Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help us recognize your browser, remember your preferences, and understand how you interact with our services. Similar technologies such as web beacons, pixels, local storage, and session storage operate in a comparable way and are covered by this policy.
This Cookie Policy applies to all websites and services operated by Genius Labs AI Inc., a company incorporated in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. Our use of cookies is governed by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and, where applicable, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the European Economic Area.
Under PIPEDA, we rely on implied consent for strictly necessary cookies required for the operation of our website. For all non-essential cookies — including analytics, functional, and marketing cookies — we obtain your express consent via our cookie consent banner before placing them on your device.
If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, we rely on your explicit consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)) for all non-essential cookies. You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences through the methods described in Section 5.
We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:
Some cookies on our platform are set by third-party services we use, including:
These third parties operate under their own privacy policies and we encourage you to review them. We do not control the cookies placed by third parties and are not responsible for their content or practices. Where required by law, we obtain your consent before loading third-party cookies.
You can control and manage cookies in several ways:
Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will affect the functionality of our platform and may prevent you from logging in or using certain features. Withdrawing consent for non-essential cookies will not affect your ability to use core services.
Cookie data collected from users in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom may be transferred to and processed in Canada. Canada has been recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data under GDPR Article 45. For transfers to other third countries through third-party service providers, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with applicable law.
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Our platform currently does not respond to DNT signals as there is no universally accepted standard for their interpretation. However, you can manage all non-essential cookies through the methods described in Section 6. We continue to monitor developments in this area.
Personal data collected through cookies is retained only as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies expire according to the durations listed in Section 4. You may request deletion of personal data associated with cookies at any time under your rights in our Privacy Policy.
