Cookie Policy
Last updated August 16, 2026
This policy explains how The Cognitive Muse, Inc. (“we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on thecognitivemuse.com. The short version: we use a small number of first-party cookies that are strictly necessary to sign you in and keep your account secure. We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not place third-party tracking cookies on this site.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let a site remember things between pages and visits — most importantly here, that you are signed in.
Cookies we set
All of the cookies below are first-party and strictly necessary. None are used for advertising.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
cm_at | Access token — proves you are signed in on each request. | 15 minutes |
cm_rt | Refresh token — keeps you signed in without re-entering your password. | Up to 30 days |
cm_csrf | Security token that protects your account against cross-site request forgery. | Up to 7 days |
Local storage
We also use your browser’s local storage to remember interface preferences (for example, panel layouts and display settings). This data stays on your device, is not a cookie, and is not sent to advertisers or third parties.
What we don’t do
- No advertising or retargeting cookies on this site.
- No third-party analytics or tracking pixels on the public site.
- We do not sell or share cookie data with data brokers.
Your choices
Because every cookie we set is strictly necessary, there is nothing to opt out of that would not also sign you out. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time; the public pages of this site work without cookies, but you will not be able to stay signed in to the studio.
Changes and contact
If we ever add cookies beyond those listed here, we will update this page (and, where required, ask for your consent first). Questions? Email support@cognitivemuse.app. See also our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
