Last Updated: April 9, 2025
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how AscendAI ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website and use our AI services (collectively, the "Services"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. By using our Services, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this Cookie Policy.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.
Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, AscendAI) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics).
Web beacons, pixels, and other tracking technologies also use cookies to track user behavior and collect information about site usage.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following types of cookies:
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. You can set your browser to block or alert you about these cookies, but some parts of the site will not then work.
3.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous.
3.3 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable the website to provide enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, then some or all of these services may not function properly.
3.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies
These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites. They do not store directly personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.
3.5 AI Personalization Cookies
These cookies help our AI systems remember your preferences and usage patterns to provide more personalized experiences and improve our AI services. They may store information about your interactions with our AI features to enhance future recommendations and responses.

5. How to Control Cookies
You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.
5.1 Browser Controls
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose to accept or decline cookies through your browser controls. Each browser is different, so check the "Help" menu of your browser to learn how to change your cookie preferences.
5.2 Our Cookie Consent Tool
When you first visit our website, you will be presented with a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline different types of cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking on the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of our website.
5.3 Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. These features are not yet uniform, so we do not currently respond to such signals.
6. Cookies and AI Services
Our AI services use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Remember your preferences and settings
- Maintain continuity in multi-step AI interactions
- Improve AI responses based on your feedback and usage patterns
- Provide personalized AI experiences
- Detect and prevent fraudulent or abusive use of our AI systems
You can manage cookies related to our AI services through the same controls described in Section 5. However, limiting certain cookies may impact the personalization and effectiveness of our AI services.
7. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, regulation, or our business practices.
