Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device when you visit them. They help the site remember your preferences, maintain your session, and understand how you interact with the platform. MentorNeko uses a limited set of cookies to provide a secure, functional experience. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.

2. Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the platform to function. They handle authentication session tokens and CSRF protection. Without them, you cannot log in or use the platform securely. Essential cookies are session-scoped and expire when you close your browser or when your session ends. They cannot be disabled.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies remember your preferences, such as your theme selection (dark, sage, or light). They improve your experience by ensuring the platform looks the way you expect on return visits. These cookies persist for up to 1 year.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with the platform by collecting information about page views, feature usage, and session duration. This data is used to improve the product and identify areas where the user experience can be enhanced. These cookies persist for up to 2 years.

We use privacy-focused analytics. We do not use Google Analytics or any advertising trackers.

3. Cookies Set by Third Parties

In addition to our own cookies, the following third-party services may set cookies when you use the platform:

• Vercel: Our hosting provider may set cookies related to performance optimization and load balancing.
• Sentry: Our error monitoring service may set cookies for session replay. Session replay activates only when an error occurs, helping our engineering team diagnose and resolve issues.

AI model providers (Anthropic, Google, OpenAI) do not set cookies on your device. All AI processing happens through server-side API calls, with no direct connection between your browser and AI providers.

4. Managing Your Cookies

Essential cookies cannot be opted out of because they are required for the platform to function. Without them, authentication and security protections would not work.

For non-essential cookies (functional and analytics), most browsers allow you to view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings or preferences menu. You can configure your browser to block third-party cookies or receive a notification before a cookie is set.

If you disable functional cookies, your theme preference will not be saved between sessions. If you block all cookies at the browser level, the platform will not function correctly.

5. Cookie Consent

For visitors from the European Economic Area, we obtain consent before setting non-essential cookies. Essential cookies required for platform operation do not require consent under the ePrivacy Directive.

6. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or applicable law. If we make material changes, we will notify organization administrators by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates when the policy was most recently revised.
