Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies to keep you logged in, secure the service, understand how it's used and, with your consent, to measure marketing performance. This policy explains every category we set, why we set it, and how you can opt out.
Cookie categories & retention
| Category | Examples | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Session, CSRF, auth tokens | Keep you logged in. Protect form submissions. Service cannot function without these. | Session – 24 hours |
| Functional | Locale, currency, theme | Remember your language, currency and UI preferences across visits. | 12 months |
| Performance / analytics | Pseudonymised page views, route timings | Aggregated, privacy-respecting analytics. Not used to identify individual visitors. | 14 months |
| Targeting / marketing | Ad-platform conversion pixels, attribution IDs | Only set if you opt in via the consent banner. Used to measure ad performance. | 90 days |
Third-party cookies we may set
- Analytics: a privacy-first analytics provider that anonymises IPs before storage.
- Support widget: if you open the in-app chat, a session cookie is set by our helpdesk vendor to maintain the conversation thread.
- Payment processor: Stripe / PayPal / Razorpay set their own cookies on payment pages — these are governed by their respective policies.
Controlling cookies on AI4WEB
On your first visit, a consent banner asks which non-essential categories you accept. You can change your preferences any time by clicking Cookie settings in the footer. Withdrawing consent does not affect the strictly-necessary category, which is required for the service to work.
Controlling cookies in your browser
You can clear cookies entirely or block them by default in your browser settings. Doing so will sign you out and require you to re-accept on your next visit.

Do Not Track
We honour the Sec-GPC: 1 (Global Privacy Control) header. When detected, we treat the request as a withdrawal of consent for performance and marketing cookies. Most browsers' "Do Not Track" header has been deprecated and is no longer reliable — GPC has replaced it.
Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove cookies, or when retention periods change. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent change.
