Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site function, remember preferences or understand how pages are used. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage and pixel tags. In this policy we refer to them collectively as "cookies" where the distinction does not matter for your choices.

2. Who controls cookies?

First-party cookies are set by cogniforgeai.life. Third-party cookies are set by vendors we embed when you consent to analytics. You control non-essential cookies through our banner (Accept all / Reject all / Customise). Your choice is stored in browser local storage for six months, after which the banner will appear again.

3. Cookie categories

Essential (always active)

Required for basic website operation and security. Without them, forms and navigation may not work reliably. These do not require consent under Canadian practice because they are strictly necessary.

• cf_cookie_consent (local storage) — remembers your cookie choice. Duration: six months. Provider: CogniForge AI.
• Session identifiers — if present for form security or load balancing. Duration: session. Provider: hosting infrastructure.

Analytics (optional — requires consent)

Help us understand aggregated traffic patterns: pages viewed, approximate geography, device type and referral source. We use this to improve studio site content — not to profile individuals for advertising resale.

• Plausible / privacy-oriented analytics (if enabled post-consent) — aggregated visit metrics without cross-site tracking profiles. Typical retention: twelve months aggregated. Provider: analytics vendor named at consent time.

If analytics are rejected, these cookies are not set.

4. What we do not use

We do not use cookies for:

• AI-income or get-rich-quick advertising networks.
• Cross-site behavioural advertising profiles.
• Social media tracking pixels without disclosure and consent.
• Crypto, forex or trading funnels.

5. How to manage preferences

On this site: Use the cookie banner — Accept all, Reject all, or Customise to toggle analytics. You may clear local storage to reset preferences; the banner will reappear.

Browser controls: Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. See help documentation for Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge. Blocking all cookies may affect site functionality.

Do Not Track: We treat explicit banner choices as authoritative. Where analytics are optional, they remain off unless you consent.

6. Storage durations summary

Name / type	Category	Duration
cf_cookie_consent	Essential	6 months
Analytics identifiers	Analytics (consent)	Up to 12 months

7. Personal information & PIPEDA

Cookie data may constitute personal information when linked to identifiable users (for example IP addresses in server logs). We collect such data only for stated purposes and with consent where required. Access and correction rights apply — contact [email protected]. Complaints may be directed to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

8. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when vendors, technologies or legal requirements change. The Last updated date will reflect revisions. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy unless otherwise required by law.

10. Legal basis under Canadian privacy law

PIPEDA requires organizations to identify purposes before or at the time of collection and to limit collection to what is reasonable. Essential cookies support explicit purposes — security, consent memory and basic delivery — that you would reasonably expect when visiting a business website. Analytics cookies support the separate purpose of understanding aggregate traffic; we request consent before setting them because they are not strictly necessary for you to read our pages or submit an enquiry.

Where cookie-related data is linked to an identifiable individual (for example when combined with authenticated client portals, which are outside this public marketing site), additional contractual terms apply. This public Cookie Policy covers cogniforgeai.life only.

11. Changes to vendors

If we change analytics providers or introduce new optional technologies, we will update this policy and refresh consent where required. Material changes may trigger a new banner prompt even before your six-month preference expires, so you can make an informed choice about any new processing.
