Cookie Policy

Cookies and similar technologies used on CleverAI services.

Last updated: 2026-05-12DRAFT

Draft notice: This document is an honest baseline describing the technical reality of CleverAI services as of 2026-05-12. It has not been reviewed by qualified legal counsel. Until that review is complete, treat this as informational rather than a binding legal instrument.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, work more efficiently, and provide information to site owners. The same term loosely applies to similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and pixel tags.

2. Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary (always on)

These cookies are required for the Services to function. They cannot be disabled. Under French CNIL guidance and ePrivacy Directive Art. 5(3), strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent but must be disclosed.

  • Clerk session cookies (__session, __client_uat) — authenticate you across the CleverAI apps. Set by Clerk.
  • Cookie-consent state (cleverai_consent_v1, in localStorage) — remembers your consent choice so we don't ask again.
  • CSRF protection tokens — prevent cross-site request forgery on state-changing endpoints.

Analytics (consent required)

We use two measurement tools. They are treated differently because they behave differently:

  • Vercel Web Analytics — aggregate page views and page performance. It sets no cookies and stores no identifier on your device, so under ePrivacy Directive Art. 5(3) it requires no consent and runs on every visit.
  • Google Analytics 4 — audience and traffic measurement. It sets the _ga and _ga_<container-id> cookies and transfers data to Google LLC in the United States. Because it is cookie-based, it is loaded only after you opt in to the Analytics category: if you reject, or simply ignore the banner, the Google tag is never requested and no Google cookie is set.

Marketing (consent required)

As of 2026-05-12 we do not load any advertising or marketing cookies. If/when we do, none will be set without your explicit consent.

When you first visit GitDoc, a cookie consent banner appears. You can:

  • Accept all — enable all current and future cookie categories.
  • Reject all — only strictly-necessary cookies will be set.
  • Customize — toggle each non-necessary category individually.

You may change your preference at any time via the Manage cookie preferences link at the bottom of this page (also in the site footer), which clears your stored choice and brings the banner back. Failing that, clear the cleverai_consent_v1 entry from your browser's local storage, or contact us at privacy@cleverai.ai.
