1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies can be “persistent” (stored until they expire or are deleted) or “session” cookies (deleted when you close your browser).
This policy explains how Esta AI Ltd (“we”, “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies on estaai.co.uk and the Esta AI platform, in compliance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and UK GDPR.
2. Cookies we use
We use only strictly necessary cookies that are essential for the platform to function. We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking cookies.
| Cookie name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|
| sb-*-auth-token | Authentication session. Keeps you logged in to your Esta AI account | Essential | Session / up to 7 days |
| cookie-consent | Records your cookie consent preference so we do not show the banner again | Functional | 12 months (localStorage) |
Because these cookies are strictly necessary for the website to function or are set based on your action (accepting the cookie notice), they do not require your consent under PECR. However, we believe in transparency, which is why we provide this information.
3. Third-party cookies
We do not set any third-party cookies. Our authentication is handled by Supabase, which sets cookies on our domain (not a third-party domain). Payment processing via Stripe occurs on Stripe's hosted checkout page and any cookies set there are governed by Stripe's privacy policy.
If we introduce analytics or marketing cookies in the future, we will update this policy and obtain your consent before setting those cookies.
4. Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent you from logging in or using the Esta AI platform.

To clear the cookie consent preference stored in your browser's localStorage, you can clear site data for estaai.co.uk in your browser settings.
5. Changes to this policy
We may update this cookie policy if we change the cookies we use. Material changes will be noted on this page with an updated “last updated” date. If we introduce non-essential cookies, we will implement a consent mechanism and update this policy accordingly.
