Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They're like digital sticky notes that help websites remember things about you. Don't worry—they can't access your files or install viruses.

Think of cookies like a coat check ticket at a restaurant. The website gives your browser a little ticket (cookie), and when you come back, it knows who you are and what you were doing.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies sparingly because we believe in privacy. Here's exactly what we use them for:

Session Cookies (Required)

These cookies keep you logged into your account:

• Authentication session: Remembers that you're logged in (expires after 15 minutes of inactivity)
• Account data: Stores your account ID, credit balance, and settings temporarily

Security Cookies (Required)

These cookies protect you and our service from attacks:

• CSRF tokens: Prevent cross-site request forgery attacks
• Rate limiting: Track request counts to prevent abuse and DDoS attacks

All our cookies are essential. You can't disable them because the website won't work without them. We don't use any tracking, analytics, or advertising cookies.

What We DON'T Use Cookies For

Unlike most websites, we don't use cookies for:

• Tracking you across other websites
• Building advertising profiles
• Selling your data to third parties
• Social media tracking
• Behavioral targeting
• Any creepy surveillance stuff

We're not like other companies. We don't want to know what you had for breakfast or which cat videos you watched.

Third-Party Services

We use a few trusted third-party services that may set their own cookies when you use them:

Stripe (Payment Processing)

When you buy credits, Stripe handles the payment and may set cookies for:

• Secure payment processing
• Fraud prevention and detection
• Payment form functionality

Stripe's cookies are only set during the payment process and are subject to Stripe's Privacy Policy.

No Analytics or Tracking

We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other tracking services. We don't embed social media widgets or third-party analytics tools that would set additional cookies.

Managing Your Cookies

Browser Settings

You can control cookies through your browser settings:

• Block all cookies: This will break Concluda completely - you won't be able to log in or use the service
• Block third-party cookies: This won't affect Concluda, but may block Stripe during payments
• Delete cookies: You'll be logged out and need to log back in
• Incognito/Private mode: You'll need to log in each time you open a new window

No Cookie Banner Needed

Since all our cookies are essential for the service to function, we don't show a cookie consent banner. There's nothing optional to opt into or out of.

If you block our cookies, you simply won't be able to use Concluda - which is fine if you prefer not to use cookies, but there's no "cookies off" version of our service.

Cookie Details

For the technically curious, here are the specific cookies we use:

Mobile Apps

Our mobile apps don't use traditional cookies, but they do use similar technologies:

• Local storage: Saves your preferences and account info
• Device identifiers: For security and fraud prevention
• Analytics SDKs: Anonymous usage statistics

You can control these through your device's privacy settings.

Updates to This Policy

If we change how we use cookies, we'll:

• Update this page with the new information
• Change the "Last updated" date
• Ask for your consent again if required

We'll try not to make changes unless we really need to.

Questions?

If you have questions about our use of cookies, email us at hello@concluda.com or use our contact page.

We're happy to explain anything that's not clear. Privacy policies shouldn't require a law degree to understand.
