Your Personal AI ("we," "us," or "our") is headquartered at Lysaker Torg 5, 1366 Lysaker, Norway, with additional offices in Oslo. We are dedicated to ethically driven AI solutions and maintain the highest standards of privacy and data protection.

This Cookie Policy ("Policy") explains how and why we use cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website, https://wp.yourpersonalai.net (the "Site"). It is intended to give you complete transparency regarding our data practices and to show how they conform to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act. This Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy for a fuller understanding of how we handle personal data.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device (e.g., computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They serve multiple functions, such as recognizing your device, storing user preferences, and enhancing website performance.

Local Storage & Similar Technologies

In addition to standard cookies, we may employ HTML5 local storage, web beacons, pixel tags, or other tracking mechanisms. References to "cookies" in this Policy include these technologies unless otherwise stated.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Consent upon First Visit

A cookie consent banner will appear when you first land on our Site, allowing you to accept, reject, or customize which cookie categories you permit.

Changing Preferences

You can update or withdraw consent at any time by accessing your cookie preferences through our on-site cookie banner icon or via your browser settings.

For strict details on how to delete or block cookies through browser controls, consult your browser's help documentation (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, Safari).

Consent Logging

We securely log your consent choices (including timestamps and categories selected) for compliance purposes, typically in a pseudonymized format.

7. Cookies and AI-Driven Services

Data Minimization

Our AI modules primarily utilize aggregated or pseudonymized data sourced from analytics cookies to enhance user experience, ensure system reliability, and optimize performance.

Ethical AI Practices

We follow "privacy by design" principles in our AI development, striving to avoid collecting personally identifiable information through cookies wherever possible.

No Automated Decision-Making

We do not perform automated decision-making with legal or similarly significant effects on individuals solely based on data collected via cookies. Any future automated decision-making features would require additional user consent.

8. International Data Transfers

Primary Data Storage

We store cookie-derived data on secure servers located within the European Economic Area (EEA).

Third-Party Providers Outside the EEA

If any cookie data is transferred outside the EEA (e.g., to a U.S.-based analytics provider), we ensure compliance via EU Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or an Adequacy Decision (GDPR Articles 45–46).

Provider-Specific Measures

Providers like Google, Meta, and TikTok implement their own safeguards for international transfers. We validate such safeguards before integrating their services.

9. Data Security Measures for Cookies

We apply robust security protocols to protect information collected via cookies:

• Encryption in Transit: All user traffic is secured with TLS (HTTPS), safeguarding data transmitted between your browser and our servers.
• Secure Storage: Server environments use firewall protection, intrusion detection systems, and strict access controls.
• Access Controls: Only authorized staff with a need to know can view cookie logs or associated data.
• Periodic Testing: Frequent security audits and vulnerability scans help ensure cookies are handled in compliance with GDPR requirements.

10. Retention of Cookie-Collected Data

• Session Cookies: Automatically deleted when you close your browser or end your session.
• Persistent Cookies: Stored until they expire based on the durations listed in our table above (ranging from 1 day to 2 years) or until you manually delete them.
• User Control: You can remove persistent cookies at any time by clearing your browser's cache, opting out via our consent banner, or resetting your cookie settings.
