Cookies & Session Storage

Last updated: 7/21/2026

AiSA uses a small number of browser storage mechanisms. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking pixels.

What we store

  • Authentication session. When you sign in, our authentication provider stores your session token in localStorage so you stay signed in across page loads.
  • Anonymous session identifier (anon_session_id). A random UUID stored in localStorage. We use it to enforce the free-search limit for signed-out visitors and to associate your pre-signup chat history with your account when you sign up.
  • Hashed IP throttling. Server-side, we compute a short SHA-256 hash of your IP address to rate-limit AI queries and prevent bot abuse. We do not store your raw IP for this purpose.
  • Local chat state. Your in-progress chat with the homepage AI search may be kept in browser localStorage so a page refresh doesn't lose the conversation.

What we don't use

  • Third-party advertising cookies.
  • Cross-site tracking pixels.
  • Fingerprinting.

Clearing storage

You can clear any of this data at any time via your browser's site-data settings. Clearing it will sign you out and reset your free-search allowance for the current browser.
