1. Introduction & Overview
SLAInsightAI Inc. uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate our website, enhance user experience, and understand how visitors interact with our services. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, the types we use, why we use them, and how you can control or delete them. This policy applies to our website (slainsightai.com) and web application (app.slainsightai.com). It complies with the requirements of GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy regulations. Last Updated: January 2026.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files (typically 4KB or less) stored on your device when you visit a website. They contain information like website preferences, login credentials, tracking identifiers, and browsing history. Cookies are transmitted between your device and web servers with each page request. Session Cookies expire when you close your browser and are not permanently stored. Persistent Cookies remain on your device for a specified period (days, months, or years) and persist across browser sessions. First-Party Cookies are set directly by SLAInsightAI. Third-Party Cookies are set by partners and service providers with our permission.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
Essential/Functional Cookies (Required): These cookies are necessary for basic website functionality and cannot be disabled. They include: session authentication tokens (maintain your logged-in state), CSRF protection tokens (prevent cross-site forgery attacks), load balancing cookies (distribute traffic across servers), and security cookies (identify suspicious activity). These are always enabled as they are required for the platform to function.
Analytics Cookies (Optional): We use analytics cookies to understand how you use SLAInsightAI, including which features are most popular, user engagement patterns, and performance metrics. Providers include Google Analytics, Mixpanel, and internal analytics tools. These cookies collect aggregated, anonymized data and help us improve the platform.
Performance Cookies (Optional): These cookies monitor site performance, track error rates, page load times, and resource utilization. They help us identify technical issues and optimize our infrastructure for faster performance. Data is typically anonymized.
Marketing Cookies (Optional): We use marketing cookies to deliver personalized content, retargeting ads, and promotional messages. Partners include Google Ads, LinkedIn, and other ad networks. These cookies track your interests and browsing behavior across websites.
Functional Cookies (Optional): These cookies remember your preferences, such as language selection, theme choices, display settings, and customized dashboard layouts, so you don't need to reconfigure them on each visit.
Social Media Cookies (Optional): If you interact with social media features (sharing, embedded social feeds), social platforms may set cookies to track engagement and serve targeted ads.
4. Why We Use Cookies
Authentication & Security: Cookies maintain your logged-in state, prevent unauthorized access, detect fraudulent activity, and implement multi-factor authentication.

Analytics & Improvement: Cookies help us understand user behavior, identify popular features, track conversion funnels, and measure the effectiveness of our marketing.

7. Cookie Retention & Lifespan
Session Cookies: Expire automatically when you close your browser (typically 24-30 minutes after last activity).
Persistent Cookies: Vary in duration: authentication cookies (7-30 days), user preference cookies (1-2 years), analytics cookies (2 years), marketing cookies (30-90 days). You can delete persistent cookies manually or they expire naturally.
Cookie Cleanup: Cookies may persist in browser storage until manually deleted or after their expiration date. Clearing browser cache, history, and cookies removes all stored cookies immediately.

10. Tracking & Do Not Track
Some browsers include "Do Not Track" (DNT) functionality. When enabled, the browser sends a special signal to websites requesting not to track the user. SLAInsightAI respects DNT signals by not enabling tracking cookies when DNT is active. However, essential cookies required for functionality remain enabled regardless of DNT status. Note that DNT is not universally implemented and some third-party services may not honor DNT requests.
11. Privacy & Data Protection
Cookies typically contain anonymized, aggregated data and do not directly reveal your identity. However, when combined with other information (username, email, IP address), they can be linked to your personal profile. SLAInsightAI does not sell cookie data to third parties. We limit cookie access to essential personnel for operational purposes. All cookie data is encrypted in transit and at rest. See our Privacy Policy for comprehensive data protection information.
12. Similar Tracking Technologies
Beyond cookies, we may use similar technologies including: Local Storage: Stores larger amounts of data client-side (unlike cookies). Session Storage: Similar to local storage but limited to the current session. Web Beacons/Pixels: Invisible 1x1 pixel images that track page views and conversions. Device Fingerprinting: Collects device characteristics for fraud detection and security. Cross-Device Tracking: Tracks user activity across devices using identifiers. All these technologies are subject to the same consent and control mechanisms as cookies.
13. Legal Basis & Compliance
GDPR (EU): We collect cookie consent for non-essential cookies before they are set. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time. We process cookies based on your consent and our legitimate interests.
CCPA (California): California residents have the right to opt-out of "sale" of personal information. We use the "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" link to allow opt-out.
PIPEDA (Canada): We obtain express or implied consent for cookies used to collect personal information.
We do not use cookies to collect information from children under 13. If we become aware of cookie data from children, we delete it immediately.
