This Cookie Policy explains how thinking-ape ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies when you use our Services. It explains what cookies are, which ones we set, and how you can control them.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small data files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently. Cookies set by the site you are visiting are called "first-party cookies"; cookies set by anyone else are "third-party cookies."
Which cookies do we use?
We use only strictly necessary, first-party cookies, the ones required to sign you in and run the core service. We do not use cookies for advertising, analytics, or profiling, and we do not allow third-party tracking cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, or Flash cookies on our Services. Because we do not track you, there is no cookie consent banner or preference center, and the only cookies we set are the essential ones below.
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
| auth_token | Keeps you signed in after you log in (your authenticated session). Set as HttpOnly so it cannot be read by JavaScript. | First-party, strictly necessary | 30 days |
| kn_next | Temporarily remembers the page you were trying to reach, so we can return you there after you sign in. HttpOnly. | First-party, strictly necessary | 10 minutes |
Do you use tracking pixels, targeted advertising, or Flash cookies?
No. We do not serve targeted advertising, we do not use web beacons or tracking pixels, and we do not use Flash cookies or local shared objects.
How can you control cookies?
You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. Because the cookies we use are strictly necessary, blocking or deleting them will sign you out and prevent you from logging in or using core features. Most browsers explain how to manage cookies in their help menu (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and others).
Updates to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by a revised "Last updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review it periodically.
