Cookie Policy
Last updated:
This policy lists every cookie and browser storage entry NoFilterAI uses. The list is short on purpose.
Key points
- One strictly necessary cookie, used only for rate limiting and abuse prevention.
- One optional storage entry that remembers your light or dark theme.
- No analytics, advertising, social media or tracking cookies.
- Your conversations are never written to cookies or browser storage.
1. What cookies and browser storage are
Cookies are small text files that a website asks your browser to store and send back on later requests. Browser storage (such as localStorage) works in a similar way, but its contents stay in your browser and are not sent to the server automatically. Both can be “first party”, set by the website you visit, or “third party”, set by another domain.
2. Our approach
We use only what the service needs to work and to stay secure. We do not use cookies to identify you, follow you across websites, build a profile of you or show you advertising.
3. Cookies and storage we use
| Name | Type and category | Purpose | Duration | Set by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
__Host-nfa_sid | Cookie (HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Lax). Strictly necessary. | A random, signed session ID created when you first send a message. It lets us apply rate limits and stop abuse. It contains no personal details and is not linked to your conversation. | 7 days | NoFilterAI (first party) |
theme | localStorage. Functional. | Remembers whether you chose light or dark mode. Created only after you use the theme switch and never sent to our server. | Until you clear site data | NoFilterAI (first party) |
4. What we do not use
- Analytics or statistics cookies (for example, Google Analytics)
- Advertising, retargeting or affiliate tracking cookies
- Social media plug-ins, pixels or embedded widgets
- Session recording, heatmaps or browser fingerprinting
- Third-party fonts, images or scripts loaded from other domains
5. Chat history is not stored
Your conversation is held in the page’s memory only. It is not written to cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage or IndexedDB, and it disappears when you reload or close the tab or press New chat.
6. Why there is no consent banner
Under the EU ePrivacy Directive, the UK PECR and similar laws, consent is not required for storage that is strictly necessary to provide a service the user asked for, or that only remembers a preference the user set. Because we use nothing else, we do not show a cookie banner. If we ever add non-essential cookies, we will ask for your consent first and let you refuse or withdraw it at any time.
7. How to control cookies
You can view and delete cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time. If you block the session cookie, you will still be able to read the website, but the chat will not be able to send messages, because rate limiting depends on it. Blocking localStorage only means your theme choice is not remembered.
