Cookie Policy &
Zero-Tracker Transparency
At Baagupadu Technologies, we reject invasive commercial surveillance. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, data broker beacons, or behavioral remarketing scripts. Below is a full, transparent audit of the strictly essential cookies and local storage items required to operate the Baagupadu platform.
1. Strictly Essential
Authentication cookies via Clerk that keep you securely signed in to your autonomous AI companion sessions. Without these, authenticated chat is impossible.
2. Functional & Preferences
Stores your dark mode/light mode visual choice and your cookie consent status so you don't get interrupted every time you visit.
3. Zero Ad Trackers
We have completely eliminated advertising networks, remarketing pixels, and data brokers. Your self-discovery reflections will never follow you around the web.
