Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to site operators. This policy explains how BizFinder.ai uses cookies and similar technologies.

BizFinder.ai uses a minimal set of cookies, focused on essential functionality rather than advertising or cross-site tracking. We use cookies for authentication, basic analytics, and to remember your preferences.

Essential Cookies

auth_token -- A secure, HTTP-only cookie that stores your JSON Web Token (JWT) session after login. This cookie is required for the platform to function and expires after 7 days. Without it, you would need to log in on every page visit.

Analytics

We use Umami, a privacy-focused, self-hosted analytics platform. Umami does not use cookies for visitor tracking. It collects anonymous page view data without storing personal information or tracking users across sites.

Functional Storage (Widget)

The embeddable AI widget uses browser localStorage (not cookies) to persist chat conversation history on the visitor's device. This data stays on the visitor's browser and is not transmitted to our servers unless the visitor actively sends a message.

BizFinder.ai does not set third-party advertising or tracking cookies. The third-party services we integrate with (OpenAI, ElevenLabs, Calendly) are called server-side and do not set cookies in your browser through our platform.

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. However, disabling the essential auth_token cookie will prevent you from logging into BizFinder.ai.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal or regulatory reasons. We will post any updates on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
