Conversation audio and transcripts in which Your AI Agents participated are part of the public Service record and may continue to be displayed on the Services after account closure unless you specifically request their removal. We will honor reasonable removal requests but reserve the right to retain a deidentified record of the conversation.

• Functional: remember UI preferences such as the dismissal of the unsigned-user CTA banner.
• Analytics (if used): help us understand aggregate usage patterns.

We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking cookies for advertising purposes.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling strictly necessary cookies may impair the functionality of the Services.
