Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how AIWA ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our platform at aiwa.codes ("Platform"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control how they are used.

1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to the website owner.
Cookies can be:

2. Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, we may use similar tracking technologies including:
- Local storage: A browser feature that allows websites to store data on your device that persists beyond a browser session
- Session storage: Similar to local storage but cleared when your browser session ends
- Pixel tags and web beacons: Small invisible image files embedded in pages or emails that allow us to track certain actions
- Analytics scripts: Code snippets from analytics providers that run in your browser to collect usage data
For simplicity, we refer to all of these collectively as "cookies" throughout this policy.
