Cookies are small text files stored in your web browser that help websites function properly. Ankored uses cookies to keep you securely logged in, protect your session, and improve the platform experience.

Ankored requires accepting cookies to use the platform. We understand this can feel uncomfortable, especially when most websites use cookie banners to get permission for advertising and behavioral tracking.

Ankored does not do any of that. There are no advertising cookies, no marketing trackers, and no data shared with ad networks. We do not sell or share personal data with third parties.

Every cookie and tool Ankored uses serves a direct, functional purpose:

• Login and session security: keeps you securely logged in

• Customer support chat: allows you to reach our support team directly within the platform

• Error monitoring: helps us detect and fix technical problems

• Product improvement tools: helps us understand how pages are used so we can improve the experience (session recording for internal use only, not shared externally)

Because all of these are integral to how the platform operates, Ankored uses an all-or-nothing consent model rather than offering selective opt-outs. There is nothing to "opt out of" in the traditional sense. There are no non-essential advertising or marketing cookies to disable.

When you visit the Ankored login page at app.ankored.com, a cookie consent banner appears before you log in. The banner explains how Ankored uses cookies and asks you to accept them to continue.

Accepting cookies simply means allowing the platform to function. There is no hidden tracking, no advertising, and no data monetization behind the "Accept" button.

Why can't I decline cookies?

Unlike most websites that use cookies for advertising and tracking, every cookie Ankored uses is required for the platform to work. There are no optional marketing or advertising cookies to decline. The accept button is confirming that you understand how the platform operates.

Does Ankored use cookies to track me or sell my data?

No. Ankored never sells your data to third parties. There are no advertising cookies, no marketing trackers, and no data shared with ad networks.

What are the product improvement tools used for?

Ankored uses session recording for internal use only to understand how pages are used so we can improve the experience. This data is not shared externally.

Is Ankored compliant with privacy regulations?

Yes. Ankored is SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA-compliant. The cookie consent banner ensures users are informed about how the platform uses cookies before logging in. Ankored's practices support both GDPR and CCPA regulatory frameworks.

Any documents uploaded for verification (such as a child's records) are permanently deleted once verification is complete. Your data is never sold to third parties.
