COOKIE_POLICY

Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site owners. Cookies can be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (stored for a defined period).

Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third-party services embedded in that website ("third-party cookies").

Because we use only strictly necessary cookies, we are not required to display a cookie consent banner under the ePrivacy Directive. However, we are providing this policy in full transparency so you understand exactly what is set on your device.

Under the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR, cookies that are strictly necessary for a service explicitly requested by the user do not require prior consent. This exemption covers all cookies we set, as they are required solely for:

• Providing the authenticated service you have signed up for (session management)
• Protecting the security of your account and our systems (CSRF protection)
• Processing a payment you have initiated (Stripe fraud prevention)

Legal basis under GDPR: Art. 6(1)(b) — Contract performance and Art. 6(1)(f) — Legitimate interests (security and fraud prevention).

Stripe cookies (__stripe_mid and __stripe_sid) are set only when you navigate to a checkout page to purchase a Pro subscription. They are not set on any other page of AiTrackr.

These cookies are subject to Stripe's own privacy policy: stripe.com/privacy

Stripe is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. Data processed by these cookies is used exclusively for fraud detection and payment integrity — not for advertising.

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Below are links to cookie management instructions for the most common browsers:

Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Since we do not engage in cross-site tracking, behavioural advertising, or analytics, there is no meaningful change in our behaviour in response to a DNT signal. We do not track you regardless.

We will update this Cookie Policy if we add new cookies or our use of cookies changes materially. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top. We will notify users of material changes via email.
