Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how AB-Labz uses cookies and similar technologies on the marketing website (ab-labz.com) and the platform (workbench.ab-labz.com).
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to recognize your browser and store certain information between visits. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage, which serve comparable purposes.
2. Cookies We Use
2.1 Essential Cookies (Platform)
The Workbench application uses essential cookies and session storage to:
- Authenticate users and maintain login sessions
- Store UI preferences (e.g. language, display settings)
- Ensure security and stable operation of the platform
These cookies are required for the platform to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking your session. They do not track you for marketing purposes.
2.2 Analytics Cookies (Marketing Website)
The marketing website (ab-labz.com) uses Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors find and use the site. Google Analytics:
- Collects anonymized visitor statistics (page views, session duration, traffic source)
- Does not identify individual visitors
- Is configured with IP anonymization enabled
- Is not used for advertising or remarketing
Google Analytics cookies set on the marketing site have a lifetime of up to 2 years (GA4 session cookies expire after 30 minutes of inactivity; the _ga identifier persists for 2 years).
2.3 Advertising and Tracking Cookies
AB-Labz does not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking pixels, or remarketing tags on any of its properties. No cookie data is shared with advertising platforms.
