Cookie Policy
We believe in full transparency about the cookies and tracking technologies we use.
Effective Date: April 9, 2025
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow websites to recognise your browser, remember your preferences, and provide a better user experience. Cookies may be "session cookies" (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (remain on your device for a set period or until manually deleted).
We also use similar technologies including web beacons, pixels, and local storage. This Policy covers all such tracking technologies collectively referred to as "cookies".

3. Cookies Placed on Merchant Storefronts
When you install CrawlWithAI on your Shopify store, our tracking script places first-party cookies on your storefront to enable attribution tracking. These cookies are set under your store's domain, not ours, and are subject to your store's own cookie policy (which you are responsible for disclosing to your customers).
- _cwai_sid — Unique session identifier to track visit continuity. First-party, session-scoped. Expires: end of session.
- _cwai_src — Records the traffic source (e.g., AI platform referral) at session start. Expires: 30 days.
- _cwai_vid — Anonymous visitor ID for cross-session attribution. No PII stored. Expires: 6 months.
- _cwai_order — Set upon purchase to link the order to the attribution session. Expires: session.
These cookies do not contain personal data. They contain only anonymised identifiers. No name, email, or payment data is stored in these cookies.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Our Website does not load third-party advertising or social media cookies. If we integrate third-party analytics or tools in the future, this Policy will be updated accordingly with details of those providers.
Shopify itself may set cookies on Merchant storefronts independently of CrawlWithAI. Those cookies are governed by Shopify's Cookie Policy.
