1. What Cookies Are
Cookies are small text files that a website places on your device when you visit it. They are stored in your browser and can be read by the website on your next visit. Cookies serve a variety of purposes — from making a website work properly to remembering your preferences and helping us understand how people use our site.
Beyond traditional cookies, we may also use similar technologies:
- Local storage — stores data in your browser that persists beyond a single session
- Session storage — stores temporary data that is cleared when you close your browser tab
- Pixel tags / web beacons — small image files that may be used to track page visits or email opens
Throughout this policy, we refer to all of these collectively as “cookies.”
2. Why We Use Cookies
InsaneAlgo uses cookies to keep the website functioning correctly, remember your preferences across visits, understand how visitors interact with our site, enable secure authentication for registered users, and measure the effectiveness of our content.
We do not use cookies to: serve you advertisements, track you across other websites, build profiles for ad targeting, or sell your browsing data to third parties.
3. Essential Cookies
Essential cookies are necessary for our website to function. Without them, core features like account login, checkout, and security protections would not work. These cookies cannot be disabled through our cookie controls.
| Cookie / Technology | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Session cookie | Maintains your logged-in state during a visit | Session |
| CSRF token | Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks | Session |
| Authentication token | Keeps you securely signed in across pages | Up to 30 days |
| Cart / checkout state | Remembers your purchase in progress | Session |
4. Functional Cookies
Functional cookies enhance your experience by remembering choices you’ve made. They allow us to personalize the site based on your preferences.
| Cookie / Technology | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Language preference | Remembers your selected language | 12 months |
| Region / currency | Remembers your region for pricing display | 12 months |
| UI preferences | Stores display settings like dark/light mode | 12 months |
| Cookie consent state | Remembers your cookie preferences | 12 months |
You can disable functional cookies through our cookie consent tool, but this may affect your experience on the site.
5. Analytics Cookies
We use analytics tools to understand how visitors find and use our website. This helps us improve our content, fix usability issues, and understand which features matter most to our users.
| Tool | Purpose | Data Shared |
|---|---|---|
| Privacy-first analytics (e.g., Plausible or similar) | Aggregate page view and traffic data | Anonymized; no personal data |
| Error tracking (e.g., Sentry) | Captures JavaScript errors and crashes | Technical error data only |
We prefer analytics tools that do not require cookies and do not track users across websites. Analytics cookies are optional and you can opt out through our cookie consent banner.
6. Marketing Cookies
InsaneAlgo does not currently use marketing or advertising cookies. We do not run retargeting campaigns, behavioral advertising, or cross-site tracking. If this changes in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy, obtain your explicit consent before placing any marketing cookies, and clearly disclose which advertising partners are involved.
7. Third-Party Cookies
Some features of our website involve embedding content or loading resources from third-party services. These third parties may place their own cookies on your device:
- Payment processors (Paddle, Lemon Squeezy, Stripe) — may set cookies to enable secure payment flow
- Customer support tools — live chat or helpdesk widgets may use session cookies
- Video embeds (e.g., YouTube) — if we embed tutorial videos, the provider may set cookies when the video loads
InsaneAlgo does not control the cookies set by third-party services. Where possible, we configure third-party embeds to minimize cookie usage (for example, using YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode).
8. Browser Controls
You have full control over cookies through your browser settings. You can block all cookies, delete existing cookies, block third-party cookies specifically, or set notifications for each time a site tries to set a cookie.

9. Cookie Consent
When you first visit insanealgo.com, you will see a cookie consent banner that gives you the option to accept all cookies, accept essential cookies only, or manage your preferences to choose which categories to allow.
Your preference is stored and you will not be asked again unless you clear your cookies or your consent expires (after 12 months). For users in the EEA or United Kingdom, we will not set non-essential cookies until you have given explicit consent.
