This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how AIDetector.cx uses them, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as your login state, preferences, or browsing session — making your next visit easier and more useful.
2. How We Use Cookies
AIDetector.cx uses cookies for three main purposes: (1) to operate the platform securely with authenticated sessions, (2) to remember your preferences and settings, and (3) with your consent, to analyze how users interact with our platform so we can improve it.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are set by third-party services we use — specifically Cloudflare (security), Paystack and its authorized infrastructure providers (payments), and Supabase (backend). Paystack is a Stripe company. These providers have their own privacy policies, and we do not control the cookies they set beyond what is described in this policy.
4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control cookies in several ways:
Browser Settings: Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in or using core features.
Consent Banner: When you first visit AIDetector.cx, a cookie consent banner allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the footer.
Provider Privacy Information: For Paystack, visit paystack.com/privacy. For Cloudflare, visit cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
5. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add new features, change third-party providers, or when regulations require. The "Last Updated" date below reflects when the policy was last revised. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
