Who we are and what this Policy covers
This Cookies & Similar Technologies Policy (the “Cookie Policy”) explains how CatMind AI (“CatMind AI”, “we”, “us” or “our”) uses cookies, local storage and related technologies when you visit or use the CatMind AI website, account, dashboards and analysis services (together, the “Platform”).
This Cookie Policy should be read with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Acknowledging this Policy is not the same as consenting to optional technologies.
CatMind AI uses cookieless audience measurement
CatMind AI uses a restricted set of privacy-conscious product analytics through PostHog Cloud EU. PostHog is configured in permanent cookieless mode and does not store an analytics identifier, consent choice or analytics state in cookies, local storage or session storage on your device.
CatMind AI does not identify users in PostHog. Unique visitors are estimated using a short-lived, privacy-preserving server hash that changes daily. The source IP address is stripped before the event is stored. CatMind AI does not deploy advertising cookies, remarketing pixels or social-media tracking pixels.
Session replay, surveys, heatmaps, automatic click capture and automatic error or performance capture remain disabled. Only allowlisted page visits and product-funnel events are sent.
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored by a website in your browser. A first-party cookie is set by the website you visit; a third-party cookie is set by another provider whose service is included on that website. Session cookies normally disappear when the browser closes, while persistent cookies remain until their expiry or deletion.
Local storage lets a website save small pieces of information in the browser without automatically sending them with every network request. Session storage is similar but is normally limited to the current browser tab or session.
Pixels, tags, device identifiers and JavaScript SDKs can also read or write information or report interactions. In this Policy, “cookies” may refer collectively to cookies and similar technologies unless a distinction is necessary.
Categories and purposes
Current first-party browser storage
The following entries are used by the current CatMind AI Frontend. They are local-storage entries, not traditional HTTP cookies.
The web server or future production infrastructure may use short-lived, strictly necessary technologies for security, load balancing, fraud prevention or request routing. If a material technology is introduced, this table or the available consent interface will be updated.
Current privacy mode
Cookieless analytics and future choices
Current PostHog audience measurement does not write or read an analytics identifier, consent decision or analytics state in browser storage. CatMind AI does not use PostHog to identify or follow a visitor across different days, devices or websites.
Because the current implementation does not place optional analytics storage on your device, CatMind AI does not display an analytics cookie banner. This Policy provides clear information about the limited processing that occurs.
If CatMind AI later introduces session replay, advertising, persistent analytics identifiers or another non-essential technology that requires consent, we will provide an appropriate choice before enabling it where required.
Third-party technologies and embedded content
CatMind AI loads PostHog Cloud EU from eu-assets.i.posthog.com and sends allowlisted cookieless events to eu.i.posthog.com. PostHog states that EU Cloud data is hosted in Frankfurt, Germany. CatMind does not identify users in PostHog and does not send videos, audio, pet data, analysis contents or results, form text, names, email addresses or payment details.
If CatMind AI later embeds video players, payment tools, support widgets, maps, social content or other third-party services that access device information, we will identify relevant providers, purposes, categories and controls. Where required, such content will remain blocked until you consent or actively request the feature.
Data collected through a permitted third-party technology may be processed outside the EEA. Relevant international-transfer safeguards are described in the Privacy Policy.
How to control or delete browser storage
Deleting access_token or token_type will sign you out. Blocking necessary storage may prevent login and other account functions. Deleting catmind-theme returns the interface to its default theme. Cookieless PostHog analytics does not add an entry that can be deleted from browser storage.
Browser privacy signals
CatMind AI does not deploy behavioural advertising or cross-context tracking. PostHog runs in permanent cookieless mode, does not create persistent person profiles and respects the browser’s “Do Not Track” preference.
If applicable law requires recognition of a browser-based opt-out signal for processing introduced in the future, we will implement and describe the relevant response.
Storage duration and updates
The exact duration for each current entry appears in the storage table. Persistent local storage can remain after the browser closes and has no automatic expiry unless the application or browser removes it. Authentication tokens become unusable after their server-defined expiry even if an expired string remains in browser storage.
We review this Policy when the Platform's storage technologies change. We may update names, providers, durations and purposes to reflect technical or legal developments. Material changes will be highlighted or otherwise notified where required, and the effective date will be updated.
