferences using the controls on this page at any time.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small data files stored in your browser when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognise your device on return visits and remember certain information — such as your language preference or whether you've accepted a consent notice.

Most cookies contain a unique identifier — a string of characters assigned to your browser. Some cookies are deleted as soon as you close your browser (session cookies); others remain on your device for a set period (persistent cookies).

Technologies similar to cookies — such as web beacons, pixel tags, and local storage — may also be used for comparable purposes. This policy covers all such technologies under the general term "cookies".

Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Always Active — Cannot Be Disabled

These cookies are necessary for the website to function. They handle session management, maintain your cookie consent preferences, and support basic security features. Without them, the site cannot operate correctly.

Examples: Session token, consent preferences (cookieConsent), CSRF protection

Duration: Session or up to 12 months for consent records

Analytics Cookies

Optional — Your Choice

These help us understand how visitors use our website — which pages attract attention, how long people stay, and where they navigate next. This information is aggregated and used only to improve the site experience. No personally identifying data is extracted.

Examples: Google Analytics (_ga, _gid), page view counters

Duration: Up to 2 years (persistent)

Marketing Cookies

Optional — Your Choice

These cookies may be set by advertising platforms to track visits across websites. They help us understand the reach of any campaign we run, and may be used to show relevant content to visitors who've expressed interest in our services. We do not sell your data to third parties.

Examples: Facebook Pixel (_fbp), Google Ads remarketing, Bing UET

Duration: Up to 90 days (persistent)

Preference Cookies

Optional — Your Choice

These remember choices you make on our website — such as language settings or display preferences — so you don't have to re-enter them on each visit. They improve convenience without tracking your behaviour across other sites.

Examples: Language preference, UI layout settings

Duration: Up to 12 months (persistent)

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on this site are set by third-party services. We use these services to understand usage patterns and, where relevant, to reach potential clients who've visited our site before. The following third-party services may place cookies:

  • Google Analytics & Google Ads

    Tracks site visits and measures advertising performance. Governed by Google's privacy policy.

  • Meta (Facebook) Pixel

    Supports conversion tracking for any Meta advertising campaigns. Governed by Meta's data policy.

  • Microsoft Bing Ads (UET)

    Universal Event Tracking for Bing advertising campaigns. Governed by Microsoft's privacy statement.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these services directly. Aethernet does not control how third-party cookies operate once placed, but we do limit which third-party services we integrate with.

Cookie Duration

Session Cookies

These exist only while your browser tab is open. Once you close your browser, they are deleted automatically. They're used for things like keeping you logged into a form step or maintaining temporary state.

Persistent Cookies

These remain on your device for a defined period — anywhere from 30 days to 2 years depending on the cookie's purpose. They're used for preference memory, analytics continuity, and consent records.
