FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY — AI-ASSISTED — NOT FOR CLINICAL DECISION MAKING
Cookie Policy

Cookies, clearly explained — and reversible

Version 1.0 · In force since 12 May 2026

This policy lists every cookie or browser-storage item AiLabrix sets on ailabrix.com, the purpose of each, who serves it and how long it lasts. You can review, change or withdraw your consent at any time with one click.

One-paragraph summary. We use a tiny set of strictly necessary cookies to run the site (session, CSRF, language preference) — these are exempt from prior consent under Article 5(3) ePrivacy Directive. Anything else (analytics, performance beacons) is loaded only after you opt in via the cookie banner. No advertising or cross-site tracking cookies are used.

01 — DefinitionsCookies, local storage & similar

A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device so it can recognise you on subsequent requests. The same legal framework — Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive 2002/58/EC and the GDPR — also covers localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB and similar techniques. In this policy "cookies" means all of them.

Cookies can be classified by source (first-party, set by ailabrix.com, vs third-party, set by an external service) and by duration (session, deleted when you close the browser, vs persistent, with an explicit expiry date).

02 — Legal basis & consentWhen we need your opt-in

Strictly necessary cookies are loaded without prior consent under Art. 5(3) ePrivacy and Recital 66, because the service cannot work without them and you have explicitly requested the service by opening the page.

All other cookies — including privacy-friendly analytics and Core Web Vitals beacons — are loaded only after an unambiguous, granular, freely given and revocable opt-in (Art. 4(11) and Art. 7 GDPR). Refusing them does not reduce site functionality.

You give consent through the cookie banner the first time you visit. You can update or withdraw it at any time by clicking Cookie preferences in the footer of every page. The choice is stored in a first-party cookie named ailabrix_cc for 6 months.

Required   These four entries cannot be disabled because, without them, you could not log in, submit a form safely or even keep your language choice.

04 — Analytics & performanceOptional — only with your opt-in

ProviderEndpointPurposeCountry
Mindys statistics.mindys.ai Privacy-friendly, cookieless page-view analytics (aggregate visitor counts, referrers, country at country level). No fingerprinting, no cross-site tracking. EU
Cloudflare static.cloudflareinsights.com Cookieless Core Web Vitals beacon (page load, LCP, INP, CLS). Helps us keep the site fast. No identifiers stored on your device. USA (SCCs)

Optional   Both providers operate in cookieless mode and process only aggregated, non-identifying signals. Cloudflare is established in the USA: the transfer relies on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Decision 2021/914) and a documented Transfer Impact Assessment — see the Privacy Policy, §7.

05 — Cookies we do not useWhat you will not find here

06 — Managing your consentWithdraw or change at any time

Withdrawing consent is as easy as giving it. You can:

Browser-specific guides: Chrome · Firefox · Safari · Edge.

07 — Do Not Track & GPCHow we treat browser signals

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, we treat it as a refusal of all non-essential cookies and the analytics category is forced off, regardless of any previous click. The classic Do Not Track (DNT) header is non-standard and is no longer honoured by most platforms; GPC is the supersession we follow.

08 — International transfersWhere data goes

Cookie-related data stays in the EU when possible. The only transfer outside the EU/EEA in this policy is the Cloudflare Core Web Vitals beacon (USA), covered by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, a Transfer Impact Assessment and supplementary measures (TLS in transit, no identifiers stored, in-region routing where Cloudflare allows it).

09 — ChangesUpdates to this policy

If we add a new cookie category — for example a new analytics or chat provider — we will list it here, ask for a fresh consent (the banner reappears) and update the effective date at the top. Removed cookies are kept in a changelog appendix on request.
