1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. GilaniAI uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies (such as localStorage) to provide a reliable, personalised experience.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
- Essential cookies: Required for the Service to function. Without these, features like login and session management would not work.
- Preference cookies: Store your chosen settings (e.g. dark mode) so they persist between visits.
- Functional cookies: Remember actions you've taken (e.g. dismissing the AI disclaimer) to avoid repetitive prompts.
- Analytics cookies: Collect anonymous, aggregated data on how users interact with GilaniAI to help us improve the platform.
