Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how cookies and similar technologies may be used when you visit OpenAICircle.com.
Effective date: October 12, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your device. They can help a website remember information, maintain functionality, measure usage, and support advertising.
Similar technologies include browser local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, scripts, and device or browser identifiers. These technologies work in different ways but can serve related purposes.
2. Cookies and Similar Technologies We May Use
Depending on the features enabled on our website, technologies may fall into the following categories.
| Category | Purpose | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Support core functionality, security, and basic site operation. | Security or session-related cookies, where enabled. |
| Preferences | Remember settings or choices you make. | Preference or consent settings, where enabled. |
| Analytics | Help understand traffic, usage, and site performance. | Analytics cookies or scripts, if installed. |
| Advertising | Deliver, measure, limit, or personalize advertisements where permitted. | Third-party advertising cookies and identifiers, if enabled. |
| Browser storage | Save information locally for specific website features. | Local storage used by browser-based audit tools. |
This table describes possible categories, not a confirmed inventory of cookies on the live website. Actual technologies depend on the services currently installed and enabled.
3. Why These Technologies Are Used
Where enabled and permitted, we may use cookies or similar technologies to:
- Make website features work as intended.
- Maintain security and help detect abuse.
- Remember settings or consent choices.
- Understand website traffic and improve user experience.
- Display advertisements and measure their performance.
Non-essential cookies and similar technologies will be handled according to applicable legal requirements and the consent choices available to you.
4. Advertising Cookies
OpenAICircle may use third-party advertising services, including Google AdSense, if enabled and approved. These services may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver and measure advertisements and, where permitted, personalize ads based on applicable settings and your choices.
Advertising providers may process technical information such as browser identifiers, IP addresses, ad interactions, and information about activity across websites or services, depending on the provider’s configuration and applicable rules.
You can learn more from Google’s Advertising Technologies information and Privacy Policy.
If advertising is enabled, we will configure consent and advertising controls as required for the regions and services we support. Availability of particular controls may vary by location and provider.
5. Audit Tools and Browser Storage
Some OpenAICircle audit tools use browser local storage to save checklist responses and audit progress on your current device. This storage is separate from conventional cookies, although it can serve a similar purpose of retaining information in your browser.
Where provided, audit tools may let you export a JSON backup or print and save a report as PDF. Those files are stored through your browser and device rather than automatically synchronized to an online account.
Local audit storage does not mean that every part of the website operates offline. Hosting, advertising, consent management, and other third-party services may still process technical information when you access the site.
6. Third-Party Technologies
Our website may use third-party services for hosting, security, analytics, advertising, spam prevention, embedded content, or contact forms. These providers may set or access cookies and similar technologies according to their configurations and policies.
Third-party technologies are subject to the applicable providers’ privacy notices and terms. We recommend reviewing those notices when you want further information about a specific service.
7. Managing Your Preferences
Browser settings
Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies and clear site data. Consult your browser’s help documentation for instructions. Blocking some cookies or storage may affect website features, including saved audit progress.
Consent and advertising settings
Where available, use the website’s cookie-consent controls to manage optional technologies. You may also have advertising preference controls provided by Google or other advertising services.
Regional privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights relating to consent, targeted advertising, or the processing of personal information. We will provide and honor applicable choices as required by law.

8. Cookie Duration
Some cookies last only for a browser session and are removed when the session ends. Others may remain on your device until they expire or you delete them. Local storage may remain until the relevant site data is removed or the application deletes it.
The duration of any particular cookie depends on the service that sets it and its configuration. We will not claim a specific cookie duration unless it has been verified.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when our website, technologies, services, or legal obligations change. We will revise the effective date at the top of the page when publishing an updated version.
