Introduction
Cookies are small text files that your browser stores on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember things between page loads and across visits, like whether you are signed in, which language you picked, or what theme you prefer.
This policy covers the cookies Face Search AI sets, why we set them, and how you can control them. We try to keep the list short and explain each category in plain language.
Categories of cookies we set
Essential cookies
These are needed for the site to function. They include the authenticated session cookie that keeps you signed in, the CSRF token that protects forms from cross-site request forgery, and your language selection. Essential cookies cannot be disabled without breaking the site.
Analytics cookies
We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages people read and where the search engine fails to return matches. We aggregate the data and never identify individual users from it.
Functional cookies
These remember UI preferences, like the theme (light or dark) and the last-used input mode on /search. They are optional and the site still works if you disable them.
Marketing cookies
We do not set marketing cookies. If you see a cookie on a Face Search AI page that does not fit one of the categories above, contact us and we will explain what it does or remove it.
Third-party cookies
We use two third parties that may set their own cookies on specific routes. Stripe handles payments and may set cookies only on /pricing and the /payment/* outcome pages. Google sets a cookie during the Sign-In OAuth flow on /login. We do not use advertising networks or social-tracking third parties.
Cookie lifetimes
How long each category lives on your device:
- Essential, session (deleted when you close the browser or sign out).
- Analytics, 30 days.
- Functional, 1 year.
- Marketing, not applicable, we do not set them.
Your choices
You can disable non-essential cookies in your browser settings. Here are the official docs for the major browsers:
Note that disabling essential cookies will break authentication, so you will not be able to sign in or stay signed in.
Updates to this policy
We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page reflects the latest revision.
