# Cookie Policy

> **Draft — requires legal review before publication.** This page lists exactly what the BOSLA AI website stores in your browser today.

## The short version

We use only what the site needs to work. **No advertising cookies, no third-party analytics cookies and no cross-site tracking.** If that ever changes, this page will change first and we will ask for your choice before using anything optional.

## What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. Browsers also offer similar storage (local storage and session storage) that works the same way for our purposes, so we list both here.

## What we use

### Essential — needed for the site to work

| Name | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-in cookies (`__session`, `__client_uat` and other `__clerk_*`), set by Clerk | Keep you signed in and protect your account | While you are signed in; removed when you sign out |
| `bosla_lang` | Remembers English or Arabic | 1 year |
| `bosla_ref` | Remembers an invite code after you open an invite link, so the right friend is credited. Contains only the code | Up to 30 days |
| `bosla_session` | Signs a BOSLA AI team member in to the administration area. Never set for visitors | Until the team member signs out or the session expires |

### Preferences and convenience — stored in your browser only

| Name | What it does | How long |
|---|---|---|
| `bosla_theme` (local storage) | Remembers light or dark mode | Until you clear your browser data |
| `bosla_consent` (local storage and a cookie) | Remembers whether you pressed Accept or Decline in the cookie notice | 1 year |
| `bosla_utm` (session storage) | Keeps the campaign tags (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign) of the link you arrived through, so a sign-up can be attributed | Until you close the tab |
| `bosla_nps_done` (session storage) | Remembers that you already answered or postponed the recommend survey in this tab | Until you close the tab |
| `bosla_assistant:…` (session storage) | Keeps your AI assistant conversation in your own browser. We do not save it on our servers | Until you close the tab |

## What we do not use

- No advertising or retargeting cookies.
- No third-party analytics cookies. Our own aggregate counts set no cookie: to count unique visitors we use a one-way, salted hash of your IP address and browser details that cannot be turned back into either. See the [Privacy Policy](https://boslaai.co/privacy).
- If you press **Decline** in the cookie notice, we do not count your visits in these statistics at all.
- No social-media tracking pixels.

## Your choices

You can block or delete cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time. Blocking the essential ones means you cannot stay signed in, and the site will forget your language. Where we show the cookie notice you can **Accept** or **Decline**. Declining stops our anonymous visit statistics for you; the essential cookies above keep working because the site cannot run without them. You can change your answer at any time with **Cookie settings** in the footer, and we ask again after a year.

## Changes

We will update the date at the top of this page whenever the cookies or storage we use change.
