Last updated: July 16, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how AlternatHistory.net (“the Website,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website.

This Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we process personal information, and our Terms of Use, which govern the use of the Website.

By continuing to use AlternatHistory.net, you acknowledge that cookies and similar technologies may be used as described in this Policy, subject to your preferences and applicable law.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a website to recognize your browser, remember certain information, improve performance, enhance security, and provide a better browsing experience.

Cookies themselves generally do not contain information that directly identifies an individual. However, information collected through cookies may become associated with other information where permitted by law.

In addition to cookies, the Website may use similar technologies, including local storage, web beacons, pixels, scripts, software development kits (SDKs), and server-side identifiers. Throughout this Policy, these technologies are collectively referred to as “cookies.”

Why We Use Cookies

Cookies help us operate the Website efficiently and understand how visitors interact with our content.

Depending on your preferences and the services enabled on the Website, cookies may be used to:

remember your cookie preferences;
improve website performance;
analyze visitor behavior;
measure readership and traffic;
personalize certain features;
support advertising where applicable;
prevent fraud and abuse.

We do not use cookies to identify you personally unless this is necessary for a service you have requested or otherwise permitted under applicable law.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are necessary for the operation of the Website. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, security protections, load balancing, and remembering privacy choices.

Because these cookies are required for the Website to function correctly, they cannot normally be disabled through our cookie preference system.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember choices you make while using the Website, such as language preferences, interface settings, or other customization options.

These cookies improve your browsing experience but are not strictly necessary for basic website functionality.

Analytics information is generally used in aggregated or pseudonymized form to improve the Website and understand reader interests.

Where required by applicable law, analytics cookies are used only after you have provided the appropriate consent.

If advertising is displayed on AlternatHistory.net, advertising partners may use cookies to:

display advertisements;
measure advertising performance;
limit the number of times an advertisement is shown;

Advertising cookies are generally placed by third-party advertising providers rather than by AlternatHistory.net itself.

Where required by law, advertising cookies are activated only after your consent has been obtained.

Third-Party Cookies

Some pages of the Website may include content or services provided by third parties, such as embedded videos, social media widgets, advertising, maps, analytics tools, comment systems, or other interactive services.
