Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how SpycAI uses them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website or application. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage and session storage for functional purposes within our web application.
2. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies in three categories:
Essential Cookies: These are strictly necessary for the platform to function. They enable core features like authentication, security (CSRF protection), and payment processing. You cannot opt out of essential cookies while using the Service.
Functional Cookies: These remember your preferences and settings to improve your experience (e.g., dashboard layout, sidebar state). Disabling these may affect your experience but will not prevent you from using the platform.
Analytics Cookies: We use first-party analytics cookies to understand how users interact with our platform — which features are used most, where users encounter friction, and how to improve the product. We do not use Google Analytics or any third-party analytics service that shares your data externally.
We do not use advertising cookies, retargeting cookies, or any cookies that track you across third-party websites.

4. Third-Party Cookies
We use Stripe (for international payments) and Razorpay (for Indian payments). These payment processors set their own cookies strictly for fraud prevention and payment session management. We have no control over these cookies; please refer to Stripe's Cookie Policy (stripe.com/cookies-policy) and Razorpay's Privacy Policy (razorpay.com/privacy) for details.
We do not embed third-party social media widgets, advertising pixels, or tracking scripts on our platform.
5. Managing & Disabling Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
• View cookies currently stored on your device
• Block all or specific cookies
• Delete cookies when you close your browser
• Set preferences for specific websites
Note: Blocking essential cookies will prevent you from logging in and using the platform. Blocking functional cookies may reset your preferences on each visit.
Browser-specific instructions:
• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
6. Do Not Track
Our platform respects the Do Not Track (DNT) browser signal. When DNT is enabled, we disable our first-party analytics cookies for your session. Essential and payment cookies remain active as they are required for the Service to function.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add new features or change our technology stack. We will notify you of material changes via email or an in-app notice. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
