Cookie Policy

Last updated: May 15, 2024

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Shiori ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website and use our AI assistant platform ("Service"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Shiori) are called "first-party cookies". Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies". Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., advertising, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Why do we use cookies?

We use first-party and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Service to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Service. Third parties serve cookies through our Service for advertising, analytics, and other purposes.

The specific types of first and third-party cookies served through our Service and the purposes they perform are described below:

Types of cookies we use

Essential cookies

These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our Service and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Service, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our Service functions.

  • Authentication cookies: These cookies help us identify our users so that when you're logged in, you can enjoy our offerings, experiences, and various features.
  • Security cookies: These cookies help us detect and prevent security risks.
  • Service functionality cookies: These cookies allow us to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, more personal features.

Performance and analytics cookies

These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our Service. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the Service.

All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. If you do not allow these cookies we will not know when you have visited our Service, and will not be able to monitor its performance.

  • Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics and other analytics providers to help us understand how users engage with the Service.
  • Performance cookies: These cookies collect information about how visitors use our Service, for instance which pages visitors go to most often.

Targeting and advertising cookies

These cookies are used to make advertising messages more relevant to you and your interests. They also perform functions like preventing the same ad from continuously reappearing, ensuring that ads are properly displayed, and in some cases selecting advertisements that are based on your interests.

  • Advertising cookies: These cookies are used to deliver advertisements more relevant to you and your interests.
  • Social media cookies: These cookies are used when you share information using a social media sharing button or engage with our content on or through a social media platform.

How can you control cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can exercise your cookie preferences as follows:

Browser controls

Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences. You can set your browser to refuse cookies or delete certain cookies. Generally, you can also manage similar technologies in the same way that you manage cookies – using your browser's preferences.

The following links show how to adjust the cookie settings on commonly used browsers:

Please note that if you choose to reject cookies, you may not be able to use the full functionality of our Service.

Cookie preference center

When you first visit our Service, you will be presented with a cookie banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking on the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer of our website.

Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. These features are not yet uniform, so we are currently not set up to respond to such signals.

How often will we update this Cookie Policy?

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated.
