What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device to remember things about you. Think of them as little sticky notes that help us make your experience better. We use them responsibly and only for legitimate purposes.

What Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies (Required)

These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly. You can't opt out of these because the site literally won't work without them:

• Authentication cookies: Keep you logged in so you don't have to sign in every time
• Session cookies: Remember your current session and preferences
• Security cookies: Help protect against fraud and keep your account secure

Analytics Cookies (Optional)

These help us understand how people use our service so we can make it better:

• Usage analytics: See which features are most popular and where people get stuck
• Performance monitoring: Track if the site is running smoothly
• Error tracking: Catch and fix bugs before they affect too many people

Personalization Cookies (Optional)

These remember your preferences to give you a more personalized experience:

• Theme preferences: Remember if you prefer light or dark mode
• Language settings: Keep track of your preferred language
• Feature preferences: Remember your favorite personas and settings

Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies to:

• Keep you logged in so you don't lose your conversations
• Remember your preferences and settings
• Make the site faster and more reliable

We don't use cookies to track you across other websites or sell your data to advertisers. That's not our style.

Third-Party Cookies

Sometimes we need to use services from other companies, and they might set their own cookies:

• Stripe: For processing payments (they have their own privacy policy)
• Analytics services: To understand how our service is performing
• Cloud services: For hosting and infrastructure

These third-party cookies are subject to their respective privacy policies. We only work with trusted partners who take privacy seriously.
