Cookie Policy

Last updated 2026-05-14

This Cookie Policy explains how AI Ad Studio LLC ("Company," "we," "us," and "our") uses cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website at https://centerpunch.io ("Website"). It explains what these technologies are and why we use them, as well as your rights to control our use of them.

In some cases we may use cookies to collect personal information, or that becomes personal information if we combine it with other information.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, AI Ad Studio LLC) are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality to be provided on or through the website (e.g., authentication, security, interactive content, and analytics). The parties that set these third-party cookies can recognize your computer both when it visits the website in question and also when it visits certain other websites.

Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Website to operate, and we refer to these as "essential" or "strictly necessary" cookies. Other cookies enable us to maintain authenticated user sessions and provide security against bot traffic.

We do not currently use cookies for advertising, behavioral targeting, or third-party analytics. Specifically, we do NOT load Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or any tracking pixels.

How Can I Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. Essential cookies cannot be rejected as they are strictly necessary to provide you with the Services (account login, session management, security against bot traffic).

You may set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject non-essential cookies, you may still use our Website though your access to some functionality may be restricted. Browser-specific instructions are provided below.

Do We Use Flash Cookies or Local Shared Objects?

We do not use Flash cookies or Local Shared Objects (LSOs). Flash technology has been deprecated industry-wide and is not part of CenterPunch's stack.

Do We Serve Targeted Advertising?

No. We do not serve targeted advertising on the Services and we do not allow third-party advertising networks to set cookies through our Services.

What About Other Tracking Technologies, Like Web Beacons?

Cookies are not the only way to recognize or track visitors to a website. Some sites use small graphics files called web beacons (sometimes called "tracking pixels" or "clear gifs") to monitor traffic patterns and email opens. CenterPunch does not currently use web beacons or tracking pixels in either the website or any emails we send.
