Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 20, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Simulations4All ("we," "our," or "us") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how their site is being used.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes:
- To enable essential website functionality
- To remember your preferences and settings
- To keep you signed in to your account
- To understand how you found us and how you use our website
- To improve simulations, tools, content, performance, and reliability
- To measure the effectiveness of our features
- To distinguish human traffic from bots and abuse
- To display and measure advertising when enabled
Necessary technologies operate when required for the Service. Audience measurement uses regional defaults and any preference saved in this browser. Advertising storage and personalization stay off unless you explicitly enable them below.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies
Required for the website to function properly. These cannot be disabled.
Examples:
- Session management
- Security features
- User authentication
Retention Period:
Session or up to 1 year
Functional Cookies
Enable enhanced functionality and personalization.
Examples:
- Language preferences
- Theme settings
- Saved favorites
Retention Period:
Browser-configured; some local preferences remain until cleared or replaced
Analytics Cookies
Technologies that help us understand how visitors find, browse, and use our website and simulations. Their default behavior depends on region and any choice saved in this browser.
Examples:
- Anonymous visitor/session IDs
- First-touch and last-touch attribution
- Page views and navigation paths
- Device, browser, and capability summaries
Retention Period:
Raw first-party events have a 90-day target; operational delays or backups may extend deletion, and browser/provider identifiers follow their configured lifetimes
Performance Cookies
Optional performance and browser-monitoring technologies that help us improve reliability and user experience.
Examples:
- Core Web Vitals
- API latency/status
- Resource failures
- Simulation timing
Retention Period:
Summaries may be retained longer; raw first-party events have a 90-day target, subject to operational delays, backups, and legal needs
Advertising Cookies
Optional Google AdSense and partner technologies used only when advertising is configured and you explicitly enable advertising preferences.
Examples:
- Ad delivery and frequency limits
- Ad security
- Ad interaction measurement
Retention Period:
Provider-configured; see Google advertising controls and policies
Attribution Parameters
URL parameters and referrer details used to understand which links, campaigns, or search results brought visitors to us.
Examples:
- UTM parameters
- gclid
- fbclid
- msclkid
- Referring domain category
Retention Period:
Server-side values in raw events follow the intended 90-day target; first/last-touch values in local storage remain until cleared, replaced, or browser data is removed
Third-Party Services and Browser Technologies
When configured and enabled, a third-party service may set or access cookies or similar browser storage, receive network requests or metadata, or process data even when that service does not set a cookie. Actual behavior depends on the enabled feature, provider, account configuration, browser, and region. Relevant service categories include:
- Analytics and monitoring providers such as Google Analytics and, when configured, Sentry to understand usage, errors, and performance
- Advertising providers such as Google AdSense when advertising is configured
- Authentication services for social login features
- Content delivery networks for faster page loading
We do not control provider technologies or their independent processing. Refer to each enabled provider's current privacy and cookie information.
Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use other similar technologies:
- Local Storage: Stores data locally in your browser for persistent preferences, anonymous analytics IDs, first-touch attribution, visit counts, and your analytics and advertising choice. Analytics identifiers may be created where permitted unless you turn audience measurement off. Local-storage identifiers and first- or last-touch values may remain until cleared, overwritten, or removed with browser data
- Session Storage: Temporary storage that is cleared when you close your browser, including session IDs and per-session event sequence counters
- Browser APIs: Provide coarse device, viewport, network, performance, WebGL/WebGPU, WASM, and interaction signals when available
- Web Beacons and Beacon Requests: Send analytics events reliably, including on page unload
Managing Cookies
Google Analytics measurement is on by default where permitted. In the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, analytics storage is denied until enabled; Google may still receive limited cookieless consent and measurement signals. Advertising consent signals remain denied until explicitly enabled. The setting below also applies to first-party product, AI Tutor, and SimLab analytics and optional browser monitoring. Turning optional tools off records a browser-level preference, sends Google denial signals, stops participating first-party clients from creating new optional events, and attempts to remove accessible analytics and advertising cookies. Provider code already loaded in another tab may not receive the change immediately; reload or close other Simulations4All tabs after changing it. The setting cannot guarantee that no provider or network signal is sent, erase data already received, or disable necessary account, security, fraud-prevention, operational, or legal logs.
Browser privacy settings
Audience measurement follows regional defaults. Advertising stays off unless you enable it. Learn more.
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:
- View cookies stored on your device
- Delete all or specific cookies
- Block all cookies or third-party cookies
- Set preferences for specific websites
Here's how to manage cookies in common browsers:
Please note: Using browser settings to block all cookies may affect account, sign-in, security, and saved-preference functionality. Disabling optional measurement through our setting should not prevent core tools from working.
Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that signals to websites that you do not want your online activity tracked. Our website currently does not respond to Do Not Track signals, as there is no standard for how websites should respond. You can use the preference control above to manage the optional technologies listed there for this browser.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
