This Cookie Policy describes our use of cookies and similar technologies on the Haagah platform ("Haagah", "we", "our", or "us"), which hosts the Animus Project. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and the choices available to you.
This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service, which together form the complete agreement between you and Haagah. Our general posture toward personal data — including the Corpus you entrust to the platform — is set out in the Privacy Policy. This Policy addresses a narrower question: the technology by which your browser maintains state when you visit our website or use our web-based application.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are used to keep you authenticated across page navigations, to remember interface preferences, and to support security. Cookies are either session cookies, deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain for a set period or until you delete them.
Similar technologies we also use:
When this Policy refers to "cookies," it includes these similar technologies unless the context requires otherwise.
Haagah is a platform for the preservation of consciousness. It is not a surveillance product, and the economics of the platform do not depend on tracking you across the internet. Our use of cookies reflects this.
We do NOT use cookies for:

Haagah does not accept advertising and displays no advertisements. No cookie on the Haagah platform exists for advertising purposes.
This Policy applies to cookies used on:
These cookies are essential for the platform to function. They are set in direct response to actions you take, such as logging in. They cannot be disabled without preventing use of the platform.
Legal basis: Necessary for performance of our agreement with you (POPIA; GDPR Article 6(1)(b)) and for our legitimate interest in the security of the platform (POPIA; GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). Consent is not required for strictly necessary cookies.
These cookies allow us to measure platform reliability and identify technical issues.
Legal basis: Legitimate interest in a reliable and secure platform.
Can you opt out? Yes, via the cookie preferences control described in Section 4, or via browser settings. Core functionality is unaffected.
Legal basis: Legitimate interest in usability.
Can you opt out? Yes. Preferences will reset to defaults on each visit.
We engage a narrow set of providers who may set cookies. Every provider is contractually bound as described in Section 8.2 of our Privacy Policy.
If you sign in using a third-party identity provider, that provider sets its own cookies, governed by its terms. We receive only the information necessary to identify your account.
The provider that performs biometric verification during Animus creation may set cookies in its own flow. Those cookies are governed by the provider's terms and are present only during the verification process itself.
Our hosting and content-delivery providers may set technical cookies for load balancing and performance. They receive only the request metadata necessary to deliver the platform.
Our error-monitoring provider may set cookies to correlate errors with sessions. Personal information is removed from error data before submission.
We provide a cookie preferences control accessible from the platform footer and at any point from your account settings. You may accept all cookies, accept only strictly necessary cookies, or customize your preferences at a category level. Preferences can be changed at any time; changes are prospective.
All modern browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their privacy settings.
Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in.
| Cookie category | If disabled | | ------------------ | ------------------------------------------- | | Strictly necessary | Cannot sign in; platform is inaccessible | | Performance | Core functionality unaffected | | Functional | Core functionality works; preferences reset |
You may delete cookies at any time from your browser. Doing so will sign you out and reset stored preferences.
All Haagah cookies are transmitted over HTTPS only. Authentication cookies carry standard security attributes to resist common attacks. Session tokens are cryptographically signed. Credentials are never stored in cookies in any form.
We have a lawful basis for all cookie processing under POPIA. You may object to cookie processing on legitimate-interest grounds at privacy@haagah.com.
Information Regulator of South Africa:
For users in the EU, EEA, and UK, consent is obtained for non-essential cookies through the cookie preferences control described in Section 4 and may be withdrawn at any time.
We apply the highest applicable standard across jurisdictions in which we operate.
For material changes we will post an updated Policy with a revised date and display an in-platform notice. Continued use after the change takes effect constitutes acceptance.
