Cookie Policy

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how reasoning.services ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

2. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.

Cookies can be:

• Session cookies: Temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies: Cookies that remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted
• First-party cookies: Set by the website you are visiting
• Third-party cookies: Set by external services embedded on the website

3. Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential Authentication Cookies

We use cookies that are strictly necessary for authentication and account access. These are set by Amazon Cognito (our identity provider) when you sign in. Without them, sign-in is not possible.

3.2 No Analytics or Marketing Cookies

We currently do not use any analytics cookies (e.g., Google Analytics) or marketing cookies (e.g., advertising pixels). If we introduce such cookies in the future, we will:

• Update this Cookie Policy
• Implement a cookie consent banner (if required)
• Provide opt-out mechanisms
• Notify users of the changes

4. Why We Use Cookies

• Authentication: To keep you signed in across pages and sessions
• Security: To detect and prevent malicious activity and abuse
• Service Reliability: To ensure the website functions correctly across different browsers and devices

5. How to Control and Delete Cookies

5.1 Browser Controls

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:

• View and delete cookies stored on your device
• Block all cookies
• Block third-party cookies only
• Clear all cookies when you close your browser
• Receive a notification before a cookie is stored

Browser-specific instructions:

• Chrome: Cookie settings for Chrome

5.2 Impact of Blocking Cookies

6. GDPR and Cookie Consent

6.1 Legal Basis for Cookie Use

Under the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR, essential authentication cookies do not require explicit user consent because they are strictly necessary to deliver the service you have requested (signing in). Analytics and marketing cookies require explicit opt-in consent before placement; we currently do not use such cookies.

6.2 Your GDPR Rights

You have the right to:

• Access data collected through cookies
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to cookie-based processing
• Lodge a complaint with your data protection authority

To exercise these rights, see our Privacy Policy for contact information.

7. Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals to websites. At this time, there is no industry standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals. We currently do not respond to DNT signals, but we minimize tracking by:

• Only using essential authentication cookies
• Not using analytics or marketing cookies
• Not operating any third-party error tracking or session replay

8. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in:

• Cookies we use
• Legal requirements
• Third-party service providers
• Cookie technologies

When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and may provide additional notice.
