1.What cookies are
A cookie is a short piece of text your browser stores and sends back with every request to the same site, letting the server recognise your session. Alongside cookies we use local storage, which stays in the browser and is never sent to the server — we use it for interface preferences only.
Everything listed below is first-party (the ataa.ai domain). We currently set no third-party cookie and no advertising tracking pixel.
2.Strictly necessary
Without these the site does not work properly, and they cannot be turned off from inside the platform. They need no prior consent because they are required to deliver the service you asked for.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| ataa_persona | Cookie | Holds the persona used in demo mode (guest, student, teacher, admin) so you see the screens that belong to it. It carries no personal data and is never used for tracking. | One year |
| ataa.sidebar.collapsed | Local storage | Remembers whether you collapsed the dashboard sidebar, so it does not reopen expanded on every visit. | Until you clear it |
3.Preferences
These remember interface choices so you do not repeat them each visit. Clearing them does not stop you using the platform; it just returns the settings to their defaults.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| ataa.theme | Local storage | Stores your light or dark theme choice, read before the page paints so there is no flash of the wrong theme. | Until you clear it |
| ataa.promo.v1 | Local storage | Remembers that you dismissed the promotional bar at the top of the site so it stays dismissed. | Until you clear it |
4.Analytics
We write no analytics cookie today. Current performance measurement relies on aggregated server logs (response times, error codes, truncated IP), which are not linked to your account and are not stored in your browser.
If we later add an analytics tool that writes to your browser, it will not run before your explicit consent through a choice panel shown on your first visit, and it will appear in the table below before it is switched on, not after.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|

5.Embedded third-party services
The player loads video from a content delivery network over short-lived signed URLs. That network may set a technical cookie to manage streaming quality and prevent link reuse. It is purely functional, lives no longer than the session, and is not used to build an advertising profile.
The payment page is hosted entirely by the payment service provider on their own domain; any cookie they set is governed by their policy, shown during checkout.
6.How to control them
- From your browser settings you can delete ataa.ai cookies and local storage at any time, or block the site from writing them at all.
- Deleting the necessary entries resets your session and may mean picking your persona or signing in again.
- Private browsing keeps none of these values after the window closes, so theme and language return to their defaults each time.
- There is no tracking to opt out of here, simply because we set none.
7.Changes to this policy
The tables above are part of the product itself: any new value we write to your browser is added to the matching table in the same change. Check the “last updated” date at the top for the most recent revision.
