1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how AI Stack Atlas uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with our website, online services, content, tools, forms, and related digital properties. It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, the types of cookies that may be placed on your device, and the choices available to you.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and any applicable Terms of Service. By continuing to use our website after you have been presented with cookie information, or by adjusting your browser or preference settings, you can control how cookies are used. Some cookies are necessary for the website to function, while others help us understand performance, improve user experience, remember preferences, and support analytics or marketing activities.

If you have questions about this Cookie Policy, you may contact us at hello@aistackatlas.com or by writing to us at 135 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10016, United States.

2. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your browser, computer, mobile device, or other internet-connected device when you visit a website. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device, remember information about your visit, enable core features, and support analytics and personalization. Cookies may store identifiers, settings, browsing information, session data, and other technical information.
We may also use similar technologies, such as pixels, tags, web beacons, local storage, software development kits, and device identifiers. These technologies can perform similar functions to cookies, including recognizing a device or browser, measuring how users interact with pages, determining whether content has been viewed, detecting errors, and helping us improve our services.
Cookies may be “session” cookies or “persistent” cookies. Session cookies typically expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a set period of time or until you delete them. Cookies may also be “first-party” cookies, which are set by us, or “third-party” cookies, which are set by service providers or other third parties whose technologies are used on our website.
3. Cookie Categories We Use
We may use the following categories of cookies and similar technologies, depending on your location, browser settings, consent preferences, and how you interact with our website.
- Strictly necessary cookies: These cookies are required for the website to operate and cannot usually be disabled through our systems. They may support security, page navigation, session management, load balancing, fraud prevention, consent management, and access to requested features.
- Functional cookies: These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as preferences, form inputs, region settings, or display options. They help provide a more personalized and convenient experience.
- Analytics and performance cookies: These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, which pages are visited, how long users spend on pages, whether users encounter errors, and how our content performs. We use this information to improve functionality, usability, and content.
- Advertising and marketing cookies: These cookies may be used to deliver, measure, or improve advertising and marketing campaigns, including by understanding interactions with promotional content. Where applicable, these cookies may support interest-based advertising or retargeting.
- Security and fraud prevention cookies: These cookies help protect our website, users, and systems from unauthorized access, abuse, automated traffic, malicious activity, and other security risks.
- Preference and consent cookies: These cookies help remember your cookie choices, privacy preferences, and consent selections so that we can honor your settings on future visits.
Not every category will be used in every interaction. Some cookies are essential, while others may be optional and subject to your choices or applicable legal requirements.
4. Why We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for several business and operational purposes. These include operating the website, maintaining secure access, remembering user preferences, improving performance, understanding traffic patterns, diagnosing technical issues, and measuring the effectiveness of our content and communications.
Cookies help us provide a reliable and user-friendly experience. For example, they may allow us to remember that you have already seen a notice, maintain your session as you move between pages, identify server errors, prevent repeated form submissions, or preserve selected settings. Without certain cookies, some website functions may not work properly.
We may also use cookies to collect aggregated or statistical information about how visitors interact with our website. This can include information about pages viewed, referring websites, approximate location derived from IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, interaction events, and general usage patterns. This information helps us improve our content, navigation, and technical performance.
Where marketing cookies are used, they may help us understand whether campaigns are effective, avoid repeatedly showing the same message, or tailor communications based on website interactions. Any such use is subject to applicable laws, platform requirements, and your available choices.
5. Information Collected Through Cookies
Cookies and similar technologies may collect or store information such as IP address, device identifiers, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, time and date of visit, session identifiers, language settings, region settings, interaction data, and cookie preference choices. Depending on the technology and context, this information may be considered personal information under certain privacy laws.
We do not use cookies to intentionally collect sensitive personal information such as government identification numbers, financial account passwords, precise health information, or contents of private communications. However, if you submit information through a form or interact with website features, cookies may help associate that interaction with a session or browser for functional, security, or analytics purposes.
Information collected through cookies may be combined with other information we collect, such as information you provide directly or information generated through your use of our services. When we combine information in a way that identifies or can reasonably be linked to you, we handle it in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable privacy laws.
6. Third-Party Cookies and Service Providers
We may allow third-party service providers to place or read cookies and similar technologies on our website to help us operate, secure, analyze, and improve our services. These providers may include hosting providers, analytics providers, security vendors, customer support tools, consent management platforms, and advertising or marketing partners.
Third-party cookies are controlled by the third parties that set them. Their collection, use, and disclosure of information may be governed by their own privacy notices, cookie policies, contractual terms, and opt-out mechanisms. We encourage you to review the policies of any third-party services that interact with your browser or device.
We seek to use reputable providers and to configure their technologies in a manner consistent with applicable law and our privacy commitments. However, third-party technologies may change over time, and the exact cookies present on the website may vary depending on your device, browser, location, settings, and interactions.
7. Your Cookie Choices
You have several ways to manage cookies. Most browsers allow you to block, delete, or receive alerts about cookies through browser settings. The controls vary by browser and device, but they often allow you to delete existing cookies, block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or set site-specific preferences.
If we provide a cookie preference tool or banner, you may use it to manage non-essential cookie categories where required or offered. Your choices may be stored through a preference or consent cookie so that we can remember them. If you delete cookies, use a different browser, change devices, or reset settings, you may need to make your choices again.
Blocking cookies may affect website functionality. Strictly necessary cookies are required for core website operations and may not be available for opt-out through our preference tools. If you disable all cookies, certain pages, forms, security features, or preferences may not function correctly.
You may also be able to manage certain interest-based advertising choices through industry opt-out tools or device settings. These tools may not stop all advertising, but they can limit certain forms of interest-based advertising from participating companies. Your browser may also offer controls for tracking prevention or privacy signals.
8. U.S. Privacy Rights and CCPA Considerations
Depending on your state of residence and our legal obligations, certain U.S. privacy laws may provide rights regarding personal information collected through cookies and similar technologies. For California residents, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, may provide rights to know, access, delete, correct, and opt out of certain sales or sharing of personal information, as well as rights relating to sensitive personal information in some circumstances.
Some analytics, advertising, or marketing cookies may involve disclosures of identifiers, internet or other electronic network activity information, or similar data to third parties. Under the CCPA, certain disclosures for cross-context behavioral advertising may be considered “sharing,” and certain transfers may be considered a “sale” even if no money is exchanged. Where applicable, we will provide required notices and mechanisms for California residents to exercise opt-out rights.
If we offer a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” or similar option, eligible users may use that mechanism to communicate applicable opt-out choices. We may also recognize certain browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, where required by applicable law and technically feasible. The effect of such signals may depend on the browser, device, and website context.
Residents of other U.S. states may have similar rights under applicable comprehensive privacy laws, including rights to opt out of targeted advertising, sales of personal data, or certain profiling activities. To exercise privacy rights or ask questions about cookie-related personal information, contact us at hello@aistackatlas.com.
9. Retention of Cookie Information
The length of time a cookie remains on your device depends on whether it is a session cookie or a persistent cookie, the purpose for which it is used, and the settings established by us or the relevant third party. Session cookies typically expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies may remain for days, months, or longer, unless deleted earlier.
We retain information collected through cookies for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Cookie Policy, including operating the website, maintaining security, analyzing performance, honoring preferences, complying with legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements. Retention periods may vary based on the type of data, the sensitivity of the information, operational needs, and legal requirements.
Where information is aggregated, de-identified, or anonymized so that it no longer reasonably identifies you, we may retain and use it for legitimate business purposes, such as reporting, trend analysis, and service improvement, subject to applicable law.
10. Do Not Track and Browser Signals
Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals or similar privacy settings. Because there is not a uniform industry standard for responding to all such signals, our response may vary depending on the technology, legal requirements, and our ability to interpret the signal. We may respond to legally recognized opt-out preference signals where required, including certain signals used to express opt-out choices under applicable U.S. state privacy laws.
Browser privacy settings, tracking prevention features, and device-level advertising controls may help limit cookies or similar technologies. However, these controls may not affect all technologies, and some settings may need to be configured separately for each browser, device, or account. If you use multiple devices or browsers, you should apply your preferences to each one.
We may update our tools and practices as legal requirements and technical standards evolve. If you believe your cookie choices or privacy signals have not been honored, please contact us at hello@aistackatlas.com so that we can review your request.
11. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our use of cookies, legal requirements, technology, service providers, or business practices. When we make changes, we will revise the effective date and may provide additional notice where required by law or where changes are material.
Your continued use of our website after an updated Cookie Policy is posted indicates that you have had an opportunity to review the updated terms. If required by applicable law, we will seek renewed consent or provide additional choices before using cookies in materially different ways.
We encourage you to review this Cookie Policy periodically to stay informed about how we use cookies and similar technologies. Historical versions may not remain available on the website, so you may wish to save a copy for your records.
