Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Website Audit AI Agent ("we", "us", "our"), a service operated by THETECHBRAIN LTD, uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit https://websiteaudit.dev. It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control their use.
For more information about how we handle your personal data generally, please see our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to website owners about how the site is being used.
Cookies are not harmful and cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your device. A cookie is uniquely assigned to your device and can only be read by the web server that issued it.
Similar technologies include web beacons (also known as tracking pixels), local storage, session storage, and fingerprinting. This policy covers all such technologies collectively referred to as "cookies".
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function correctly and cannot be disabled in our systems. They are usually set only in response to actions made by you, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms. Without these cookies, services you have asked for cannot be provided.

2.2 Analytics and Performance Cookies
These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site. All information collected is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

- Performance tracking: Records page load times, error rates, and interaction events. Duration: session or up to 12 months.
If you do not allow these cookies, we will not know when you have visited our site and will not be able to monitor its performance.

If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these services may not function properly.
2.4 Targeting and Advertising Cookies

3. First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies
First-party cookies are set by Website Audit AI Agent directly. Third-party cookies are set by third-party providers such as Google Analytics, Facebook, and other services integrated into our site. Third-party providers operate under their own privacy policies and terms of service, and we encourage you to review them.
4. Cookie Duration
