Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how CraftMusic AI uses cookies and similar technologies when you access our website, AI music tools, account features, payment flows, and related services. Read it together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser or on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember information such as your login session, language preference, consent choices, and how you interact with pages.

We also use similar technologies, including local storage and analytics identifiers, where they serve the same purpose.

2. Why We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

Keep the website secure and working correctly
Maintain account sessions and payment flows
Remember language, consent, and interface preferences
Understand site performance and improve user experience
Attribute referrals, affiliate links, and marketing campaigns

3. Categories of Cookies We Use

a. Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for CraftMusic AI to function. They support authentication, security, routing, language selection, payments, and your cookie consent choice. They cannot be disabled through our cookie notice because the service would not work properly without them.

b. Functional and Preference Cookies

These cookies remember choices such as your selected language or whether you dismissed a notice, providing a consistent experience when you return.

c. Analytics and Performance Cookies

When enabled, these cookies help us understand page visits, feature usage, errors, and performance trends. Depending on the production configuration, we may use Google Analytics, PostHog, Umami, Plausible, or Microsoft Clarity.

d. Advertising and Attribution Cookies

We may use referral, affiliate, and UTM cookies to understand which campaigns or partners brought users to CraftMusic AI and to measure referral or affiliate attribution.

When you first visit CraftMusic AI, you may see a cookie notice. You can accept cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or close the notice. We store that choice so we do not ask again on every page.

You can also manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block cookies, delete existing cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Blocking all cookies may prevent login, language preferences, payments, and other features from working as intended.

If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) or similar opt-out signal, we will treat it as a request to opt out of non-essential advertising or sharing where required by applicable law.

5. Third-Party Tools
