Cookie Policy

Last updated: 10 July 2026

1. Introduction

AudioDrive AI Inc. ("AudioDrive AI", "we") uses cookies and similar technologies on audiodriveai.life to operate the website, remember your preferences and — with your consent — understand how visitors use our pages. This Cookie Policy explains what we use, why, and how you can manage your choices. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

We comply with Canadian privacy expectations under PIPEDA. Non-essential cookies are not placed until you provide consent through our cookie banner.

2. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (remain until they expire or you delete them). Similar technologies include localStorage, which we use to store your cookie consent preferences for six months.

Cookies may be "first-party" (set by audiodriveai.life) or "third-party" (set by analytics or hosting providers we use).

3. Cookie categories we use

3.1 Strictly necessary

These cookies are essential for the website to function. They cannot be disabled through our cookie banner because the site would not operate correctly without them.

• Session and security cookies: maintain basic site functionality and protect forms from abuse where implemented by hosting infrastructure.
• Consent storage (localStorage): key adai_cookie_consent stores your Accept or Decline choices for six months so the banner does not reappear on every visit.

3.2 Analytics (optional — requires consent)

If you click "Accept", we may use analytics tools to collect aggregated information about page views, referral sources, device type and general usage patterns. This helps us understand which studio pages are useful and improve site structure. Analytics data is not used to build advertising profiles or sold to third parties.

Typical analytics retention is twelve to twenty-six months per vendor defaults. IP addresses may be truncated or anonymized depending on vendor configuration.

3.3 Preferences (optional — requires consent)

Preference cookies remember choices that are not strictly necessary — for example, dismissing optional UI elements or remembering display preferences where implemented. These are only set if you consent via Accept.

4. How consent works

When you first visit audiodriveai.life, a banner offers two primary choices:

• Accept: enables strictly necessary and analytics storage.
• Decline: enables strictly necessary only; analytics cookies are not set.

Your choice is saved in localStorage for six months (approximately 183 days). After expiry, the banner reappears and you may choose again. You can change your mind at any time by clearing site data for audiodriveai.life in your browser settings.

5. Third-party cookies

Where analytics or hosting providers set third-party cookies, they act as sub-processors on our behalf. We select providers with reasonable privacy practices and configure them to minimize data collection where options exist. Questions: [email protected].

6. Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through settings. Blocking all cookies may affect site functionality, including form submission and consent memory. Consult your browser's help documentation for instructions for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge.

Do Not Track signals are not uniformly supported across browsers; our consent banner remains the primary mechanism for optional cookies on this site.

7. Contact form and PIPEDA consent

Our contact form uses a separate PIPEDA consent checkbox (consent_pipeda) for processing enquiry data. That checkbox is not pre-selected and is independent of cookie consent. See our Privacy Policy for details on personal information handling.

8. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when our tooling or legal requirements change. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the current version. Material changes will be posted on this page.
