Cookie and Similar Technologies Policy

How DeepSearch uses cookies and browser storage, and how you can manage them

2026/09/22

1. Introduction

This policy explains how DeepSearch ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and related technologies at deepsearchai.net (the "Service").

These technologies support signing in, remembering preferences and search drafts, understanding visits, and other features described below. Read this policy together with our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files stored on a browser or device. They may be set for a single browsing session or remain until they expire or are deleted.

Similar technologies include:

  • Local storage and session storage, which store settings or state in a browser
  • Pixels, tags, and scripts, which support features, measurement, security, or advertising when used
  • Device and session identifiers, which help recognize a browser or session

In this policy, "technologies" refers collectively to cookies and these similar methods.

3. Why We Use These Technologies

Strictly Necessary

These technologies support core functions requested by you and may be necessary to:

  • Authenticate users and maintain sessions
  • Protect accounts, prevent fraud, and secure the Service
  • Route requests and provide requested features
  • Remember temporary state needed to complete an action

Blocking strictly necessary technologies may prevent parts of the Service from working.

Login sessions normally last up to seven days and may be renewed while you use your account. Other temporary session information may expire sooner.

Preferences and Functionality

When you use the relevant features, browser storage may remember your language and other interface preferences. Preference information generally remains until it expires, is replaced, or is cleared through browser or device settings.

The search form also saves draft names and optional search clues in session storage so you can return to your input during navigation. Drafts normally last for the browser tab's session and can be removed by clearing site data. Browser drafts are separate from searches and reports saved with your account.

Analytics and Performance

If analytics is enabled, first-party or third-party technologies may collect information about page views, interactions, devices, approximate location, errors, and performance. We may use that information to understand use, diagnose problems, and improve the Service.

Analytics technologies may last for a session or longer, depending on the service and settings in use.

Advertising

If advertising is enabled, advertising providers may use cookies, pixels, scripts, or identifiers to deliver, limit, personalize, and measure advertisements. Depending on the provider, settings, and applicable law, these activities may involve information about your device and activity across websites or services.

Advertising technologies may be set by third parties and may be session-based or persistent.

Attribution

On your first visit, we use a first-party cookie to remember how you reached DeepSearch. It may contain campaign parameters, referral source, landing page, advertising click identifiers, approximate region, language, time zone, or device information. We use this to understand visits and campaign results.

This cookie lasts for up to approximately 90 days and may be associated with your account when you register. Deleting or expiring the cookie does not automatically remove information already saved with your account; see our Privacy Policy for retention and request options.

4. First-Party and Third-Party Technologies

First-party technologies are set or controlled by the Service. Third-party technologies are set or controlled by another provider whose service is integrated with the Service.

Third-party technologies are used only when the related integration or feature is enabled. The third party may process information under its own privacy policy, and its retention period may differ from ours.

Strictly necessary technologies may be used without consent where applicable law permits because they are needed to provide a feature you request or protect the Service.

Other technologies may be used based on consent or another legal basis available under applicable law. Using the Service alone is not treated as consent to non-essential technologies where affirmative consent is required by law.

6. Managing Technologies

You may manage technologies in several ways:

  • Adjust browser settings to block, limit, or delete cookies
  • Clear local storage, site data, or application data through browser or device settings
  • Use device or platform privacy controls
  • Use controls made available by an analytics or advertising provider, where applicable

Browser and device controls vary. Blocking or deleting technologies may sign you out, reset preferences, or prevent features from working. A choice made in one browser or device may not automatically apply to another.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when technologies, features, providers, or legal requirements change. We will post the updated policy on this page and revise the effective date.

Material changes will receive additional notice or consent where required by applicable law.
