Cookie Policy

1. Introduction (TL;DR)

PAWS ML uses cookies to ensure the site functions correctly, the AI chat is uninterrupted, and we can receive affiliate commissions if you purchase supplements through our links. We do not use cookies for intrusive advertising.

2. What are Cookies?

Cookies are tiny text files saved in your browser to distinguish you from other users.

3. What categories of Cookies do we use and how long do we keep them?

🔴 Strictly Necessary (Essential)

Why: Needed to maintain your session, keep the AI chat working, and ensure security (to prevent bots from scraping the site). The PAWS ML service will not function without them.

Lifespan: From the end of the browser session up to 6 months.

📊 Analytics (Performance)

Why: We collect basic, anonymized statistics (such as which pages are read more often, or whether visitors use mobile or desktop). This helps us improve the interface.

Lifespan: Up to 12 months.

🛒 Affiliate Tracking

Why: If the AI recommends a legal supplement (e.g., magnesium) and you follow the link to a partner store, the browser saves an affiliate cookie. This lets the store know you came from us and credits the project with a small commission (at no extra cost to you). They do not track you across other sites.

Lifespan: From 24 hours to 90 days (depending on the partner store).
