Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 19, 2026
1.Overview
This Cookie Policy explains how Cora ("we", "us" or "our") uses cookies and similar browser-based storage when you use our AI research application on voluntary carbon markets.
2.What Are Cookies and Web Storage?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. LocalStorage is a browser feature that stores key/value pairs on your device. Both help our app remember certain settings and operate efficiently.
3.Types of Cookies and Local Storage We Use
We use only essential cookies and browser storage—no analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking cookies.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sidebar:state | Strictly Necessary Cookie | Remembers whether you prefer the sidebar expanded or collapsed. | 7 days |
| userProfile | Essential LocalStorage | Stores your pseudonymous user ID and rate-limit metadata to ensure fair use. | Persistent until cleared |
| cookie-consent | Essential LocalStorage | Records that you've seen and responded to our cookie notice to avoid repeats. | Persistent until cleared |
| cora-chats / cora-active-chat | Essential LocalStorage | Stores your chat history and sessions locally on your device for privacy. | Persistent until cleared |
Note: Because these cookies/localStorage items are essential for the core functionality of the app, they do not require your consent under EU law.
4.Third-Party Diagnostics (Sentry)
We use Sentry to capture anonymized error, tracing, and performance telemetry. Sentry does not set any cookies in your browser, and we have disabled collection of personal identifiers (PII). Only the minimal warning/error console logs and aggregated metrics needed to keep the app reliable are transmitted. For more details, review our Privacy Policy.
5.Managing and Deleting Cookies
You can disable or delete cookies and clear localStorage via your browser settings. However, disablingsidebar:statemay reset your UI preference each session, and clearinguserProfilemay reset rate-limit tracking (which could affect your access). Clearing your chat-related local storage will permanently delete your conversation history.
