Cookie Policy

What we store on your device, and why.

Last updated

Note: this page describes what this deployment actually sets. If you operate the site and enable an analytics provider, update the tables below to match.

The short version

AIInsider sets no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking cookies. The site is statically hosted and has no reader accounts, so there is no session cookie either. The only thing stored by default is your light/dark theme preference, and it never leaves your browser.

An analytics provider is currently enabled on this deployment, so measurement storage described below may also be present.

Cookie categories

Everything this site could store falls into one of four categories. Two of them are permanently empty.

Optional analytics, in plain terms

Analytics on this site is optional infrastructure. When no provider ID is set in the site configuration, no analytics script is injected into the page and your browser never contacts the provider. When one is set, it is used only to see which articles are read and which pages are broken — never for advertising, never shared with ad networks, and never used to identify you personally. Whatever is active is named in theprivacy policy.

Third-party requests

Web fonts are requested from Google Fonts. This sets no cookie, but the request necessarily discloses your IP address to that service as a technical consequence of delivering the font file. Embedded content, where an article includes it, may set cookies under the embedding provider's own policy.

How to control this

  • Block or delete cookies — every major browser supports this under Privacy or Site Settings, per site or globally.
  • Clear local storage — this resets your theme preference, after which the site follows your operating system setting again.
  • Opt out of GA4 specifically — Google publishes a browser add-on that blocks its analytics scripts everywhere, if that provider is ever enabled here.
  • Use a content blocker — a standard tracker blocker removes the optional analytics requests entirely.

Nothing on this site breaks if you block all storage. Articles, thetool directory, search and theRSS feed all work without it. The only visible difference is that your theme choice will not persist between visits.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

We do not perform cross-site tracking, so a DNT or GPC signal changes nothing about how we treat you. There is no profile to opt out of.
