Cookies Policy

Last updated: 24 June 2026

This Cookies Policy explains how Aware Index uses cookies and similar technologies on awareindex.com. Aware Index is operated by SmartSec Academy OÜ.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files that a website or service may place on your device. Similar technologies can include local storage, pixels, scripts and security identifiers. They can be used to make a site work, protect it, remember settings, measure usage or support advertising.

2. Our approach

The Aware Index website is designed to operate without analytics cookies, advertising cookies, behavioural tracking pixels or marketing profiling. We do not use cookies to build advertising profiles or sell information about your browsing activity.

We use a consent management tool to detect cookies and similar technologies on the website and to record any consent choices where required. A consent banner may be shown so you can review and manage non-essential cookies. The consent tool itself may set a necessary cookie to remember your choice. The current cookies and similar technologies detected on this website are listed in the Cookie Declaration at the foot of this page. If non-essential cookies are introduced later, consent will be requested where required before they are used.

3. Strictly necessary technologies

Cloudflare provides website hosting, content delivery, DNS and security services. Cloudflare may process technical request data and may use strictly necessary cookies or similar security mechanisms when needed to protect the site, manage traffic, prevent abuse or verify that a request is legitimate.

These technologies are necessary for the website and security features to function. They are not used by Aware Index for advertising or behavioural analytics.

4. External forms and payments

Aware Index may link to an external Tally form for snapshot or service requests and to an external Stripe page for payments. When you follow an external link, you leave awareindex.com. Tally, Stripe and any other external service may use cookies or similar technologies under their own policies and controls.

These services open on their own domains rather than being embedded directly into the Aware Index website. Their cookies are not set by the Aware Index page before you choose to visit the external service.

5. Other external links

The website may link to SmartSec Academy, AI/search platforms or other third-party websites. Those sites control their own cookies and privacy practices. Please review their notices when you visit them.

6. Browser controls

Most browsers allow you to view, block or delete cookies through browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies or security technologies may prevent some websites or external services from working correctly.

7. Changes to this policy

We will update this Cookies Policy if the website begins using analytics, embedded services, advertising tools or other non-essential technologies. The latest version and date will be published on this page.

8. Contact
