What we store on your device, and why
Last updated: 21 September 2026
Two kinds of thing are stored on your device when you use AI Cordon. The first kind is needed for the site to work at all — without it you cannot stay signed in, and we cannot remember that you asked us not to track you. The second kind measures how the site is used, and it loads only if you allow it.
Declining changes nothing about how AI Cordon works. Every page, the calculator, the dashboard and the API behave exactly the same either way; we do not make access depend on your answer.
Strictly necessary — no consent asked
These are exempt from consent under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive, because without them the service you asked for cannot be delivered. They are listed here because you are still entitled to know they exist.
| Name | Set by | What it does | Kept for | Kind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| session | AI Cordon | Keeps you signed in to the dashboard. Set only after you log in, on the app origin, and unreadable to scripts (HttpOnly). | 30 days | Cookie |
| aic_consent | AI Cordon | Remembers the answer you gave on the cookie bar, so you are not asked again on every page. Set on the parent domain so one answer covers the site and the dashboard. | 12 months if you allow analytics, 6 months if you decline | Cookie |
| mixcalc.custom | AI Cordon | Keeps the traffic mixture you typed into the metrics calculator, so a reload does not discard your work. Never leaves your browser. | Until you clear site data | Local storage |
| __cf_bm, _cfuvid | Cloudflare | Set by our CDN to tell automated traffic from people and to keep a request on one connection. They carry no profile and are not used for advertising. | 30 minutes / browser session | Cookie |
Analytics — only with your consent
Nothing below is requested, and no request is even sent to its provider, until you choose “Allow analytics”. If you decline, or if you have never answered, the code is not loaded. If you allow it and later change your mind, these cookies are deleted at the moment you withdraw.
| Name | Set by | What it does | Kept for | Kind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_<id> | Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC) | Counts visits and page views, and distinguishes a returning browser from a new one, so we can see which pages are actually read. No account data is sent to it. | Up to 13 months | Cookie |
Google Analytics is operated by Google LLC in the United States; Google states that it is certified under the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Our own servers see only the page request itself.
Changing or withdrawing your answer
Use the Cookies link in the footer of any page. It reopens the bar, shows what you chose last time, and takes a new answer — withdrawing is exactly as easy as consenting, which is what Article 7(3) of the GDPR requires. Your browser's own settings also work, and block or delete cookies regardless of what we do.
If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a refusal and do not ask: an answer has already been given. You can still opt in from the footer link.
We ask again only when your recorded answer lapses, or when a new purpose appears that you have never been asked about. We do not re-ask on every visit.
What this page does not cover
Text you submit to the detector is not stored and is not used to train models — that belongs to the Privacy Policy, which also covers the account data you give us when you sign up. The dashboard at app.ai-cordon.comsets the same cookies described here and reads the same consent record.
