Last updated: June 19, 2026

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how IABuddy (“we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, iabuddy.ai (the “Site”). This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small pieces of data created by a web server and stored by your browser on your device while you browse a website. Cookies allow websites to remember information about your visit, such as login details, preferences or items in a shopping cart. Authentication cookies help sites keep you logged in without requiring you to re‑enter credentials on every page, while tracking cookies can record browsing activity for analytics or advertising purposes.

Cookies can be session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or are deleted. Cookies may be set by the website you are visiting (first‑party cookies) or by third‑party services whose content is embedded on the site (third‑party cookies).

3. Why we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

Essential cookies

These cookies are necessary for the Site to function and cannot be switched off. They include cookies that enable you to sign in to secure areas, maintain your session and access your workspace. Without these cookies, the Site would not perform properly.

Functional cookies

These cookies allow the Site to remember choices you make (e.g., your username or language) and provide enhanced, more personalised features. They may also be used to remember changes you have made to text size, fonts or other parts of web pages you customise.

Analytics and performance cookies

We use these cookies to understand how visitors interact with the Site, improve performance and develop new features. For example, we may use Google Analytics to collect anonymous information about page views and navigation patterns. These cookies help us see which pages are popular and identify any errors or performance issues.

Third‑party cookies

Our Site uses third‑party services to provide core functionality. For example:

  • Authentication and database services: We integrate Google Firebase to manage authentication and store data. Firebase may set cookies to support login sessions and security.
  • Payment processing: We use our payment processor to process subscription payments. The processor may place cookies on your device to remember your information and prevent fraud.
  • Content delivery and fonts: Fonts and icons served by Google may set cookies or collect information about your browser.

We do not currently use cookies for targeted advertising or marketing on our Site.

4. How to manage cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

  • View what cookies are stored on your device and delete them.
  • Block third‑party cookies or all cookies.
  • Configure settings to prompt you before a cookie is stored.

Please note that disabling or deleting certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Site. For example, essential cookies are required for login and session management; blocking them may prevent you from accessing your account.

If you are located in the European Union or another jurisdiction with cookie‑consent requirements, you will see a cookie consent banner when you first visit the Site. You can adjust your preferences through this banner at any time by selecting “Cookie Settings.”

For more information about cookies and how to manage them, you can visit allaboutcookies.org or your browser’s help section.

5. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be communicated via a notice on the Site or through other appropriate channels.
