1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how Middleverse.ai ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and platform. This Cookie Policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which explains how we use personal information.
Necessary cookies and browser storage support security, account access, privacy choices, and first-party service operation. Optional analytics storage is controlled through the consent banner as explained below.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you access the internet. They allow websites to recognize your device and remember if you've been to the website before. Cookies are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the owners of the site.
Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. We may use other, similar technologies from time to time, like web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs"). These are tiny graphics files that contain a unique identifier that enable us to recognize when someone has visited our website. In many instances, these technologies are reliant on cookies to function properly, and so declining cookies will impair their functioning.
3. How We Use Cookies
We use cookies for several purposes, including:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off in our systems. They are usually only set in response to actions made by you which amount to a request for services, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or filling in forms.
- Functional Storage: Browser storage remembers choices such as accessibility settings and cookie preferences.
- Analytics Cookies: These cookies allow us to count visits and traffic sources so we can measure and improve the performance of our site. They help us to know which pages are the most and least popular and see how visitors move around the site.
- Marketing Cookies: These cookies may be set through our site by our advertising partners. They may be used by those companies to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant advertisements on other sites.

5. Third-Party Cookies
Google Analytics is the only third-party analytics service currently loaded by the platform. Its tag is configured with analytics storage denied by default. Google Analytics cookies are permitted only after you grant analytics consent; advertising storage and ad personalization remain disabled.
Stripe may use cookies or similar technologies on Stripe-hosted checkout pages when you choose to make a payment. Those pages are governed by Stripe's privacy and cookie notices.
MiddleVerse.ai does not currently activate Facebook, Google Ads, TikTok, Amplitude, Zendesk, or Intercom cookies on this site.
6. Managing Cookies
6.1 Cookie Preferences
When you first visit our website, the cookie banner lets you accept, reject, or customize optional categories. You can reset your choice by clearing this site's cookies and browser storage, which will show the banner again.
6.2 Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to manage your cookie preferences. You can set your browser to refuse cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. The methods for doing so vary from browser to browser, and from version to version. You can get up-to-date information about blocking and deleting cookies via these links:
Please note that if you choose to block cookies, you may not be able to use all the features of our website.
6.3 Do Not Track
Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites that you do not want to have your online activities tracked. At this time, we do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals.
7. Cookie Consent
Strictly necessary cookies and storage operate without optional consent because they provide requested functions, secure accounts and forms, record privacy choices, and maintain first-party service measurements. Where consent is required, optional analytics storage remains denied until you grant it.
Choosing "Accept All" or enabling analytics grants analytics-storage consent to Google Analytics. Advertising storage, ad-user data, and ad personalization remain denied. You can withdraw consent by clearing this site's cookies and browser storage and then choosing a new preference.
8. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Cookie Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Cookie Policy.
You are advised to review this Cookie Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Cookie Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
