Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. Some make the site work. Others tell us which pages people actually read.

Here’s exactly what alphaobedience.com uses, and how to switch any of it off.

What we use

Necessary — the site breaks without these

Set by	Purpose
WordPress	Keeps the site running and remembers basic preferences
LiteSpeed Cache	Serves pages faster by storing a temporary copy
Contact Form 7	Lets the contact form submit properly
Google reCAPTCHA	Stops automated spam reaching the contact form

These can’t be turned off from within the site. Blocking them in your browser will break the contact form.

Analytics — how the site is used

Set by	Purpose
Google Analytics 4	Which pages are visited, for how long, on what device, roughly where from

We use this to see which pages are useful and which aren’t. It’s aggregate and statistical. We don’t use it to identify individual visitors.

Advertising — whether our ads work

Set by	Purpose
Google Ads	Records when someone who clicked one of our ads goes on to contact us

We run Google Ads. This tells us which ads are worth paying for. It doesn’t tell us who you are.

Third-party — set by embedded content

Set by	Where it appears
Google Maps	Service area maps, on most pages
Instagram (Meta)	The photo feed on our Gallery page

When this content loads, Google and Meta can see that you visited the page and may set their own cookies. We don’t control that. Their privacy policies apply.

How to turn cookies off

In your browser — every browser lets you block or delete cookies:

Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies
Safari — Settings → Privacy
Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security
Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Google Analytics specifically — install Google’s opt-out browser add-on, which stops Analytics on every site you visit, not just ours.

Google advertising — adjust what Google uses for ads at Google Ad Settings.

Blocking necessary cookies will stop the contact form working. Blocking analytics and advertising cookies won’t affect your experience of the site at all.
