Cookie Policy

Last updated: September 5, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies Ask AI uses, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser that help websites remember settings and improve user experience. Some cookies are strictly necessary for basic functionality, while others are optional and used for measurement or personalization.

Cookie categories we use

Essential cookies: required for core site operation, security, and consent preference storage.

Analytics cookies: help us understand aggregated traffic behavior and improve performance.

Advertising cookies: Google AdSense and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, limit, secure, personalize, and measure ads on selected editorial pages, subject to your consent choices and regional requirements.

Functional cookies: support user interface preferences and quality-of-life behaviors.

Essential cookies cannot be disabled without affecting basic site functionality. Optional cookies are controlled through your consent choices where supported.

Consent and preference control

Ask AI uses a consent framework that sets default restricted states for optional categories until user choice is provided. Your preferences are stored locally so you do not need to reconfigure settings on every visit.

You can also manage cookies from your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or restrict cookie behavior globally or per site.

Third-party technologies

Ask AI uses Google Analytics for aggregate measurement and Google AdSense for advertising on selected editorial pages. These services may set their own cookies or use similar technologies in accordance with your consent selection. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Retention and updates

Cookie duration varies by category and provider. Session cookies expire when your browser closes; persistent cookies remain for a defined period unless deleted. We periodically review cookie usage to reduce unnecessary data collection.
