Cookie Policy
LAST UPDATED · 2026-05-27
This is the short, practical version: what cookies the site uses, why, and how to change your mind. The longer privacy framing is in the Privacy Policy.
What we use
AIPolicyCompare uses two categories of storage: essential (always on) and analytics (consent required). There are no advertising cookies. There are no cross-site tracking cookies.
Essential storage
These are required for the site to function. They never leave your browser — there is no server-side counterpart — and don't require consent under GDPR or CCPA.
| KEY | PURPOSE | LIFETIME |
|---|---|---|
cookie_consent | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics. | Until reset |
compare-selection | Stores the platforms you've added to the compare tray. | Until cleared |
my-stack | Saves your bookmarked platforms (My Stack feature). | Until cleared |
Analytics cookies (consent required)
We use Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the site — page views, session duration, scroll depth, and click patterns. These cookies are only set after you click “Accept analytics” in the consent banner.
| COOKIE | SET BY | PURPOSE |
|---|---|---|
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguish unique visitors. IP addresses are anonymised. |
_clck, _clsk | Microsoft Clarity | Session and user identifier for the Clarity dashboard. |
No advertising cookies. No data selling. See the processors section of the privacy policy for the full chain of custody.

You can also opt out of Google Analytics specifically by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on ↗.
