Cookie Policy
Human by Design Ltd. | Humans.id
Version 3 | May 2026
This Cookie Policy applies to https://humans.id/ and https://app.myhumans.id/ and explains how Humans.id uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and platform.
This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which governs how we process personal data more broadly. Where cookies collect personal data, the Privacy Policy applies.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide website owners with information about how visitors use their site. In addition to cookies, similar technologies such as pixels, local storage, and session storage may be used for comparable purposes and are also covered by this policy.
2. How We Obtain Your Consent
When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline each category of non-essential cookies individually. Essential cookies are placed without consent as they are strictly necessary for the website to function.
You may withdraw or change your consent at any time by clicking the cookie settings link in the footer of our website. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
3.1 Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are strictly necessary for our website and platform to function. They enable core features such as page navigation, secure login, and session management. They cannot be switched off via our cookie consent mechanism as the website cannot function properly without them.
Lawful basis: legitimate interest in providing a functioning website. No consent required.
| Cookie name | Provider | Category | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| __session | Humans.id | Essential | Manages the user session after logging in to the platform | Session |
| __csrf_token | Humans.id | Essential | Protects against Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks | Session |
| cookie-consent (localStorage) | Humans.id | Essential | Stores your cookie preferences so the banner does not appear on every visit. Held in browser localStorage, not as a cookie — equivalent under PECR. | Until cleared by you or by version bump |
3.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, for example which pages are visited most often and whether any error messages are received. Information collected is aggregated and anonymised where possible.
Lawful basis: consent. These cookies are only placed if you have opted in via our cookie consent banner.
No analytics cookies are currently in use. This table will be updated when analytics tools are activated.
3.3 Functional Cookies
Functional cookies allow our website to remember your preferences, such as language or display settings, and to provide enhanced functionality.
Lawful basis: consent. These cookies are only placed if you have opted in via our cookie consent banner.
| Cookie name | Provider | Category | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| lang | Humans.id | Functional | Stores the user's chosen language preference | 1 year |
| ui_theme | Humans.id | Functional | Stores the user's display preference (light or dark theme) | 1 year |
3.4 Targeting and Retargeting Cookies
Targeting trackers identify visitors who have engaged with our outbound email marketing, so our team can prioritise warm follow-ups and measure how our campaigns perform. They are only ever loaded after you actively opt in to the Marketing category in our cookie consent banner, and never before.
Lawful basis: consent. These trackers are only placed if you have opted in via our cookie consent banner.
| Cookie name | Provider | Category | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lemlist visitor tracking | Lemlist (lemlist.com) | Targeting | Identifies visits from recipients of our outbound email campaigns, so our team can prioritise warm follow-ups and measure campaign quality. Loaded only after you opt in to the Marketing category. | Per Lemlist (see lemlist.com privacy policy) |
Targeting cookies will never be placed without your active opt-in consent.
4. Third-Party Cookies
We use one third-party visitor tracker, Lemlist, listed in the Targeting and Retargeting Cookies table above and loaded only after you opt in to the Marketing category. Where we add further third-party services such as analytics or advertising tools in the future, this section will be updated to list the relevant third parties and link to their privacy policies.
5. How to Manage Cookies
You can change your mind at any time by clicking Cookie preferences in the footer of any page. That re-opens the same banner shown on your first visit so you can update which categories you consent to. Your choice replaces any previous choice immediately.
You can also control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of our website.
