🍪 Cookie-Free Promise:
We do NOT use any cookies on our website. No tracking cookies, no analytics cookies, no marketing cookies, no profiling cookies. Zero cookies, period.
1. Our Cookie-Free Commitment
Welcome to aithic.org ("we," "our," or "us"). This Cookies Policy explains our commitment to providing a completely cookie-free browsing experience. Unlike most websites that use various types of cookies for tracking, analytics, and advertising, we have made the deliberate choice to operate without any cookies whatsoever.
This policy aligns with our core mission of ethical technology practices and our belief that privacy should be the default, not an opt-in choice.
2. What Are Cookies? (For Your Information)
While we don't use cookies, we believe in transparency and education. Here's what cookies typically are:
Cookies are small text files that websites commonly store on your device to:
- Remember your preferences and login status
- Track your browsing behavior for analytics
- Enable targeted advertising and marketing
- Create detailed user profiles for commercial purposes
- Share data with third-party advertisers and data brokers
Important: None of the above happens on aithic.org because we don't use cookies at all.
3. Types of Cookies We Do NOT Use
To be completely transparent, here are all the types of cookies that we explicitly do NOT use:
Essential/Functional Cookies
We don't use cookies to remember your preferences, login status, or website settings because our service works without requiring any stored information.
Analytics/Performance Cookies
We don't use Google Analytics, Hotjar, or any other analytics services that would track your behavior, page views, or time spent on our site.
Marketing/Advertising Cookies
We don't use cookies for advertising, remarketing, conversion tracking, or building marketing profiles. No Facebook Pixel, Google Ads tracking, or similar technologies.
Targeting/Profiling Cookies
We don't create user profiles, track interests, or use cookies to personalize content based on your browsing history across websites.
Third-Party Social Media Cookies
We don't embed social media widgets, share buttons, or any third-party content that would set cookies from Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or other platforms.
4. Why We Choose to Be Cookie-Free
Our decision to operate without cookies is based on our fundamental principles:
Privacy by Design
We believe privacy should be the default state, not something you have to configure or opt into.
No User Tracking
We don't need to know who you are, what you do, or how you use our service to provide value.
Ethical Technology
We practice what we evaluate - ethical technology that respects users rather than exploiting them.
Simplified Experience
No cookie banners, no complex consent forms, no privacy trade-offs - just a clean, simple service.
5. Third-Party Services and Potential Cookies
While we don't set any cookies ourselves, some third-party services we use might potentially set cookies directly:
Google Fonts
We load the Inter font from Google Fonts. According to Google's documentation, Google Fonts requests are designed to not set cookies, but your browser may cache font files.
This is a standard web practice and Google states they don't use font requests for advertising purposes.
Tailwind CSS CDN
We load CSS styling from Tailwind's CDN. This is purely for styling and does not involve cookies or tracking.
Google Gemini AI (Server-Side Only)
Our AI analysis uses Google's Gemini API, but this communication happens entirely on our server. Your browser never directly contacts Google's AI services.
6. Local Storage and Session Storage
In addition to not using cookies, we also don't use other forms of browser storage:
- Local Storage: We don't store any data in your browser's local storage
- Session Storage: We don't use session storage to remember anything between pages
- IndexedDB: We don't use browser databases
- Web SQL: We don't use deprecated web SQL storage
- Application Cache: We don't cache application data in your browser
Result: Each time you visit our website, it's a completely fresh experience with no stored information from previous visits.
7. How to Verify Our Cookie-Free Status
You can easily verify that we don't use cookies using your browser's developer tools:

Pro Tip: You can also use browser extensions like "EditThisCookie" or "Cookie-Editor" to verify that no cookies are set when visiting our site.
8. Legal Compliance
Our cookie-free approach ensures automatic compliance with various privacy regulations:
GDPR (EU)
No cookie consent banners needed since we don't use cookies that require consent.
CCPA (California)
No personal information sale opt-outs needed since we don't collect personal information.
ePrivacy Directive
No cookie warnings required since we don't store information on user devices.
LGPD (Brazil)

9. Changes to This Cookies Policy
We may update this Cookies Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. However, our commitment to being cookie-free will remain unchanged. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
Our Commitment: If we ever decide to use cookies in the future (which we have no plans to do), we will update this policy with clear explanations and implement proper consent mechanisms. However, our current business model and ethical stance make cookie usage unnecessary and unlikely.
