Cookie Policy
Last Updated: April 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Trigada AI ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and comparable tracking technologies across our website at trigada.com and any subdomains, interactive tools, or related online properties (collectively, the "Site"). The purpose of this document is to describe, in plain terms, what cookies are, which cookies we deploy, why we rely on them, and the choices you have to manage or disable them.
This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains in more detail how we handle personal data collected through the Site, and our Terms of Service, which govern your overall use of Trigada AI. Where consent is required under applicable law, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner on your first visit to the Site (and periodically thereafter). That banner allows you to accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences category by category. Continuing to use the Site after you have made a selection indicates acceptance of the choices you recorded in the banner.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website places on the device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other connected device) you use to browse the internet. Once stored, a cookie allows the website (or a trusted partner acting on its behalf) to recognize your device on return visits, remember settings you have chosen, and understand how you interact with different pages. Cookies do not typically contain information that personally identifies you on their own, but when combined with other identifiers they may be considered personal data under certain privacy laws.
Cookies are commonly classified along two dimensions:
- First-party vs. third-party. First-party cookies are set directly by trigada.com and can only be read by us. Third-party cookies are set by external providers whose scripts or content are embedded on our Site (for example, analytics vendors or advertising platforms) and can be read by those providers when you visit other sites that use them.
- Session vs. persistent. Session cookies exist only while your browser tab or window is open and are deleted automatically once you close it. Persistent cookies remain on your device for a defined period of time (minutes, days, months, or longer) or until you manually clear them, enabling the Site to recognize you across multiple visits.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We group the cookies and similar identifiers used on the Site into four categories. Only strictly necessary cookies are loaded by default. All other categories require your affirmative consent through the cookie banner before they activate.
3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are indispensable for the Site to function correctly and cannot be disabled through our preference controls. Without them, core services such as secure page navigation, form submission, and load distribution would not operate. They include, among others:
- Session identifiers that maintain the continuity of your visit as you move between pages
- Security tokens that protect against cross-site request forgery and other malicious activity
- A consent storage cookie that records the preferences you set in our cookie banner so we do not re-prompt you on every page
- Load-balancing cookies that route your requests to the most appropriate server to keep the Site responsive
Because these cookies are essential to delivering the services you request, we rely on a lawful basis other than consent (such as legitimate interest or performance of a contract) where applicable.
3.2 Analytics & Performance Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site so that we can improve layout, content, and performance. Aggregated data such as the number of visitors, the pages they view, time on page, and sources of traffic is collected. These cookies are only set after you provide consent. Tools we may use include:
- Google Analytics (for traffic and behavior reporting)
- Google Tag Manager (to orchestrate measurement tags)
- Hotjar (for heatmaps, session replays, and usability insights)
- Microsoft Clarity (for interaction analysis and performance diagnostics)
3.3 Marketing & Advertising Cookies
Marketing cookies help us measure the effectiveness of our advertising, deliver content that is more relevant to you across other websites and platforms, and limit how many times you see a particular message. These cookies are only activated after you opt in through the cookie banner. They may be set by the following partners:
- Meta Pixel (Facebook and Instagram advertising)
- Google Ads and related remarketing products
- TikTok Pixel
- LinkedIn Insight Tag
- X (formerly Twitter) conversion tracking
- Pinterest Tag
- Snapchat Pixel
- Microsoft UET (Bing) tag
3.4 Functional & Preference Cookies
Functional cookies allow the Site to remember choices that improve the quality of your experience. They do not track you across other websites. Examples include:
- Language and regional settings
- Interface preferences such as theme, layout, or previously dismissed notices
- Embedded chat and support tools that maintain conversation context
- Form auto-fill helpers that retain non-sensitive entries between visits
4. Similar Tracking Technologies
In addition to cookies, the Site may use other technologies that serve comparable purposes. References in this Policy to "cookies" should generally be understood to include these technologies unless the context indicates otherwise:
- Web beacons and pixel tags. Tiny, transparent images embedded in pages or emails that signal when content has been loaded and may capture information such as IP address, browser type, and timestamp.
- Local storage. A browser feature that allows us (or our vendors) to store data on your device that persists across sessions until deleted.
- Session storage. A browser feature similar to local storage but scoped to a single tab or window and cleared when that tab or window is closed.
- Device fingerprinting. Techniques that infer a probabilistic identifier from combinations of device attributes (such as screen resolution, installed fonts, time zone, and user agent) to help detect fraud or recognize returning visitors.
5. Third-Party Cookies
Some of the cookies described above are set by third parties we engage to deliver services on the Site. When a third party sets a cookie, it is subject to that party's own privacy and cookie practices, which are independent of ours. Examples of third parties whose cookies may appear on trigada.com include, without limitation, Google (Analytics, Ads, Tag Manager), Meta (Facebook, Instagram), LinkedIn, Microsoft (Clarity, UET), TikTok, Pinterest, Snapchat, and X.
Industry associations maintain centralized tools that let you opt out of many interest-based advertising cookies at once. You may find the following resources helpful:
- Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out: optout.networkadvertising.org
- Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) opt-out: optout.aboutads.info
- European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) opt-out: youronlinechoices.eu
Trigada AI is not responsible for the availability or ongoing effectiveness of third-party opt-out mechanisms.
6. How to Control Cookies
You have several tools at your disposal to manage how cookies are used on the Site:
- Cookie consent banner. On your first visit, and whenever you choose to revisit your selections, our banner lets you accept all cookies, reject all non-essential cookies, or customize your preferences by category. You can reopen the banner at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in our footer.
- Browser settings. Most modern browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies through their settings menu. You can usually find these controls under "Privacy," "Security," or "Site settings." Please consult your browser's help documentation for step-by-step instructions. Blocking all cookies may impair certain features of the Site.
- Do Not Track (DNT) signals. Some browsers transmit a DNT header to indicate a user's preference not to be tracked. Because there is no agreed-upon industry standard for how to interpret DNT, our Site does not currently respond to DNT signals differently from the preferences you register in our consent banner.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC). Where legally required, we treat a valid GPC signal transmitted by your browser or extension as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and the use of non-essential cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising.
7. Legal Basis for Using Cookies
The legal basis on which we rely to place cookies depends on the type of cookie and your location. Where multiple regimes apply, we endeavor to comply with the most protective standard that is practical.
- EEA (GDPR and ePrivacy Directive). We rely on your consent for all non-essential cookies. For strictly necessary cookies, we rely on our legitimate interest in operating a secure, functioning website or the necessity of performing our contract with you.
- United Kingdom (UK GDPR and PECR). The same consent-first approach applies: non-essential cookies are set only after you opt in, and essential cookies are justified on the basis of necessity.
- United States (CCPA / CPRA and state privacy laws). Where our use of certain cookies constitutes a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under applicable state law, California and other eligible residents may opt out via the cookie banner, the "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link, or a recognized GPC signal.
- Brazil (LGPD). We rely on your consent for non-essential cookies and on other lawful bases (such as legitimate interest or the execution of a contract) for essential cookies, as permitted under the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados.
- Canada (PIPEDA and provincial statutes). We obtain appropriate consent (express or implied, depending on sensitivity) for the use of cookies and related technologies.
- Other jurisdictions. In regions with their own data protection frameworks (for example, Australia, Japan, South Africa, the UAE, India, and Singapore), we comply with local consent and notice requirements applicable to cookies and online tracking.
8. Data Collected Through Cookies
Depending on the categories of cookies you accept, the data collected through cookies and similar technologies may include:
- IP address and approximate, derived geographic location (typically city or region level)
- Browser type, version, and language
- Operating system and device type
- Screen resolution and device characteristics used for responsive design
- Referring URL and the search terms or campaign that led you to the Site
- Pages and sections viewed, time spent, scroll depth, and clicks or taps
- Interactions with advertisements, form fields, and calls to action
- Anonymous or pseudonymous identifiers used for analytics and advertising attribution
We do not use cookies to collect financial account numbers, payment card details, brokerage credentials, or similarly sensitive financial data. Information you actively provide through forms, subscriptions, or account registrations is governed by our Privacy Policy.
9. Cookie Retention Periods
Different cookies are kept for different amounts of time, based on their purpose and applicable legal requirements. Typical retention periods on the Site are as follows:
- Session cookies: cleared automatically when you close your browser
- Consent preference cookie: approximately 365 days, so we can remember your choice across visits
- Google Analytics cookies: up to 26 months for core measurement cookies
- Meta Pixel cookies: up to 180 days
- Other advertising and remarketing cookies: generally between 30 days and 13 months, depending on the platform
- Functional and preference cookies: up to 12 months, so settings persist between visits
You may delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Doing so will reset the associated preferences and, in some cases, re-trigger the cookie consent banner on your next visit.
10. Children's Privacy
The Site is directed at adults and is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly use cookies or other tracking technologies to collect information from persons under 18. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such information from a minor, we will take reasonable steps to delete it and remove the corresponding cookies. Parents or guardians who believe a minor has interacted with the Site are encouraged to contact us so that we can promptly address the matter.
11. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, applicable laws, the vendors we work with, or the way we operate the Site. When we make material changes, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Policy and, where appropriate, notify you through a banner, email, or other reasonable means. We encourage you to review this page periodically so that you remain informed about our use of cookies.
