1. Overview
SF AI Consultants uses a small number of cookies and similar technologies on sfaiconsultants.com (the "Site"): security cookies set by our content delivery provider, a record of your cookie choice, analytics storage set by PostHog, which we use to understand how the Site is used, a session-only record of the campaign that brought you to the Site, and, after you open a booking window on the Site, cookies set by our scheduling provider, Calendly. We do not use advertising cookies. This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
2. Cookies and similar technologies
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Websites can also store information in your browser's local storage, which persists until it is cleared, and session storage, which is cleared when you close the browser tab. In this policy, "cookies" covers all three.
First-party cookies are set by the site you are visiting; on this Site, that means sfaiconsultants.com and its subdomains. Third-party cookies are set by a different domain.
3. Strictly necessary: security
The Site is delivered through Cloudflare. To protect the Site against bots and abuse, Cloudflare may set the following cookies. They are strictly necessary for security, do not identify you, and are not used for analytics or advertising. Cloudflare sets them only when a security check is shown or a rate limit applies to your request; a normal visit sets neither.
| Name | Type | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
cf_clearance | Cookie (first‑party) | Cloudflare | Records that your browser passed a security check, so it is not shown again | 30 minutes |
_cfuvid | Cookie (first‑party) | Cloudflare | Distinguishes visitors who share an IP address, for rate limiting | Browser session |
We also keep a record of your choice in the cookie banner, so that we do not ask again on every page. It contains only your choice and the date you made it.
| Name | Type | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
sfai_consent | Local storage | SF AI Consultants | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies, and when | 12 months, then we ask again |
Our hosting provider, Vercel, does not set cookies for visitors to the Site.
4. Analytics
We use PostHog to measure how the Site is used: which pages are visited, how visitors arrive, which links and buttons are used, and how pages perform. PostHog stores a random identifier for your browser and the current session, so that several page views can be counted as one visit and one visitor. The identifier does not contain your name or email address. The analytics cookie is set for sfaiconsultants.com and its subdomains.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, or we cannot tell where you are, none of the storage below is set until you select Accept in the cookie banner. Elsewhere it is set when the page loads, unless you select Reject.
| Name | Type | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ph_ | Cookie (first‑party) | PostHog | Stores the random visitor identifier and the current session identifier | 1 year, renewed on each visit |
ph_ | Local storage | PostHog | Stores analytics state such as the identifiers, the first referring site and campaign parameters | Until you clear site data |
ph_, ph_ | Session storage | PostHog | Tells browser tabs apart within one visit | Until the tab is closed |
dmn_chk | Cookie (first‑party) | PostHog | Written once to find the top-level domain for the analytics cookie, then deleted immediately | Deleted immediately |
In these names, <project key> is the public key of our PostHog project. PostHog processes analytics data in the United States. More information is in PostHog's privacy policy.
5. Campaign attribution
If you arrive on the Site through a link that carries campaign parameters (utm_source or utm_campaign), the Site keeps those two values for the rest of your visit once a signup form has loaded on the page, so that a newsletter signup or download request made on a later page is attributed to the campaign that brought you here. Nothing is stored if the link has no campaign parameters. Where analytics cookies need your consent, this value is stored only after you accept them.
| Name | Type | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
sfai_utm | Session storage | SF AI Consultants | Keeps the campaign source and campaign name from the link you arrived through, and sends them with a signup form you submit | Until the tab is closed |
6. Third-party services
Calendly. When you use a booking link, our scheduling page opens on Calendly, either in a window on the Site or on calendly.com. When you click a booking link that opens in a window on the Site, the Site loads Calendly's scheduling script and stylesheet from Calendly's servers at that moment; simply viewing a page sends nothing to Calendly. Loading these files gives Calendly technical information such as your IP address and browser type, and Calendly's content delivery network may set the security cookie below. When the booking window opens, or when you visit calendly.com, Calendly may set further cookies under its own cookie notice. We do not control Calendly's cookies.
| Name | Type | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm | Cookie (third‑party, calendly.com) | Calendly (through Cloudflare) | Distinguishes people from automated bots when Calendly’s script is delivered | 30 minutes |
Links to other sites. Links to LinkedIn, X, Clutch, Upwork, Google Forms and Google Drive are ordinary links. Those services set cookies only after you follow a link to them.
7. What we do not use
- No advertising or retargeting cookies, and no advertising pixels (for example, from Meta, Google Ads or LinkedIn).
- No third-party analytics tags other than PostHog.
- No embedded social media widgets or videos that set cookies when the page loads.
- No requests to Google Fonts or other font services: our fonts are served from our own hosting.
8. Your choices
Where the law requires it (in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), and whenever we cannot tell where you are, we ask for your consent before setting analytics cookies. Visitors elsewhere can reject analytics cookies the same way. You can change your choice at any time with the button below or the Cookie settings link in the site footer. If you withdraw consent, we delete the analytics storage from your browser.
You can block or delete cookies and site data at any time in your browser settings. Most browsers also let you block cookies for a single site. Blocking the analytics storage listed above does not affect how the Site works. Blocking Cloudflare's security cookies may cause security checks to be shown more often.
Help pages for common browsers: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge.
9. Changes to this policy
We update this policy when the cookies we use change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised.
