Cookie Policy
Last Updated: April 3, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Ricord AI ("Ricord," "we," "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website and platform at ricord.ai. It describes what cookies are, which cookies we use, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide information to site owners, and improve the user experience. Cookies may be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them).
2. Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of our platform. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
| Cookie | Provider | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| __session | Ricord AI | Session | Maintains your authenticated session state |
| firebase-auth-* | Firebase | Persistent | Stores authentication tokens and refresh credentials for secure sign-in via Firebase Authentication |
| cookie_consent | Ricord AI | 1 year | Records your cookie consent preference so we do not ask repeatedly |
3. Analytics Cookies
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. These cookies collect information in an aggregated, anonymized form.
| Cookie | Provider | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | 2 years | Distinguishes unique users by assigning a randomly generated identifier |
| _ga_* | Google Analytics | 2 years | Maintains session state for Google Analytics 4 measurement |
We have enabled IP anonymization in Google Analytics so that your full IP address is never stored.
4. Payment Cookies
When you make a purchase or manage your subscription, Stripe may set cookies for fraud prevention and payment security.
| Cookie | Provider | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| __stripe_mid | Stripe | 1 year | Fraud prevention — identifies the device across payment sessions |
| __stripe_sid | Stripe | 30 minutes | Fraud prevention — identifies the browsing session during checkout |
5. Advertising Cookies
Ricord AI does not serve advertisements and does not use any advertising or tracking cookies. We do not sell, rent, or share your data with advertisers or ad networks.
6. Third-Party Cookies
The only third-party cookies present on our platform come from the following services:
- Firebase — authentication cookies for secure sign-in.
- Google Analytics — anonymized usage analytics.
- Stripe — payment fraud prevention during checkout.
Each third party processes cookie data according to their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review: Firebase Privacy, Google Privacy Policy, and Stripe Privacy Policy.
7. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View which cookies are stored and delete them individually.
- Block third-party cookies.
- Block cookies from specific sites.
- Block all cookies.
- Delete all cookies when you close your browser.
Please note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from signing in and using core features of the Ricord platform.
To opt out of Google Analytics specifically, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
8. Do Not Track Signals
Ricord AI respects Do Not Track (DNT) signals sent by your browser. When we detect a DNT signal, we disable non-essential cookies, including analytics cookies, for that browsing session.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you via email or an in-app notice.
