Cookie Policy
Version 0.1, 9 November 2026.
Our solicitor is reviewing this document. Any change will be published here with a new version date.
Recon is a service of ALPN Digital Ltd.
1. The short version
- We use a small number of cookies and similar storage on get-recon.com and app.get-recon.com.
- Some are strictly necessary, for example to keep you signed in. They run without asking.
- Analytics cookies run only if you agree.
- You can change your choice at any time with the "Cookie settings" link. It is in the footer of every page of get-recon.com. In the Portal it is in the account menu, at the bottom of the side menu.
- Questions: hello@get-recon.com.
2. Who we are
2.1 ALPN Digital Ltd ("ALPN", "we", "us") runs get-recon.com and app.get-recon.com. We are a company registered in England and Wales with company number 17062799. Our registered office is Gorsuch Place, Shoreditch Exchange, Senna Building, London, E2 8JF.
2.2 This policy covers:
- our website, get-recon.com;
- the Live Portal at app.get-recon.com (the Portal), where our Customers' users and Senders sign in; and
- Senders' public booking pages at app.get-recon.com/book/ followed by the Sender's name.
2.3 Our Privacy Policy at get-recon.com/privacy explains how we use personal data. Words with capitals have the meaning given there.
3. What cookies and similar storage are
3.1 A cookie is a small text file a website saves in your browser. The website can read it on later visits.
3.2 Local storage works in a similar way. It keeps information in your browser until it is cleared.
3.3 Session storage keeps information only for the browser tab you have open. It goes when you close the tab.
3.4 In this policy, "cookies" includes all three, unless we say otherwise.
3.5 UK law lets us use cookies that are strictly necessary for a service you ask for without your consent. For anything else, such as analytics, we ask first.
4. Your choices
4.1 The first time you visit get-recon.com or app.get-recon.com, a banner asks whether you accept analytics. It has two equal buttons: "Accept analytics" and "Reject analytics".
4.2 Until you choose, and if you reject, PostHog is not loaded at all. Nothing is sent to PostHog and no "ph_" items are set on your device.
4.3 To change your choice later, use the "Cookie settings" link. It is in the footer of every page of get-recon.com. In the Portal it is in the account menu, at the bottom of the side menu. If you withdraw consent, PostHog stops at once. We also delete the "ph_" cookie and the "ph_" local storage and session storage items from your browser.
4.4 We remember your choice in a first-party cookie called recon_consent. It is set for get-recon.com and its subdomains, so one choice covers the website and the Portal. It lasts 182 days (about 6 months). After that we ask again. This cookie is strictly necessary.
4.5 Your browser settings also let you block or delete cookies. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the Portal, such as signing in, will not work.
5. Strictly necessary cookies
These run without consent. Without them, the website and the Portal cannot do what you ask.
5.1 Signing in

| tsr-scroll-restoration-v1_3 | ALPN | Remembers how far you scrolled on each page, so going back takes you to the same place | Until you close the tab | Session storage (get-recon.com and app.get-recon.com) |
6. Analytics cookies (only if you agree)
6.1 These help us see how people use the website and the Portal, so we can fix what breaks and improve what does not help. They run only after you choose "Accept analytics".
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ph_phc_Ayy9Vs7QZdVmfnifM7nrsp6ovCdvmFfpFRTsDkVNsbVZ_posthog | PostHog, our analytics provider | Gives your browser a random identifier and remembers details of your visits, so PostHog can count visits and see how people move through pages. It is set for get-recon.com and its subdomains, so the same identifier is used on the website and in the Portal. When you sign in to the Portal, it is linked to your email address. | 365 days | Cookie, with the same information kept in local storage |
| ph_phc_Ayy9Vs7QZdVmfnifM7nrsp6ovCdvmFfpFRTsDkVNsbVZ_window_id, ph_phc_Ayy9Vs7QZdVmfnifM7nrsp6ovCdvmFfpFRTsDkVNsbVZ_primary_window_exists | PostHog | Tell apart the browser windows and tabs you have open, so each visit is recorded correctly | Until you close the tab | Session storage |
6.2 PostHog also uses its cookie to decide which version of a page you see when we test two versions of a page, for example two headlines on our home page. You keep the same version on later visits. Without your consent this test does not run, and you see the standard headline.
6.3 PostHog also records sessions, which shows how you move through pages. Anything you type is hidden. This runs only with your consent. In the Portal, a recording can show business data on screen, such as Customer and prospect details.
6.4 The "ph_" items are stored in your browser in both a cookie and local storage. Before you accept, and after you reject or withdraw, none of them exist on your device. If your browser still holds Google Analytics cookies (names starting "_ga", and "_gid") from before we stopped using Google Analytics, we delete them unless you have accepted analytics.
7. Measurement without cookies
7.1 Vercel, which hosts our website and the Portal, measures page visits and page speed for us. These run without your consent.
7.2 Vercel Web Analytics counts visits. Vercel says it works "without using any third-party cookies". It identifies a visitor by "a hash created from the incoming request", and the session is "automatically discarded after 24 hours".
7.3 Vercel Speed Insights reports how fast pages load. Vercel says the data is anonymous and "not tied to, or associated with, any individual visitor or IP address".
7.4 We do not set any cookie or storage item on your device for this measurement.
8. Other websites we link to
8.1 Cal.com. Our "Book a call" button is a link to Cal.com. It is not built into our pages. When you click it, you leave our website. Cal.com may set its own cookies on cal.com, under Cal.com's own cookie and privacy policies. We do not control them.
8.2 Google sign-in. When a Sender connects a Google calendar, the Portal sends them to Google to sign in. Google sets its own cookies on its own websites, under Google's policies.
8.3 Our website may link to other websites. Their cookies are covered by their own policies.
9. If you visit a Customer's website that uses Recon tracking
9.1 Some of our Customers add Recon's tracking to their own websites, to see which visitors engage with their messages. On those websites, a cookie called _alpn_uid may be set on the Customer's own website address.
9.2 That cookie is not set on get-recon.com and is not covered by this policy. The Customer is the controller for it. The Customer is responsible for asking for your consent and for explaining it in its own cookie and privacy policies. Please contact the Customer about it.
10. Changes to this policy
10.1 When we add, remove or change a cookie, we update this policy and publish it with a new version number and date.
10.2 If a change needs your consent, we ask you again.
