2. What are cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small pieces of information saved on the User's device when using a website.

ArchiCompass may also use other browser storage mechanisms, in particular:

* localStorage;

* sessionStorage;

* technical session identifiers;

* authentication tokens;

* similar technologies necessary for the operation of the web application.

In the remainder of this document, the term "cookies" also includes these similar technologies, unless the context indicates otherwise.

3. Categories of technologies used

3.1. Necessary technologies

Necessary technologies are used to ensure the proper and secure operation of ArchiCompass.

They may be used in particular for:

* logging in and maintaining the User's session;

* authentication;

* Account protection;

* fraud prevention;

* permission control;

* handling file uploads;

* saving settings required for the operation of the Service;

* maintaining form state;

* ensuring the continuity of the Service's functionality.

Such technologies may be used without the User's separate consent to the extent that their use is necessary to provide the service requested by the User or to transmit an electronic communication.

Blocking them in the browser may cause the Service to malfunction.

3.2. Preferences and interface storage

ArchiCompass may locally save information regarding:

* the selected language;

* interface preferences;

* the state of certain forms;

* the current stage of the AI Project Compass;

* temporary file previews;

* privacy and cookie settings.

These data are used primarily to ensure the continuity and convenience of using the Service.

If a given technology is necessary to perform a function selected by the User, it may be used as a necessary technology.

3.3. Limited technical statistics

ArchiCompass may use a random technical browser or browser tab identifier to limit the multiple counting of the same Designer Profile view.

This mechanism is not intended to identify the User based on their first name, surname, or email address.

Statistical data may be aggregated or anonymised.

3.4. Analytical cookies

ArchiCompass may use Google Analytics 4, provided by Google, to measure traffic and use of the public parts of the Service only after you consent to analytics.

Google Analytics 4 is used to measure aggregated traffic and use of the public parts of the Service so that we can improve its content, usability, and reliability. It does not start before you consent to analytics. We do not use it for behavioural advertising, remarketing, or selling browsing data.

The tool may use cookies and similar analytical identifiers while the User uses the Service.

After analytics is selected, ArchiCompass may also save limited information about the first visit preceding registration: the path of the first page in the Service, the external source domain, UTM campaign parameters, and a referral code supplied in a link. We do not save the full referring-page address, IP address, or the contents of other URL parameters. This information is used only to understand how users reach the Service and which sources help us improve ArchiCompass; it is not used for behavioural advertising or the sale of browsing data.

3.5. Marketing and advertising cookies

As of the effective date of this Policy, ArchiCompass does not use advertising or remarketing cookies and does not use cookies to create advertising profiles of Users.

If such technologies are implemented in the future, this Policy and the consent management mechanism will be updated accordingly before their activation.

4. Technologies currently used

Depending on the device, login status, and functionality used, the following mechanisms may be used in particular:

Technology Purpose Category

5. External entities

Some necessary ArchiCompass functions are performed using the infrastructure of external providers, in particular:

* Supabase;

* Vercel;

* Google — for Google Analytics 4.

The mere use of an external infrastructure provider does not automatically mean that their cookies are used for marketing purposes.

Information regarding data recipients and data transfers can be found in the Privacy Policy.

6. Basis for the use of optional cookies

Technologies necessary for operation and security of the Service are used in accordance with the principles described in this Policy. Google Analytics 4 and optional performance metrics start only after analytics is selected in the cookie notice.

7. Consent management

ArchiCompass displays information about the technologies it uses and publishes their description in this Policy.

You can manage the analytics choice through the “Cookie settings” link in the Service footer and through browser settings. Blocking or deleting cookies may limit some Service features.

8. Browser settings

The User can also delete or block cookies through browser settings.

However, please note that blocking necessary technologies may result in particular in:

* being logged out;

* inability to log in;

* incorrect operation of forms;

* problems with file uploads;
