At Best AI Web, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we handle your data, which cookies our website uses, and how you can manage your preferences.

1. Introduction
Our website, bestai.web (hereinafter referred to as “the website”), uses cookies and other related technologies (all technologies are referred to as “cookies” for convenience). Third parties engaged by us also place cookies. In the document below, we inform you about the use of cookies on our website.
2. What Are Cookies?
A cookie is a small, simple file that is sent along with the pages of this website and stored by your browser on the hard drive of your computer or other device. The information stored in them may be returned to our servers or to the servers of relevant third parties during your next visit.
We also use localStorage, a browser-based storage mechanism that works similarly to cookies but is not sent to servers with every request. We use it to remember your cookie consent preferences.
3. Information We Collect
We believe in data minimization. We do not require user registration or personal accounts to access our content.
- Log Files: Like most websites, our hosting servers automatically collect basic technical information (IP addresses, browser type, referring pages, and timestamps) to monitor site health and prevent malicious activity.
- Search Console: We use Google Search Console to understand how visitors find our site. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
- Analytics: With your consent, we use Google Analytics (GA4) to measure website traffic and understand which pages are most popular. See Section 4 for details.
4. Use of Cookies
We process all non-essential cookies based on Article 6(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation — GDPR), which requires your explicit consent.
4.1 Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the proper functioning of the website and cannot be disabled. They allow the website to remember your consent choices. Necessary cookies are not used for profiling or marketing purposes.
| Cookie / Storage | Description | Provider | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
cookie_consent_prefs | Stores your cookie consent preferences (JSON) | Best AI Web (localStorage) | 365 days |
cookie_consent_date | Stores the date and time you gave consent | Best AI Web (localStorage) | 365 days |
4.2 Preference Cookies
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make (such as language or display settings) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. They are not used for tracking or profiling.
| Cookie / Storage | Description | Provider | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
theme | Remembers your dark/light mode choice | Best AI Web (localStorage) | Persistent (until cleared) |
functionality_storage | Consent signal for preference cookies | Google Consent Mode v2 | Session |
4.3 Statistical Cookies
These cookies allow us to measure website traffic so we can understand which pages are most popular and how visitors navigate our site. Statistical cookies do not collect personal data that directly identifies you.
The specific details processed (your approximate geolocation, device type, browser, screen resolution, operating system, language) are used privately within Google Analytics to generate anonymous, aggregated statistics. They are not intended for public display.
| Cookie / Storage | Description | Provider | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes unique visitors | Google Analytics | 2 years |
_ga_V0TB819LRZ | Maintains GA4 session state | Google Analytics | 2 years |
analytics_storage | Consent signal for analytical cookies | Google Consent Mode v2 | Session |
Note: Google Analytics 4 does not log or store your full IP address. Your IP is used only transiently to derive approximate, coarse geolocation and is then discarded — it is never retained by Google Analytics.
4.4 Marketing Cookies
These cookies may be used to deliver advertisements that are relevant to you and your interests. We do not currently run advertising campaigns, but Google Consent Mode v2 requires these consent signals to be defined. They are set to denied by default and only activated if you explicitly grant consent.
| Cookie / Storage | Description | Provider | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
ad_storage | Consent signal for ad-related cookies | Google Consent Mode v2 | Session |
ad_user_data | Consent signal for sending user data to Google for advertising | Google Consent Mode v2 | Session |
ad_personalization | Consent signal for ad personalization | Google Consent Mode v2 | Session |
5. Consent
When you visit our website for the first time, a cookie consent banner appears with three options:
- Accept all — enables all cookie categories
- Reject all — only necessary cookies remain active
- Settings — opens a panel where you can enable or disable each category individually
Once you click “Save preferences” (or Accept/Reject), your choice is stored locally in your browser for 365 days. After that period, the banner will appear again so you can review your preferences.
You can change your preferences at any time by clearing your browser’s localStorage for this site, which will trigger the consent banner to appear on your next visit.
6. Recipients of Data
We may share personal data with the following processors who have committed to implementing appropriate safeguards:
- Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland — for the services Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager.
We do not sell, trade, or rent any information (technical or otherwise) to third parties.
7. Transfer of Data to Third Countries
The transfer of personal data from cookies may be carried out to the United States of America in connection with the use of services from Google LLC. The transfer is ensured in accordance with Article 45(1) of the GDPR based on the adequacy decision for the EU–U.S. Data Privacy Framework, of which Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) is a certified member.
8. Retention Period
We process personal data from cookies for a maximum period of 24 months from the date consent is given. Depending on the type of cookie, the duration of processing may vary, as specified in the tables above (ranging from session-only to 2 years).
9. Obligation to Provide Data
A website visitor provides their personal data voluntarily, based on consent. Providing data is not a legal or contractual requirement. If consent is not given, we will not process any non-essential cookies — only strictly necessary cookies will remain active.
10. Enabling, Disabling, and Deleting Cookies
You can use your internet browser to automatically or manually delete cookies. You can also specify that certain cookies may not be placed. Another option is to change your browser settings so that you receive a message each time a cookie is placed. For more information about these options, please refer to the instructions in your browser’s Help section.
Please note that if all cookies are disabled, some website features may not function properly. If you delete cookies in your browser, the consent banner will appear again when you revisit our website.
