Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and personalise your experience. This policy explains how we use cookies on the Vatsa AI platform.
| Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| vatsa_session | Keeps you signed in on this browser | Essential | 7 days |
| access_token | Completes a Google or GitHub sign-in | Essential | 7 days |
| oauth_state_google, oauth_state_github | Protects Google and GitHub sign-in from forged requests (set on api.vatsaai.com) | Essential | 10 minutes |
| vatsa_theme | Remembers the light or dark theme you chose | Essential | 1 year |
| vatsa_locale | Remembers the language you chose | Essential | 1 year |
| _ga | Google Analytics: tells visits from the same browser apart with a random ID | Analytics (only if you accept) | 2 years |
| _ga_NCHLX6K63L | Google Analytics: keeps track of the current visit | Analytics (only if you accept) | 2 years |
Your cookie choice itself is saved in your browser's local storage (as "cookie-consent"), not in a cookie.
These keep you signed in, protect sign-in, and remember the theme and language you chose. The Service does not work without them, so they cannot be switched off.
If you accept analytics cookies, we use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages are visited and which features are used, such as signing up, sending a chat message or generating an image. It identifies your browser by a random ID, not by your name or email, and we never send it your messages or files. Google Analytics does not load at all until you accept.
When you sign in with Google or GitHub, or pay through Razorpay, those services may set their own cookies on their own pages. We do not control those cookies; their privacy policies explain them.
You can turn analytics cookies on or off at any time. Switching them off stops Google Analytics and deletes its cookies from this site. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but blocking essential cookies will sign you out.
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these controls in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu. For more details, visit your browser's help centre. Remember that blocking all cookies may prevent you from logging in or using some features.
