1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Ankit AI uses cookies and similar technologies on ankitai.co.uk. It should be read alongside our Privacy Notice, which explains how we use and protect your personal data.

By using our website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy unless you disable them through the cookie banner or your browser settings.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites function properly, improve performance and provide usage insights. Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party service providers (third-party cookies).

We may also use similar technologies such as local storage.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

Ankit AI uses a limited number of cookies necessary for functionality, security and basic analytics.

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for the website and chat interface to function. They enable:

  • Website security
  • Cookie consent management
  • Basic session functionality
  • Core chatbot loading and operation

These cannot be turned off through the cookie banner.

Disabling them via your browser may affect site functionality.

3.2 Functional Cookies (Updated)

Functional cookies support extra features that improve your experience. These may:

  • Help the chatbot operate smoothly
  • Maintain chat interface stability
  • Store a session identifier so the chatbot can continue a previous conversation when you return

This persistent memory is stored locally on your device and does not contain personal data or anything that identifies you.

You can clear this data any time via browser settings.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how people use the site and improve performance. They collect anonymised, aggregated information such as:

  • Pages visited
  • Device type
  • Time spent on the site
  • Performance or loading issues

Analytics cookies are only used with your consent.

4. What We Do Not Use Cookies For

We do not use cookies for:

  • Advertising
  • Tracking across other websites
  • Behavioural profiling
  • Marketing
  • Identifying individual users

Ankit AI does not operate advertising or tracking technologies.

5. Third-Party Cookies (Not Named)

Some cookies or local storage entries may be set by GDPR-compliant third-party providers supporting:

  • Delivery of the chat interface
  • AI processing
  • Website hosting

A full list of processors is available on request.

6. How You Can Manage Cookies

6.1 Through the Cookie Banner

On your first visit, you can:

Strictly necessary cookies cannot be disabled through the banner.

6.2 Through Your Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to:

Blocking some cookies may affect chatbot performance.

7. Cookie Duration

Cookies and similar technologies fall into two categories:

  • Session cookies – deleted when you close your browser
  • Persistent cookies/local storage – kept for set periods to support functionality

Some functional items may remain between visits so the chatbot can continue conversations.

These do not contain personal data and can be cleared by you at any time.

Retention periods vary by provider and are reviewed regularly.
