Cookie Policy
What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Similar tools (pixels, tags, local storage) do the same job: they let a website recognize your device, remember a choice or send information about your visit to a provider. Some are set by aivelli.com (first party), some by the services it uses (third party).
The 4 Categories
Every Cookie and Tracker
Durations are the maximum set by the provider; a cookie may be removed earlier when you clear your browser. Names and durations come from the providers’ published lists and the CookieYes scan of this website; third-party providers can change them.

Tools that set no cookie but send data to a provider
- Google Tag Manager (Google): loads the analytics and marketing tags after consent; sets no cookie itself.
- Google Fonts (Google): the site loads fonts from Google’s servers, which receive your IP address when the page loads.
- Calendly: “Book a free call” opens Calendly on calendly.com; Calendly’s own cookie policy applies there. No Calendly widget is embedded on aivelli.com.
- Email links: links in Aivelli newsletters carry a tracking parameter so Aivelli can count clicks; this is not a cookie and is described in the Privacy Policy.
How to Control Cookies
Cookie banner
On your first visit choose “Accept all”, “Reject all” or “Customize”. Both main buttons do what they say; there is no cookie wall.
Change your mind
Click “Cookie Settings” in the footer of any page and change your choices. Withdrawing consent stops the cookies from the moment you withdraw; cookies already on your device are removed when you clear them in your browser.
Browser settings
Every browser lets you block or delete cookies. Blocking necessary cookies may stop forms from working. Instructions for the most common browsers:
Opt-outs at the providers
Where the Data Goes
Google, Meta and LinkedIn process data in the United States under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; CleanTalk under standard contractual clauses; CookieYes in the UK and EU. Sections 9 and 10 of the Privacy Policy have the details and your rights. Their own policies: Google, Meta, LinkedIn.
Changes
Aivelli updates this policy when it adds or removes a tool and shows the new date at the top. The cookie banner is updated at the same time.
