Cookie Policy

WebKernelAI ('we', 'us', or 'our') uses cookies and similar storage technologies (such as localStorage) on webkernelai.com to ensure platform security, support user authentication, maintain session continuity, and understand product performance.

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we utilize them, the specific categories of cookies deployed, and how you can exercise full control over your cookie preferences in compliance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the ePrivacy Directive, and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA).

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your web browser when you visit websites. They help the website remember information about your visit, such as your authentication state, security tokens, or preferred display settings.

We may also use local storage (localStorage) to store non-sensitive preferences (e.g., banner dismissal states and cookie consent preferences) locally on your device without sending them in HTTP request headers.

Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are indispensable for the operation of WebKernelAI. They allow you to securely sign in, navigate between dashboard tools, and authenticate API requests. Because they are essential to provide the service requested, they do not require prior consent under applicable laws.

Analytics & Performance Cookies: These optional cookies (e.g. Google Analytics 4) help us gather aggregated, anonymized metrics on platform usage, high-traffic audit tools, and diagnostic errors. We utilize Google Consent Mode v2 to ensure no analytics cookies or pings are transmitted without your explicit consent.

Functional & Preference Storage: These items remember your customized workspace views, theme settings, or previously dismissed notifications for an optimal user experience.

Below is the complete inventory of cookies and local storage keys utilized across WebKernelAI:

• access_token (First-party, Session Auth): Strictly Necessary. Lifetime: 15 minutes. Attributes: HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax. Used to verify authorized requests.

• refresh_token (First-party, Token Renewal): Strictly Necessary. Lifetime: 30 days. Attributes: HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax, Path=/api/auth. Used to securely maintain user sessions.

You have the right to accept or decline optional cookies at any time. When you first visit WebKernelAI, you are presented with our Cookie Consent Banner allowing you to accept all cookies, restrict to essential cookies only, or customize your categories.

You can change or revoke your cookie choices at any time using the interactive 'Customize Cookie Settings' tool provided below on this page.

Additionally, most modern web browsers allow you to manage cookie settings through browser preferences. Please note that blocking Strictly Necessary cookies may disable authentication and core dashboard functionality.

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect technological changes, new feature releases, or evolving legal frameworks. All revisions will be posted directly to this page with an updated revision date.
