Cookie Policy
Last updated: December 12, 2025
This Cookie Policy explains how SYNTHESIS, operated by OrzattyStudios ("SYNTHESIS," "we," "our," or "us"), uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our AI-powered coding platform at synthesisai.pages.dev and related services. This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides more information about how we handle your personal data.
Your Consent: By continuing to use our website after being presented with the cookie consent banner, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy. You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through your browser settings or our cookie preference center.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how their sites are being used.
We also use similar technologies that serve comparable purposes:
- Local Storage: A web storage mechanism that allows websites to store key-value pairs in your browser. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to the server with every request and has a larger storage capacity. Data persists until explicitly deleted.
- Session Storage: Similar to local storage, but data is cleared when you close your browser tab or window. Used for temporary data that should not persist between sessions.
- IndexedDB: A low-level API for storing significant amounts of structured data, including files and blobs. We use this to cache project files locally for offline access and performance.
- Web Beacons (Pixels): Tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that track whether content has been viewed. Used primarily for analytics and email open tracking.
- Fingerprinting: We do NOT use browser fingerprinting techniques for tracking purposes.
2. Types of Cookies We Use
