Cookie Policy

1. Scope

This Cookie Policy explains how Neuralist uses cookies and similar technologies on neuralist.io and related Neuralist services and subdomains where this policy is displayed (collectively, the "Services").

2. What are cookies and similar technologies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your browser. We also use similar browser technologies, including local storage, session storage, pixels, tags, and other identifiers. These technologies can help the Services function, keep you signed in, remember settings, support integrations, measure usage, and understand whether marketing campaigns are effective.

Local storage generally remains in your browser until it is removed by the Services, by you, or by your browser. Session storage generally remains only for the current browser session. Cookies may be either session-based or persistent for a specified period.

3. How we use cookies and similar technologies

We use three categories of cookies and similar technologies:

• Strictly necessary: Used for security, authentication, session management, consent management, account functionality, integrations, and other functionality necessary to provide features you request. These technologies are always active where needed for the Services to function.
• Analytics (optional): Help us understand traffic, visitor behavior, content effectiveness, and feature usage so we can measure and improve Neuralist. These technologies are not activated unless you consent.
• Marketing and advertising (optional): Help us measure advertising attribution, campaign performance, conversions, and remarketing effectiveness. These technologies are not activated unless you consent.

4. Your choices and consent

When you first use the Services, you will be offered controls for optional analytics and marketing technologies. You can accept or reject these optional categories.

You can change your choice at any time:

Manage cookie preferences

Neuralist stores your choice in the neuralist_consent cookie so you are not prompted repeatedly on subsequent visits from the same browser. Where technically feasible, this cookie is set for the .neuralist.io domain so your choice can be respected across Neuralist subdomains.

Optional analytics and marketing technologies are not activated until you consent. If you withdraw consent, Neuralist stops initiating optional measurement and clears known identifiers where technically feasible. A page reload may be required to fully remove third-party scripts that were loaded before you changed your preference. Changing your preference does not delete information that was previously collected by Neuralist or third-party providers.

5. Strictly necessary technologies

Authentication and account security

Neuralist uses Clerk to provide authentication, sign-in, session management, and account security. Clerk may use cookies including __session, __client, __client_uat, short-lived authentication or handshake cookies, and _cfuvid where applicable. The specific cookies present and their duration may vary depending on authentication state, browser behavior, and Clerk's infrastructure.

Security and abuse prevention

Neuralist uses Cloudflare Turnstile on protected forms for bot, fraud, and abuse prevention. Turnstile processes browser, device, and interaction signals to determine whether a request appears legitimate. These checks are treated as strictly necessary because protected forms cannot be submitted securely without verification.

Cloudflare may use security-related cookies or identifiers where required by its infrastructure. If Cloudflare pre-clearance or an applicable Cloudflare challenge is used, this may include cf_clearance.

Consent management

Neuralist uses the first-party neuralist_consent cookie to remember your analytics and marketing choices. This cookie is strictly necessary because it allows Neuralist to apply and remember your privacy preferences.

Browser storage and requested functionality

Neuralist uses first-party local storage and session storage to provide and maintain app functionality and settings. Depending on the features you use, this may include authentication routing and session recovery, push-notification device information, notification choices, theme and display settings, selected boards and calendar views, layout and sorting preferences, timeline settings, synchronization state, AI workflow preferences, and temporary access or security state.

Some of this information persists in local storage so your settings can be restored on later visits. Other information is kept in session storage and is intended to last only for the current browser session or another limited purpose.

Integrations

If you choose to connect a third-party service, such as Google Calendar, Neuralist and the integration provider may use authentication, session, or security technologies necessary to establish and maintain the connection you requested. Additional information about how Neuralist processes data from connected services is provided in our Privacy Policy.

6. Analytics technologies

If you consent to analytics, Neuralist may use Google Analytics 4, Microsoft Clarity, Audacy Creator Lab, Cloudflare Web Analytics or browser performance measurement, and Neuralist's own first-party page measurement. These technologies help us understand how the Services are used, identify usability or performance issues, measure content effectiveness, and improve Neuralist.

Neuralist first-party analytics

When analytics consent is enabled, Neuralist may send first-party page measurement information to Neuralist servers. This may include the page URL or path, URL query string, referring URL, and request information ordinarily available to the server, such as the time of the request.

Neuralist may also use session storage, including neuralist.firstland, to temporarily retain the first landing URL or campaign attribution information associated with a visit.

Microsoft Clarity

Microsoft Clarity may collect information about how visitors interact with the website, including page navigation, clicks, scrolling activity, device information, browser information, and similar usage data. This information helps us understand usability and improve the website.

7. Marketing and advertising technologies

If you consent to marketing and advertising technologies, Neuralist may use advertising, attribution, and conversion measurement services provided by Google, Meta, Pinterest, Reddit, and similar advertising partners. These technologies help us understand how visitors discover Neuralist, measure advertising performance, attribute conversions, and improve the effectiveness of our advertising.

These technologies may also support remarketing, which can allow advertising platforms to recognize that a browser previously visited Neuralist and use that information when delivering or measuring advertising.

Conversion measurement

When marketing consent is enabled, Neuralist may measure events such as newsletter or mailing-list signups, trial requests or registrations, trial starts, subscription starts or purchases, and certain page visits.

Conversion events may be transmitted through browser-based advertising pixels or through server-side conversion APIs. Depending on the advertising provider and event, information transmitted may include an event type or name, event identifier, event timestamp, and advertising or browser identifiers associated with the event.

For Meta conversion measurement, Neuralist may transmit a normalized and cryptographically hashed email address, Meta browser or click identifiers such as _fbp and _fbc when available, an event name, event ID, and event timestamp.

For Reddit conversion measurement, Neuralist may transmit the _rdt_uuid identifier when available, together with a conversion or event ID, event type, and event timestamp.

Neuralist also maintains internal records used to process, verify, and troubleshoot conversion delivery. These records may contain conversion event details and identifiers associated with the event. Information about our retention and handling of personal information is provided in our Privacy Policy.

8. Technology inventory

The following table describes major cookies and browser-storage technologies used by Neuralist. Exact identifiers, availability, and expiration periods may vary based on provider configuration, browser behavior, authentication state, and changes made by third-party providers.

9. Third-party providers

Third-party analytics, authentication, security, and advertising providers may process information under their own privacy and cookie policies. Their technologies, cookie names, and retention periods may change independently of Neuralist.

10. Managing cookies in your browser

Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies and clear local or session storage. Blocking all cookies or browser storage may prevent essential features, including sign-in, saved settings, and integrations, from working correctly. For convenience, use the "Manage cookie preferences" control above to enable or disable optional analytics and marketing technologies without changing your browser settings.

11. Updates to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Services, the technologies we use, or applicable requirements. Material changes will be posted here with an updated effective date and may cause us to ask you to review your cookie preferences again.
