Cookie Policy
Last updated: 2026-07-04
This Cookie Policy explains how CodeCortex Chat(“we”, “the Service”) uses browser storage technologies. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
1. Cookies vs. Local Storage
We do notset HTTP cookies for tracking, analytics, or advertising purposes on the core chat interface. Instead, we use the browser's localStorageAPI to persist user preferences and conversation history. localStoragedata stays on your device and is never transmitted to our servers in normal operation (it is only used as the source of the messages you explicitly send).
2. Storage Keys We Use
| Key | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|
| codecortex.conversations.v1 | Saves your chat conversations so they survive page reloads. | Until you clear them. |
| codecortex.activeConversationId.v1 | Remembers which conversation you last opened. | Until cleared. |
| codecortex.theme.v1 | Stores your dark/light/system preference. | Until cleared. |
| codecortex.settings.v1 | Stores system prompt, temperature, thinking-mode toggle. | Until cleared. |
| codecortex.locale.v1 | Stores your UI language override. | Until cleared. |
3. Third-Party & Advertising Cookies
If we display advertising (for example via Google AdSense), the advertising provider may set its own cookies to measure ad performance and to display interest-based ads. These cookies are governed by the provider's own cookie policy:
- Google AdSense: policies.google.com/technologies/ads
- Google Analytics (if deployed in the future): policies.google.com/technologies/cookies
You can opt out of personalised advertising at Google Ads Settingsor aboutads.info/choices. Browser-level cookie controls and extensions such as Privacy Badger also work.
4. Managing Local Storage
You can clear our localStorage entries at any time using either of these methods:
- Open Settings → “Clear all conversations” inside the chat UI.
- Use your browser's developer tools (Application → Local Storage → codecortex.co).
- Use your browser's “Clear browsing data” feature, including “Site data”.
5. Do Not Track
We honour the Do Not Trackbrowser signal: since we do not run analytics or cross-site tracking in the first place, your DNT setting has no adverse effect on the Service.
6. Changes
If we introduce new storage keys or third-party services, we will update this page and bump the “Last updated” date.
