What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed in your browser when you visit a website. They are used to remember preferences, maintain session state, and collect analytics data. Related technologies include localStorage and sessionStorage — browser storage mechanisms we also use on this Site, described below.
Cookies and storage we use on ai-health-apps.com
1. Strictly necessary — consent preference
| Name | Storage type | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
cookie-consent | localStorage | Stores your cookie-consent choice ("accepted" or "rejected") so we don't re-prompt on every visit. | Persists until you clear browser data |
This storage entry is set regardless of your consent choice — it is strictly necessary for the consent-management mechanism to function. No personal or tracking data is associated with it.
2. UI state — session preferences
| Name | Storage type | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
top-bar-dismissed | sessionStorage | Remembers that you dismissed the featured-product top bar so it doesn't reappear during your current session. | End of browser session |
mobile-bar-dismissed | sessionStorage | Remembers that you dismissed the mobile CTA bar during your current session. | End of browser session |
These are not tracking storage entries. They contain only a flag ("1") with no personal data.
3. Analytics cookies — Google Analytics 4 (consent required)
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google (GA4 ID: G-09W4ZF20T2) | Distinguishes unique visitors. Used to count sessions and page views. | 2 years |
_ga_09W4ZF20T2 | Google (GA4) | Maintains session state for the GA4 measurement ID for this Site. | 2 years |
GA4 analytics cookies are set only after you click "Accept" on the consent banner. If you click "Reject", no GA4 cookies are placed and no analytics events are fired for your visit. This is enforced by Google Consent Mode v2 configured with a default-deny state.
GA4 data collected includes: page views, scroll depth, approximate location (country/region only — not precise GPS), device/browser type, and outbound link clicks. IP addresses are truncated by Google before storage. We do not use Google Signals, cross-device tracking, or remarketing. GA4 data is retained for 14 months and then automatically deleted by Google.
For Google's full data-processing terms, see the Google Privacy Policy ↗.
4. Affiliate network cookies (third-party, merchant domain)
When you click an affiliate link on this Site and are redirected to a partner's website, that partner or their affiliate network may place tracking cookies on the partner's domain (not on ai-health-apps.com). These cookies attribute any subsequent purchase or signup to our referral so we can be paid the commission.
Key affiliate cookies you may encounter on partner sites include:
- Awin:
AWC— set on the merchant's domain by Awin's network to attribute your visit. Managed by Awin's Privacy Policy ↗. - Impact — sets a click-ID via URL parameter and a session cookie on the merchant's domain. Managed by Impact's Privacy Policy ↗.
- FlexOffers, CJ Affiliate, Acceleration Partners — similar tracking mechanisms on the respective merchant domains. See each network's privacy policy for details.
These third-party cookies are outside our control. They are governed by the respective affiliate network's and merchant's privacy policies, not ours. For a full list of networks we use, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
Legal basis under GDPR
- Strictly necessary cookies and UI-state storage: no consent required; processed under our legitimate interest in providing a functional website experience (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).
- Analytics cookies (GA4): processed on the basis of your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)), given via the consent banner. You may withdraw consent at any time (see below).
- Affiliate network cookies on merchant sites: governed by the legal bases stated in each merchant's and network's own GDPR disclosures.
