Cookie Policy

1. What this policy covers

This Cookie Policy explains how AI Wave uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies on aiwave.es, related public pages, and the AI Wave application where authentication is enabled. It is intended to comply with the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive, and the Spanish rules that apply to cookies and similar technologies, including the LSSI-CE.

2. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. Similar technologies may include browser local storage, SDK identifiers, and pixels that serve comparable purposes. Some are strictly necessary for security and login continuity. Others are used only if you consent.

3. Categories we use

3.1 Strictly necessary

These technologies are required to render the site, remember security state, maintain sessions, prevent abuse, and keep authenticated areas functioning. They do not require consent under applicable law when used only for these purposes.

3.2 Functional and preference technologies

These remember choices such as your consent settings and, where applicable, user interface preferences. If a preference is essential to honor your consent choice, we treat it as necessary.

3.3 Analytics technologies

Optional analytics technologies help us understand traffic, performance, and product usage. They are not currently deployed as third-party tracking cookies on the public marketing site. The current site only stores your consent choice in local storage. Any future analytics cookies or similar tools will remain opt-in only.

4. Current technologies used by AI Wave

Name	Type	Provider	Purpose	Category	Typical duration
`cookie_consent`	Local storage	AI Wave	Stores whether you accepted analytics or chose essential-only preferences on the marketing site	Necessary / preference	Until changed or cleared by the user
`__session`	Cookie	Clerk	Maintains authenticated session state for the AI Wave application when a user accesses Clerk-protected areas	Strictly necessary	Session-based, refreshed while the account remains active
`__client` or `__client_uat`	Cookie	Clerk	Supports Clerk authentication state, environment handling, and session continuity where Clerk is active	Strictly necessary	Short-lived or environment-dependent
No third-party analytics cookie currently deployed on the public marketing site	Not set	AI Wave	Optional analytics remains off unless a future implementation is enabled and the user has first consented	Analytics	Not applicable

5. Legal basis

Strictly necessary cookies and equivalent technologies are used under the legal exemption that permits technologies required to provide a service you expressly request or to ensure basic security and session continuity. Optional analytics technologies are used only on the basis of your consent.

6. Third-party cookies and related technologies

AI Wave relies on third-party providers such as Clerk for authentication in protected product flows and may use analytics or observability providers if those tools are enabled later. When a third party places or reads a cookie or similar technology through our site or application, it acts under its own technology stack and subject to our contractual controls and its own privacy documentation.

Connected Platforms such as LinkedIn, Meta, Google, X, or other integrations may also set their own cookies when you leave AI Wave and interact directly with their websites. Those technologies are governed by the relevant third party, not this Cookie Policy.

7. How to manage cookies

You can manage your preferences using the cookie controls presented on AI Wave pages where those controls are available. You can also use your browser settings to block or delete cookies and clear local storage. Browser tools differ by provider, so please consult your browser's help pages.

Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent login, security checks, or other core functions from working correctly.

8. Browser-level controls

Most browsers allow you to delete stored data, block cookies from selected sites, block all cookies, or receive warnings before a cookie is stored. If you use multiple browsers or devices, you must update preferences in each one separately.

9. Future changes to analytics technologies

If we activate additional analytics technologies in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy, request any legally required consent in advance, and revise the cookie table accordingly.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect legal requirements, platform changes, or new technologies. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, renewing the consent request.
