Cookie Policy

1. Essential cookies

These are always on because the Service cannot function without them: keeping you signed in, and protecting the Service against abuse through rate limiting. They do not require your consent under applicable law.

2. Analytics cookies

If you accept them, we use analytics cookies to understand how people use CertPilot AI and to improve the product. These are only set after you actively accept them in the cookie banner — if you choose "Essential only", or make no choice at all, no analytics cookies are set and no analytics data is collected.

The analytics cookies we set all come from Google Analytics 4, provided by Google LLC. When you accept analytics cookies, Google sets cookies in the _ga family (typically expiring after up to two years) and collects: the pages you view and when, referral source, approximate location derived from a truncated IP address, device, browser and operating system, and events recording key actions such as creating an account. This data is used to measure how the Service is used and how effective our advertising is. We do not send Google your name, email address, quiz answers, or anything you paste into the Exam Decoder.

Google processes this data as described in Google's Privacy Policy, and explains its use of analytics data at How Google uses information from sites that use its services. You can also opt out of Google Analytics in every browser using Google's browser add-on.

Google Analytics is not our only measurement tool, but it is the only one that uses cookies. We also use Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights, which count page visits and measure real-world page loading speed without setting any cookie and without storing any identifier on your device. Because they place nothing on your device, they are unaffected by your cookie choice.

3. Withdrawing consent

You can change your cookie choice at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site, which will show the cookie banner again on your next visit. You can also contact us at privacy@certpilotai.com with any questions about how we use cookies.
