Cookie Policy
Last updated: 26 September 2026
1. About Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They help sites remember your preferences and keep you signed in.
RIQ AI uses a minimal set of cookies - no advertising cookies, no tracking pixels, no social media cookies. Only the essentials needed for the service to work, plus cookieless aggregate analytics.
2. Cookies We Set
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Duration | How to Opt Out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| __session | Essential | Authenticated session for signed-in accounts (Clerk) | 30 days | Log out or clear your browser data |
| anon_session | Essential | Temporary identifier for anonymous users; ties your session to fair-use rate limits | 31 days (resets when you return) | Clear your browser data |
| __cf_bm | Essential | Cloudflare bot mitigation and security (may be set when you access the site) | Up to 30 minutes | Required for security; cannot be disabled |
We do NOT use: advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, Meta/Facebook pixels, Google Ads conversion tracking, Reddit pixels, or any form of cross-site tracking.
3. Analytics
We use aggregate, cookieless analytics provided by Cloudflare (our CDN and security provider) to understand how many people visit and where they come from. This does not identify you, does not track you across other sites, and never includes your chat content. We do not use Google Analytics or advertising trackers, and we do not sell or share personal data.
4. How to Manage Cookies
Your browser settings:
Mobile: iOS and Android settings allow clearing cookies under Settings → Privacy / Safari or Chrome → Clear Browsing Data.
Effect of disabling: Disabling essential (session) cookies will prevent the Service from tracking your fair-use query count and will sign you out, which may degrade your experience.
5. Notice vs Consent
Because RIQ AI uses only essential cookies and cookieless aggregate analytics (no advertising, no tracking, no marketing cookies), we show a cookie notice (informational) rather than a consent gate. You are informed of the cookies we use and may opt out at any time via your browser settings.
We do not currently respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals because no uniform standard for DNT exists.
6. Updates
We will post changes to this policy with a new "Last updated" date.
Disclaimer: This cookie policy is provided for transparency. For compliance with specific regulations, we recommend review by a qualified lawyer.
