This policy covers cookies and similar technologies including browser local storage and session storage.

5. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with our site. GA4 sets cookies that persist for up to 2 years to distinguish unique visitors and track sessions. The data collected is used to:

  • Measure page traffic and sources
  • Understand which features and pages are most used
  • Improve our product and content

Google Analytics data is processed by Google in accordance with Google's privacy policies. We do not use GA4 for advertising or share GA4 data with third parties for their own purposes. Analytics cookies are optional and only activated after you provide consent.

You can opt out of Google Analytics across all websites by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options for managing cookies:

Cookie consent banner

When you first visit NeuraWrite, you can accept or decline optional (analytics) cookies via our cookie consent banner. Declining optional cookies will prevent analytics tracking from being activated.

Withdraw consent

You can withdraw your cookie consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies and local storage, then revisiting NeuraWrite — the consent banner will reappear. You may also contact us at support@neurawrite.ai to request deletion of any analytics data associated with your session.

Browser settings

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from signing in and using the Service.

Google Analytics opt-out

Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to disable GA4 tracking across all websites.

Note: Disabling essential cookies will break sign-in and core Service functionality. Functional cookies (theme, accent color) can be cleared via your browser's developer tools or storage settings without affecting your ability to use the Service.

7. Local Storage & Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to save your theme and accent color preferences. Local storage data is stored only on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear local storage data through your browser's developer tools or settings at any time.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technology or legal obligations. Material changes will be noted with an updated "last updated" date at the top of this page. We may also notify you via the cookie consent banner or email for significant changes.
