1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Invictus AI Corporation ("Invictus AI," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on verena.ai and the Verena platform (the "Platform"), and the choices available to you. This policy should be read together with the Verena Privacy Policy, available at invictus.ai/verena/privacy.
2. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website or use a web application. We and our third-party partners may also use similar technologies, such as pixels, web beacons, and local storage, which we refer to collectively as “cookies” in this policy. Cookies allow the Platform to recognize your device, keep you signed in, and remember information about your visit, such as your preferences and actions.
3. Types of Cookies We Use
We use the following categories of cookies on verena.ai and the Platform:
| Category | Purpose | Typical Duration | Example Providers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | Required for core site and account functionality, security, load balancing, and remembering cookie consent choices. Cannot be disabled. | Session – 1 year | Verena (first-party) |
| Functional | Remembers preferences such as language, display settings, and in-product configuration. | Up to 1 year | Verena (first-party) |
| Analytics | Measures site usage, traffic sources, and performance to help us improve the site. [Confirm exact vendor(s) and cookie names before publishing.] | Up to 2 years | e.g., Google Analytics (third-party) |
| Marketing / Advertising | Used for ad targeting, retargeting, and measuring the performance of marketing campaigns. Not set until you opt in. [Confirm exact vendor(s) and cookie names before publishing.] | Up to 13 months | e.g., Meta Pixel, Google Ads, LinkedIn Insight Tag (third-party) |
Session and authentication cookies used to keep you signed in to the Platform, and to maintain Standard and Plus Human chat sessions, fall within the Necessary category and are required for the Platform to function. The specific third-party vendors and cookie names in the table above are representative examples; we are completing a full cookie audit of verena.ai and the Platform and will update this table with confirmed vendors and cookie identifiers.
4. Your Consent and Legal Basis
Where required by applicable law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and ePrivacy Directive, we rely on your consent as the legal basis for using Functional, Analytics, and Marketing cookies on the public verena.ai website, obtained through the cookie consent banner described in Section 7. Necessary cookies, including those required to authenticate and maintain your session within the Platform, do not require consent because they are essential to the Platform's operation.
If you are a California resident, you have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) with respect to the sale or sharing of personal information via cookies for cross-context behavioral advertising, including the right to opt out. You may exercise these rights through the Preference Center described in Section 7 or by contacting us using the information in Section 9.
5. How to Manage Your Cookie Preferences
In addition to the in-product Preference Center described in Section 7, you can control cookies through your browser settings, including blocking or deleting cookies. Please note that blocking Necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in to or using the Platform. Instructions for managing cookies vary by browser and are typically available in your browser's help documentation.
6. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on verena.ai and within the Platform are placed by third parties, such as analytics providers and integrations used to support Activities and Artifacts. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Platform and other websites. We do not control these third-party cookies; please refer to the relevant third party's own privacy and cookie policies for more information.
7. Cookie Consent Banner — Copy and Behavior Specification
This section describes the cookie consent banner deployed on verena.ai for your development and design team. It is provided as a functional specification and does not itself constitute the banner's legal text — the copy below should be implemented verbatim or reviewed by counsel before modification.
Consent Model
Verena uses an opt-in consent model consistent with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and ePrivacy Directive. Except for cookies in the Necessary category, no cookies are set and no analytics or marketing scripts are loaded until the visitor affirmatively consents. This opt-in behavior applies to all visitors regardless of location.
Trigger and Placement
The banner displays on first visit, or any time no valid consent record exists (including after consent expiry or a material update to this Cookie Policy).
Displayed as a bottom-of-screen bar or modal that does not permanently block access to page content, but blocks non-Necessary scripts from loading until a choice is made.
Banner Copy
"We use cookies to operate verena.ai and, with your consent, to analyze site traffic and personalize content and ads. You can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or manage your preferences below. See our Cookie Policy for details."
Primary Controls
"Accept All" — grants consent to Functional, Analytics, and Marketing cookies immediately.
"Reject Non-Essential" — declines all but Necessary cookies; no Analytics or Marketing scripts load.
"Manage Preferences" — opens the Preference Center (see below).
Preference Center
Necessary — toggle locked on, labeled "Always Active."
Functional — toggle, off by default.
Analytics — toggle, off by default.
Marketing / Advertising — toggle, off by default.
"Save Preferences" applies the selected categories; only scripts for enabled categories are loaded.
Persistence and Withdrawal
Consent choices are stored for 6 months, after which the banner re-displays.
A persistent "Cookie Preferences" link is available in the verena.ai footer at all times, allowing visitors to reopen the Preference Center and change or withdraw consent at any time.
Any update to this Cookie Policy that changes the categories or purposes of cookies used will reset stored consent and re-trigger the banner.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or applicable law. Material changes will reset stored consent and re-trigger the banner as described in Section 7. This policy was last reviewed on July 27, 2026.
