Cookie Policy

Effective Date: July 14, 2026

Last Updated: July 14, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Alpha Resolution Inc, a California corporation, doing business as inCube Social (“inCube Social,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website located at incubesocial.com and on our login-gated client portal (together, the “Site”). It describes what these technologies are, the categories we use, how third parties may set them, and the choices available to you, including your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, the “CCPA/CPRA”).

This Cookie Policy is part of, and should be read together with, our Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings given in those documents.

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

1.1 Cookies. A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your browser or device when you visit. Cookies allow the site to recognize your browser or device, remember information about your visit, and function correctly. Cookies may be “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or “persistent” cookies, which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them.

1.2 Similar technologies. In addition to cookies, we and our service providers may use related technologies that perform similar functions, including:

• Web beacons / pixels — small graphic files or code snippets that record whether and how you interact with a page or email;
• Local storage — browser-based storage (such as HTML5 local storage) that stores data on your device to support Site functionality;
• Software development kits and tags — code that helps deliver, measure, or secure the Site.

In this Cookie Policy, we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies” unless we state otherwise.

1.3 First-party vs. third-party cookies. “First-party cookies” are set by inCube Social. “Third-party cookies” are set by a party other than inCube Social — for example, a provider we use to host, secure, analyze, or process activity on the Site. See Section 4.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

• operate and secure the Site and the client portal;
• keep you signed in and maintain your session as you move between pages;
• remember your settings and preferences;
• process transactions and support recurring billing through our payment processor;
• understand how the Site is used so we can measure and improve performance; and
• where applicable and permitted, support marketing and measure the effectiveness of our communications.

We do not use cookies to collect the passwords to your social media accounts. Consistent with our core service model, access to your connected social media accounts is granted solely through each platform’s own authorization (OAuth) process administered through a third-party social media management platform; we do not ask for, store, or transmit those passwords. See our Privacy Policy for details.

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

We group cookies into four categories. The examples below are generic and illustrative; the specific cookies present on the Site at any time may vary as we update the Site, our plugins, and our service providers.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Site and the client portal to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions you take, such as logging in, filling in a form, submitting an upload through the Photo Drop, or completing a purchase. Without these cookies, core parts of the Site will not work. Because they are strictly necessary, they are generally not subject to opt-out.

Generic examples:

• Authentication and login/session cookies — recognize you when you sign in to the client portal and keep you signed in during your session (including WordPress-generated login and session cookies such as those in the general form wordpress_, wordpress_logged_in_, and wp-settings-*).
• Security and fraud-prevention cookies — help detect malicious activity, support login security, and protect the Site and its users.
• Cross-site request forgery / form-security tokens (nonces) — protect forms and submissions from tampering.
• E-commerce / checkout and cart cookies — where WooCommerce or a similar commerce layer is used, support cart contents, session state, and checkout (for example, cookies in the general form woocommerce_cart_hash, woocommerce_items_in_cart, and wp_woocommerce_session_*). These cookies do not store your full payment card number; card data is tokenized and handled by our payment processor.
• Load-balancing and routing cookies — help deliver the Site reliably.

3.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering choices you make. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.

Generic examples:

• Preference cookies — remember settings such as language, region, display options, or a previously entered value.
• Portal experience cookies — remember interface preferences within the client portal (for example, a dashboard view, a dismissed notice, or an approval-queue setting).
• Consent-state cookies — remember the cookie or privacy choices you have already made so we do not ask you again unnecessarily.

3.3 Analytics / Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors and clients use the Site so we can measure and improve performance. They collect information in an aggregated or pseudonymous form about pages visited, features used, errors encountered, and general usage patterns.

Generic examples:

• First-party and third-party analytics cookies — measure page views, sessions, navigation paths, and feature usage on the Site and in the portal.
• Performance and error-monitoring cookies — help us diagnose problems and improve reliability and speed.

Depending on your jurisdiction and our configuration, some analytics cookies may load only after you provide consent or may be treated as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under California law (see Section 6).

3.4 Marketing / Advertising Cookies

These cookies, where used, help us and our providers deliver, target, and measure marketing communications, and understand the effectiveness of our campaigns. They may record your visits to the Site and the pages you view.

Generic examples:

• Campaign-measurement and attribution cookies — help us understand which channels or referrals (including affiliate/referral links) led you to us, so we can measure and, where applicable, compensate referrals.
• Advertising and retargeting cookies — where used, may be set by third-party advertising or social platforms to show you relevant content on other sites and to measure ad performance.
• Email-engagement pixels — where used in our marketing emails, help us understand whether an email was opened or a link was clicked.

Marketing/advertising cookies, if deployed, are the category most likely to be treated as a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA. See Section 6.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies on the Site are set by third parties that provide services to us. We describe these providers by generic category rather than by name. These third parties may set their own cookies and use them subject to their own privacy and cookie policies, which we do not control.

Categories of third parties that may set cookies through the Site include:

• a payment processor that handles subscription billing and checkout (card data is tokenized; we do not store raw card numbers);
• a third-party social media management platform used to connect your social accounts through OAuth and to schedule and publish content;
• hosting, content-delivery, and security providers that deliver and protect the Site;
• analytics and performance providers that help us measure and improve the Site; and
• where applicable, advertising or social media platforms used for marketing measurement or retargeting.

We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie notices of any third-party platform whose services you access or connect. Your relationship with each social media platform is governed by that platform’s own terms.

5. Your Choices — How to Control or Disable Cookies

You have several ways to control cookies:

5.1 Cookie preference tool. Where we provide a cookie banner or preference center on the Site, you can use it to accept, reject, or manage non-essential cookies. You can typically re-open this tool at any time from a link in the Site footer.

5.2 Browser controls. Most web browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies through their settings. You can usually set your browser to warn you before accepting a cookie, to accept only certain cookies, or to reject all cookies. Refer to your browser’s “Help,” “Settings,” or “Privacy” menu. Common browsers include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge; each provides its own instructions for managing cookies.

5.3 Effect of blocking cookies. If you block or delete cookies, some parts of the Site may not function properly. In particular, disabling strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from logging in to the client portal, uploading through the Photo Drop, or completing a purchase.

5.4 Opting out of certain third-party cookies. Some third-party analytics and advertising providers offer their own opt-out mechanisms, and industry programs may offer consolidated opt-out tools. Because opt-outs are generally stored in a cookie, clearing your cookies or using a different browser or device may reset them.

5.5 California “Do Not Sell or Share” and Global Privacy Control. See Section 6 for California-specific opt-out rights, including our treatment of the Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signal.

6. Cookies and Your California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

6.1 Sale / sharing status. inCube Social does not sell your personal information for money, and does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, except that certain analytics or advertising cookies — if deployed — may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA.

6.2 How to opt out. To the extent any such “sale” or “sharing” occurs through cookies, you may opt out by:

• using the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link in our Site footer; and/or
• enabling a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in a supported browser or extension.

6.3 Global Privacy Control. Where we deploy cookies that constitute a “sale” or “sharing,” we treat an enabled GPC signal as a valid request to opt out for the browser or device from which it is sent, and we provide on-screen confirmation that the opt-out has been honored, as required by California law.

6.4 Your broader privacy rights. Your rights to know, access, delete, correct, opt out of sale/sharing, and limit the use of sensitive personal information — and how to exercise them — are described in full in our Privacy Policy. This Cookie Policy is intended to be read consistently with that Privacy Policy; if there is any conflict on a privacy-rights question, the Privacy Policy controls.

7. “Do Not Track” Signals

Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) setting that sends a signal to websites you visit. There is currently no uniform industry or legal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. Accordingly, unless we state otherwise, the Site does not respond differently to browser DNT signals. We do, however, honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as described in Section 6.3 to the extent required by California law.

8. Cookies, Content, and Uploads

Cookies described in this policy relate to your use of the Site and client portal. They are separate from the brand assets, images, and other content you provide to us (for example, through the Photo Drop) and from the social-account connection tokens obtained through OAuth. How we handle that information is described in our Privacy Policy and governed by our Terms of Service.

9. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use, in technology, or in applicable law. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last Updated” date above and, where required, provide additional notice. We review this Cookie Policy at least every twelve (12) months. Your continued use of the Site after an update takes effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Cookie Policy, except where additional consent is required by law.
