COOKIE POLICY

Last updated: July 22, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Ammar Althawab ("Company," "we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://usevertex.app ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Ammar Althawab) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., analytics and security). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first- and third-party cookies for a limited set of purposes: to operate the Website (essential/strictly necessary cookies), to verify that form submissions come from real people rather than bots, and to understand how visitors use the Website so we can improve it. We do not use cookies for advertising, ad targeting, or ad measurement, and we do not serve third-party advertisements on this Website.

The cookies we actually use

ProviderPurposeTypeDuration
Cloudflare TurnstileVerifies that form submissions (such as joining the waitlist) come from real people, not automated botsEssential[CONFIRM — typically short-lived, often 30 min–24 hrs depending on Cloudflare's Challenge Passage setting]
PostHogProduct analytics, session recordings (with sensitive input fields masked by default), and understanding how visitors use the reveal page, so we can improve itAnalytics[CONFIRM — PostHog's default distinct-ID cookie is typically persistent, often up to 1 year, unless configured otherwise]

We do not use cookies from any advertising network, ad-tech provider, or social media tracking pixel.

A note on governing law: this Cookie Policy uses standard international cookie-disclosure language. It does not independently address Saudi Arabia's Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), which is the primary law referenced in our Terms of Service. If PDPL imposes specific cookie-consent requirements beyond what's described here, this policy should be reviewed and updated accordingly — see the open legal-review item already tracked separately.

How can I control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can exercise your cookie choices by setting your preferences in the Cookie Preference Center, available in the notification banner and on our Website. Essential cookies (such as Cloudflare Turnstile, used for bot/fraud prevention) cannot be rejected, as they are strictly necessary to provide the Service securely. If you choose to reject non-essential cookies (such as PostHog analytics), you may still use our Website, and no functionality will be restricted as a result.

How can I control cookies on my browser?

As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information:

What about other tracking technologies, like web beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. PostHog's session recording and analytics features may use similar technologies to understand how the Website is used. In many instances, these technologies rely on cookies to function properly, so declining cookies will impair their functioning — this is expected and does not affect your ability to use the Website itself.

How often will you update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed. The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
