This Cookie Policy explains what cookies (and similar technologies such as localStorage and session storage) we set when you visit www.aiclonechats.com, what each one does, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy and should be read together with it.
A cookie is a small text file a site stores in your browser. Some cookies last only until you close the tab ("session cookies"), others persist for a defined period ("persistent cookies"). Modern browsers also expose localStorage and sessionStorage for similar purposes; we group those under "cookies" in this policy for simplicity.
These cookies are required for the service to function. You cannot opt out of them; if you block them, login, payments, and core features will break.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| session_token (localStorage) | aiclonechats.com (frontend) | Stores your Bearer auth token after login. | Until logout or you clear browser storage. |
| session_token (HttpOnly cookie) | aiclonechats.com (backend) | Server-side session reference, secure & SameSite=Lax. | 30 days, rotated on login. |
| aicc_device_id (localStorage) | aiclonechats.com (frontend) | Stable identifier for anonymous trials and rate limiting. | Until you clear browser storage. |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Bot management & DDoS protection. | 30 minutes (per session). |
| cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Confirms you passed a security challenge. | Up to 1 year. |
When you log in we issue a session token in two places: (a) localStorage for use as a Bearer header on API calls, and (b) an HttpOnly cookie that the backend uses to identify you across requests. Both are rotated on each login, invalidated on logout, and tied to your user record server-side. Tokens never contain personally-identifying information directly — they are random opaque strings.
When you initiate a checkout via our payment provider (Cashfree), the provider sets its own cookies on its checkout pages to maintain the payment session, prevent fraud, and complete 3-D Secure / UPI / NetBanking flows. Those cookies are governed by the provider's own privacy policy, not ours.
| Name | Set by | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| cf_session, cf_payment_* | Cashfree | Maintains your checkout session through redirects. |
| aicc_order_pending (sessionStorage) | aiclonechats.com | Remembers the order ID you initiated so we can poll for completion on return. |
We run our own aggregate, anonymized telemetry to count generations, paywall hits, and cost meters. None of it sets a third-party cookie or tracks you across sites. If we ever add an external analytics tool (we have not as of the date above), it will be off by default and you will be able to enable or disable it from Privacy Settings.
On AI Clone Chats: visit Privacy Settings to toggle optional preferences and to clear local data tied to your account.
In your browser: all major browsers let you view, block, or delete cookies. Quick links:
If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of the service — including login and checkout — will not work. That is a property of the cookie, not a punishment.
If we add, remove, or change the purpose of a cookie, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date. Material changes that affect non-essential cookies will also be surfaced in Privacy Settings on your next visit.
