Last updated: 14 April 2026

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, to remember your preferences, and to provide analytical information to site owners. SomaticAI uses a minimal set of cookies necessary to operate the Platform securely and to remember your preferences.

2. Cookies We Use

3. Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are strictly necessary for the Platform to function. They enable core features such as authentication, session management, and security. You cannot opt out of essential cookies while using the Platform; however, you may delete them at any time through your browser settings, which will log you out of your account.

4. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember your preferences (such as voice selection and theme) to provide a more personalised experience. They are not essential to the Platform's operation. You may disable them in your browser without affecting core functionality, though your preferences will not be saved between sessions.

5. Analytics Cookies

We use a self-hosted analytics solution that sets a single anonymous identifier cookie. This cookie does not contain any personal information and cannot be used to identify you across other websites. The data collected is used solely to understand aggregate usage patterns and improve the Platform. No data is shared with third-party advertising networks.

6. Third-Party Cookies (Stripe)

When you proceed to checkout, Stripe sets cookies on your device to prevent fraud and ensure the security of the payment process. These cookies are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy. SomaticAI does not control or have access to these cookies.

7. Managing Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, and set preferences for specific websites. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform. Links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:
