Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how GetLibStart ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies (web beacons, pixels, local storage) when you visit our website or interact with our AI assistant browser extension. This policy helps you make informed choices about your privacy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help recognize your preferences, remember login details, analyze site traffic, and personalize content. Session cookies expire after closing your browser; persistent cookies remain until deleted or expire.

Types of Cookies We Use

Strictly Necessary Cookies

These are essential for the operation of GetLibStart. They enable core functions like secure login, session management, load balancing, and fraud detection. You cannot opt out of these because the service would not work properly.

Performance & Analytics Cookies

We use first-party analytics (cookies) to count visits, track traffic sources, measure feature usage, and improve AI performance. These cookies collect aggregated data only – not personally identifiable. Example: Google Analytics (anonymized IP) and internal event tracking. You may disable analytics cookies via cookie settings or browser extensions.

Functional Cookies

These remember your preferences, such as language selection, theme (dark/light), saved AI prompts, and dashboard layout. They enhance user experience but are not strictly required.

Advertising / Targeting Cookies

GetLibStart does NOT serve behavioral ads or share data with third-party ad networks. However, we may use limited marketing cookies (only if you explicitly accept) to measure the effectiveness of our own email campaigns or referrals. By default, targeting cookies are OFF.

Third-Party Cookies

Some features integrate with external services (e.g., payment gateways, support chat). Those parties may place their own cookies subject to their privacy policies. We do not control third-party cookies. Examples: Stripe (payment processing), Intercom (support widget) – their cookies are functional/necessary for those features.

Managing & Deleting Cookies

You can control and delete cookies via your browser settings (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). Most browsers allow you to block third-party cookies, delete existing cookies, or enable "Incognito" mode. Please note: disabling necessary cookies may break some AI assistant functionalities (like persistent login).

For more granular control, we provide a "Cookie Preferences" tool accessible in the footer. There, you can toggle analytics and functional cookies on/off. Your preferences are stored via a persistent opt-out cookie.

Other Tracking Technologies (Local Storage, Pixels)

We use HTML5 local storage to save your UI preferences and draft prompts. This is similar to cookies but can store larger amounts of data locally. We also employ transparent pixels in transactional emails (e.g., password reset, invoice) to measure open rates and improve deliverability – these do not collect browsing history.

Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may revise this policy when new technologies emerge or legal requirements change. Any material updates will be announced via our website and, if you have an account, via email. The current version is effective as of 7 May 2026.
