2. How We Use Cookies
YPAI uses cookies on yourpersonalai.net for the following purposes:
- Security and authentication — to protect our website and verify user identity for authenticated areas such as the admin portal and freelancer portal.
- CSRF protection — to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks on form submissions.
- Bot protection — Cloudflare Turnstile uses cookies to distinguish human visitors from automated bots, protecting our contact and application forms.
- Analytics — to understand how visitors use our site so we can improve content and user experience.
- Preference storage — to remember your cookie consent choices so you are not asked repeatedly.
We do not use cookies for behavioural advertising, cross-site tracking, or to build personal profiles for commercial sale to third parties.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
3.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality. No consent is required under GDPR for strictly necessary cookies.
3.2 Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to understand aggregate visitor behaviour — which pages are popular, where traffic originates, and how visitors navigate the site. This helps us improve our content and services. Analytics cookies require your consent where consent is required by applicable law.
Google Analytics IP anonymisation: We have configured Google Analytics to anonymise IP addresses. This means the last octet of your IP address is replaced with a zero before storage, reducing the identifiability of visitor data.
3.3 Preference Cookies
These cookies remember your choices and settings to improve your experience on return visits.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on our website are set by third-party services that we integrate to deliver functionality and measure performance. We do not control these cookies directly; they are governed by the respective third-party privacy policies.
Cloudflare
We use Cloudflare as our content delivery network and security layer. Cloudflare sets cookies for bot management, DDoS protection, and Turnstile form challenges.
Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager
We use Google Analytics 4 (via Google Tag Manager) to collect anonymised usage statistics. Google may combine this data with other information they hold about you if you are signed into a Google account.
5. Cookie Duration
Cookies we use fall into two duration categories:
Session Cookies
These exist only while your browser is open. They are deleted automatically when you close your browser tab or window. We use session cookies for CSRF tokens, admin authentication, and temporary bot-challenge state.
Persistent Cookies
These remain on your device for a defined period after your session ends, or until you delete them manually. We use persistent cookies for analytics (up to 2 years), bot management (up to 24 hours), and your consent preference (12 months).
Exact durations for each cookie are listed in the tables in Section 3 above.

6.3 Our Cookie Banner
When you first visit yourpersonalai.net, a cookie consent banner is displayed. You may accept or decline non-essential cookies at that point. Your choice is stored in a preference cookie for 12 months. You may withdraw your consent at any time by clearing your browser cookies, which will cause the banner to reappear on your next visit.
Please note: Blocking or deleting essential cookies (such as Cloudflare security cookies and CSRF tokens) may prevent our contact forms and authenticated areas from working correctly. We recommend leaving essential cookies enabled.
7. Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), Norway, or the United Kingdom, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives you the following rights in relation to cookie-based personal data:
Right to Withdraw Consent
You may withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time by clearing your cookies or adjusting browser settings. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
Right of Access
You may request information about the personal data we hold about you, including data collected via analytics cookies.
Right to Erasure
You may request deletion of personal data associated with analytics identifiers. Note that anonymous aggregate analytics data cannot be attributed to you and is not subject to erasure.
Right to Object
You may object to the processing of your personal data for analytics purposes. The easiest way to exercise this right is to use the Google Analytics opt-out tool or adjust your browser cookie settings.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details in Section 8. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (Datatilsynet) or the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet) if you believe we are not handling your data lawfully.
