Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how anmly.ai ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website and platform. This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy.

By using anmly.ai, you consent to our use of essential cookies. For non-essential cookies (analytics), you can manage your preferences through our cookie consent banner.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and provide information to website owners.

Cookies typically contain:

• The name of the website that placed the cookie
• The lifespan of the cookie (how long it stays on your device)
• A unique value/identifier

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies (Always Active)

These cookies are strictly necessary for the platform to function and cannot be disabled. They enable core functionality such as authentication, security, and session management.

Why we need these: Without authentication cookies, you would be unable to log in, stay logged in, or access your account and data. These cookies are essential for the platform's security and functionality.

3.2 Analytics Cookies (Optional - Requires Consent)

These cookies help us understand how users interact with our platform, which pages are visited most often, and where technical issues occur. You can opt out of these cookies via our cookie banner.

Why we use these: Analytics cookies help us improve the platform by understanding how it's used, identifying performance bottlenecks, and prioritizing feature development based on actual usage patterns.

3.3 Vercel Speed Insights

Part of our analytics implementation, Speed Insights measures real-world performance metrics:

• Page load times
• Time to interactive (TTI)
• First contentful paint (FCP)
• Largest contentful paint (LCP)
• Cumulative layout shift (CLS)

This data is anonymized and helps us optimize performance for all users.

4. Local Storage and Session Storage

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage and session storage to enhance your experience. These are similar to cookies but have different technical characteristics.

4.1 Local Storage Items

4.2 Supabase Session Storage

Supabase may also use session storage to temporarily cache authentication state during your browsing session. This data is automatically cleared when you close your browser.

5. Cookie Duration and Expiration

5.1 Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser. They enable core functionality during your visit.

5.2 Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period (or until you delete them). Our authentication cookies may persist for up to 7 days to keep you logged in between visits.

5.3 Cookie Lifespan Summary

• Authentication cookies: Up to 7 days or session-based
• Analytics: Enabled/disabled based on your consent (Vercel analytics products are designed to be cookie-less)
• Local storage: Persistent until manually cleared

6. Third-Party Cookies

6.1 What Are Third-Party Cookies?

Third-party cookies are set by domains other than anmly.ai. Currently, we do not use third-party cookies from advertising networks or social media platforms.

6.2 Third-Party Services

While we use third-party services (Supabase, Stripe, Vercel), the cookies they set are either:

• First-party cookies: Set by anmly.ai domain but managed by our service providers (e.g., Supabase auth)
• Embedded services: Stripe's payment forms may set their own cookies when you access the billing portal

6.3 Stripe Payment Cookies

When you access our billing portal or payment pages, Stripe may set cookies to:

• Prevent fraud and ensure payment security
• Remember your payment preferences
• Comply with PCI-DSS requirements

Stripe's cookie policy: https://stripe.com/cookies-policy/legal

7. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

7.1 Cookie Consent Banner

When you first visit anmly.ai, you'll see a cookie consent banner with options to:

• Accept All: Allow both essential and analytics cookies
• Essential Only: Only allow necessary authentication cookies

Your choice is stored in local storage and respected across all your visits. To change your preferences, clear your browser's local storage or cookies and revisit the site.

7.2 Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically:

• View and delete existing cookies
• Block all cookies (not recommended for our platform)
• Block third-party cookies only
• Clear cookies when you close the browser

How to manage cookies in popular browsers:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies

7.3 Impact of Blocking Cookies

Important: If you block or delete essential cookies, you will not be able to:

• Log in to your account
• Stay logged in between page visits
• Access your datasets and analyses
• Use any authenticated features of the platform

Blocking analytics cookies will not affect platform functionality, only our ability to gather usage statistics.

7.4 Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. While we respect user privacy, there is currently no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We rely on our cookie consent banner instead.

8. Cookies and Privacy Regulations
