Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 12, 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 two categories of cookies and browser storage: essential cookies (required for core functionality) and analytics cookies (only loaded if you give explicit consent). We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.
Essential Cookies: No Consent Required
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| sidebar:state | Strictly Necessary Cookie | Remembers whether you prefer the sidebar expanded or collapsed. | 7 days |
| userProfile | Essential LocalStorage | Stores a random local ID and rate-limit metadata to ensure fair use. Not linked to any personal identity. | Persistent until cleared |
| cookie-consent-seen | Essential LocalStorage | Records that you have seen the cookie banner so it does not reappear. | Persistent until cleared |
| cookie-consent-analytics | Essential LocalStorage | Records your analytics consent preference. | 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 |
These items are essential for the core functionality of the app and do not require your consent under EU law.
Analytics Cookies: Require Explicit Consent
| Service | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| PostHog | First-party Analytics | Tracks page views and session data to help us improve the product. We do not link this data to any real identity. Data is hosted in the EU. | 1 year |
Analytics cookies are only placed on your device after you explicitly opt in via the cookie banner. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing your browser storage or contacting us.
4.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.
You can also clear all stored data by clicking.
5.Third-Party Services
We do not use third-party advertising cookies. The external services we integrate with are:
- PostHog (EU): Product analytics (only if you consent). Anonymous usage data only.
- Google Cloud Platform (Belgium): For AI inference and backend hosting
- Supabase (EU): For caching and database services
- Cloudflare Turnstile: For minimal bot detection (no persistent cookies)
None of these services place advertising or tracking cookies on your device.
6.Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our services evolve. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
