Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Authority-AI (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://authority-ai.com and related services (collectively, the “Services”). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

We may change this Cookie Policy at any time. Please check the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page to see when this Cookie Policy was last revised. Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Cookie Policy on our Services.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Authority-AI) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Cookies

3.2 Analytics Cookies

4. Other Tracking Technologies

In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies including:

4.1 Web Beacons

Web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier that may be included on our Services for several purposes, including to deliver or communicate with cookies, to track and measure the performance of our Services, and to monitor how many visitors view our Services.

4.2 Local Storage

Local storage technologies, like HTML5, provide web applications with methods and protocols for storing client-side data. We use local storage to store preferences and settings on your device.

4.3 Session Storage

Session storage is similar to local storage but is cleared when you close your browser tab. We use session storage for temporary data that doesn’t need to persist beyond your current session.
