Cookies and similar technologies

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences, maintain security, and — if you consent — understand how pages are used. Local storage and session storage are browser mechanisms that store data on your device without necessarily transmitting it on every request. We refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" in this policy where the distinction does not matter for your choices.

2. Who is responsible

VisualSynth Inc., 213 Sterling Road, Suite 101, Toronto, ON M6R 2B2, Canada, is responsible for cookie practices on visualsynthai.pro. Questions: [email protected].

3. How we use cookies

3.1 Strictly necessary

Essential cookies and storage entries enable core Site behaviour. For example, we store your cookie consent choice in local storage under the key associated with our banner so you are not prompted on every visit. These technologies are necessary to honour your preferences and cannot be disabled through our banner without breaking that functionality.

3.2 Analytics (optional)

If you click "Accept all" on the cookie banner, we may enable privacy-oriented analytics that help us understand aggregate traffic patterns — such as which pages are visited and approximate referral sources. We configure analytics to reduce identifiability where practicable and do not use analytics data to train generative models. If you click "Reject all," analytics cookies remain disabled except for essential operation.

3.3 Marketing

We do not run third-party advertising cookies on the Site. Our banner includes a marketing flag in stored consent for forward compatibility; currently we do not deploy marketing trackers on visualsynthai.pro.

4. Cookie banner choices

When you first visit the Site, a banner with id="cookie-banner" offers three actions:

• Accept all — enables essential and analytics storage as described above;
• Reject all — stores a rejection preference and keeps analytics disabled;
• Customise — redirects you to this Cookie Policy for detail before making a choice.

You may change your mind by clearing Site data in your browser or using private browsing for a fresh prompt. Browser-level blocking of all cookies may affect Site behaviour.

5. Third-party cookies

Google Fonts may cause your browser to request font files from Google servers, which may log technical data under Google's terms. We do not control Google's logging practices. If we embed analytics or video in future updates, this policy will list those providers and retention practices.

6. Retention

Consent records in local storage persist until you clear them or until we change the storage key in a Site update. Analytics cookies, when enabled, typically expire according to the analytics provider's default windows — often up to thirteen months for aggregate statistics. Server logs are described in our Privacy Policy.

7. Your rights

Under PIPEDA and our Privacy Policy, you may ask questions about how we use cookies and related identifiers. Because many cookies are controlled through your browser, you can also manage or delete them via browser settings, extensions, or device controls.

8. Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" signals. There is no uniform Canadian legal standard requiring a specific response. We treat an explicit "Reject all" consent choice as the authoritative preference for optional analytics on this Site.

9. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add features or change providers. The "Last updated" date will change accordingly. Significant changes may require a renewed consent prompt depending on legal requirements.
