Cookie Policy

This policy explains what cookies CompeteAI uses, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how you use the service.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for CompeteAI to function. They handle authentication, session management, and security. You cannot opt out of essential cookies because the application will not work without them.

  • Session cookie — keeps you signed in
  • CSRF token — protects against cross-site request forgery
  • Cookie consent — remembers your cookie preferences

Analytics Cookies

With your consent, we use Vercel Analytics to understand how students use CompeteAI. These cookies help us improve features that matter most. No analytics cookies are set until you accept them.

Third-Party Cookies

CompeteAI uses Stripe for payment processing. Stripe may set its own cookies during checkout. We do not control Stripe's cookies — see Stripe's privacy policy for details.

Managing Cookies

You can manage cookie preferences through the cookie banner that appears on your first visit. You can also clear cookies at any time through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent sign-in and core features from working.
