This Cookie Policy explains how PatternAI ("PatternAI," "we," "us," "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website, apps, and related services (collectively, the "Services"), and how you can control them. This structure (what cookies are, why used, categories, and controls) is consistent with major SaaS/AI services.
1) What are cookies and similar technologies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website or use an app. We also use similar technologies such as:
- Local storage / session storage (browser storage used for settings and session state)
- Pixels / tags / web beacons (tiny files or code that measure interactions)
- SDKs (software development kits in apps that help provide functionality and measure performance)
These technologies help make the Services work, improve performance, and help protect accounts and prevent abuse.
2) Why we use cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Operate the Services (login/session, routing, stability)
- Protect security and integrity (fraud prevention, suspicious login detection, rate-limit enforcement)
- Remember preferences (language, UI choices)
- Measure performance and usage (analytics to understand what features work and fix issues)
- Support marketing/advertising (optional) (only if enabled—see Section 6)
This is broadly aligned with how large platforms describe cookie usage (operations, safety, performance measurement).
3) Cookie categories we use
We classify cookies into the following categories (common industry grouping).
A) Strictly Necessary (Essential)
These are required for the Services to function and generally cannot be turned off in our systems.
Examples of use:
- authentication and session management
- security and fraud prevention
- load balancing and basic platform operations
B) Functional (Preferences)
These support enhanced functionality and personalization.
Examples of use:
- remembering settings (e.g., theme, language)
- saving user selections (where applicable)
C) Performance / Analytics
These help us understand usage and improve reliability and user experience.
Examples of use:
- feature usage metrics
- performance monitoring
- error tracking and debugging
D) Targeting / Advertising (Only if enabled)
These may be used to deliver or measure ads and marketing across sites.
Examples of use:
- measuring campaign effectiveness
- limiting how often you see an ad
- showing more relevant marketing (if applicable)
PatternAI may use advertising/targeting cookies with consent, where applicable.
4) First-party vs third-party cookies
- First-party cookies are set by PatternAI (or our domain) to make the Services work.
- Third-party cookies are set by partners we use for things like analytics, embedded content, or payments.
Where third parties are used, they may collect data about your device and activity subject to their own policies.
5) How long cookies last
Cookies can be:
- Session cookies: deleted when you close your browser/app session.
- Persistent cookies: remain until they expire or you delete them.
Typical durations range from minutes (sessions) to months/years (preferences or measurement). We aim to keep durations appropriate for their purpose.
6) Managing cookies and your choices
A) Cookie banner / preference center
If you use a consent banner, you should provide a link here:
- Cookie Settings: /settings
This is the cleanest way to allow users to accept/reject non-essential cookies.
B) Browser controls
Most browsers let you:
- delete cookies
- block cookies
- control third-party cookies only
If you block essential cookies, parts of the Services may not work (e.g., login).
C) Mobile app controls (if you have an app)
Your device OS may offer controls to limit tracking or reset advertising identifiers.
D) Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers send "Do Not Track" signals. Because there is no consistent industry standard for responding to DNT, we may not respond uniformly; you can use the controls above to manage cookie behavior.
7) Cookie details table
Cookie / Identifier | Provider | Category | Purpose | Duration
session_id | PatternAI | Essential | Login session and security | Session
csrf_token | PatternAI | Essential | Request security / anti-forgery | Session
prefs | PatternAI | Functional | Remember user settings | 6 months
analytics_id | Analytics Vendor | Analytics | Usage measurement | 13 months
marketing_id | Ad Partner | Advertising | Campaign measurement | 3 months
Replace names/providers with your actual implementation once you finalize analytics/ads.
8) Updates to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date shows when it was most recently revised. Material changes may be communicated through the Services or by other appropriate means.
