Cookies & Tracking Policy

1. What are Cookies and Local Storage?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Local Storage is an industry-standard mechanism that allows web applications to store data persistently in the browser. Avla relies heavily on these technologies to maintain session continuity and cross-day analytics tracking.

2. How We Use Them

We use tracking mechanisms for essential, operational, and analytical purposes. We do NOT use third-party advertising cookies to track you across other websites.

• Authentication (Strictly Necessary): We use secure, HTTP-only cookies managed by Supabase to maintain active login sessions for Creators. Without these, the application's administrative dashboard would not function.
• Analytics Continuity (Local Storage): We generate an anonymous, randomized string (e.g., avla_visitor_id) and store it in your browser's Local Storage. This allows a Creator's Ego Analytics dashboard to recognize if you are a returning visitor across multiple days, providing legitimate analytical value without stripping your anonymity.

3. Limiting Rate Quotas (Anti-Abuse)

Due to the computational cost of running Advanced AI clones, we log your IP address temporarily to enforce Rate Limits. This prevents abusive scripting, spam, or DDoS attacks against a Creator's chat link.

4. Managing Your Preferences

Because Avla's cookies and local storage items are classified as "Strictly Necessary" for Authentication and "Functional" for core Analytics, restricting them via browser settings will fundamentally degrade the AI Chat experience. If you delete your browser data, you will be assigned a new anonymous tracking vector upon your next visit.
