Cookie Policy
Cookies are tiny pieces of text that websites ask your browser to keep so they can remember small settings from one visit to the next. This page tells you the full truth about the cookies and other small storage that Intelligent Singularity uses on intelligentsingularityinc.com.
We wrote this page to be boring on purpose. A good cookie story should not surprise anyone.
The short version
- We use one cookie, called NEXT_LOCALE, to remember your language.
- We do not use advertising cookies. We do not use analytics cookies. We do not use tracking pixels.
- No outside company sets cookies on these pages, because no outside companies are loaded on these pages.
- You may clear every cookie at any time through your browser’s settings and the site will still work.
The full list, in one table
NEXT_LOCALE — First-party preference cookie
Purpose: remembers the ISO code of the language you chose last time (for example "en" for English, "ar" for Arabic, or "zh-CN" for Simplified Chinese), so the next page opens in the same language.
Contents: a short letter-and-hyphen string. Nothing personal. No identifier we can link back to you.
Lifetime: one year, then it expires by itself. It is also re-set when you pick a new language.
Flags: SameSite=Lax; Secure in production. Never sent to any third party.
Things we purposely do not set
- No advertising cookies. The site shows no ads.
- No cross-site tracking cookies.
- No third-party analytics cookies (we do not run analytics of any kind on this site).
- No social-media embed cookies. We link out to social platforms instead of embedding them.
- No A/B-testing cookies. We test our ideas with real people in research sessions, not silently in production.
- No heatmap, session-replay, or behavioural cookies.
Other kinds of storage
Some websites use local storage, session storage, or the IndexedDB database to save larger information on your device. We do not use any of these on the corporate website. Our product sites may use them to keep you signed in or to store offline drafts; those product sites say so plainly on their own cookie pages.
Is a consent banner needed?
Consent banners are required when a website uses cookies that are not strictly necessary. The single preference cookie we set is strictly necessary to remember your language, a right supported by accessibility law. No other cookies are set. Because of that, we do not show a consent pop-up — showing one would be theatre, not protection.
If we ever add a cookie that is not strictly necessary, we will ask for your consent before it is set, with a clear choice to accept or decline, and the same default for every country.
How to clear cookies and storage
Every modern browser lets you clear cookies for one website or for all sites, either one at a time or all at once. If you delete the NEXT_LOCALE cookie, the site returns to the default language on your next visit. Nothing else changes.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Because we set no tracking cookies, there is nothing for a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal to disable. If you send one, we honour the spirit of it automatically, by not tracking you at all.
