Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how AnswerMonk — operated by Dreamport Technology Private Limited — uses cookies and similar technologies on https://www.answermonk.ai. It covers what these technologies are, exactly which ones we set, why we use them, and how you can control or switch them off.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit. It lets the site remember information between pages and across visits — for example, that you are signed in. Cookies set by the site you are visiting are called first-party cookies; cookies set by another service loaded on the page are called third-party cookies. Related technologies, such as browser storage and pixels, work in a comparable way, and where this policy says "cookies" we mean these technologies together.
Cookies can be session cookies, which are erased when you close your browser, or persistent cookies, which stay for a set period. This policy describes both kinds and makes clear which is which.
The cookies we use
AnswerMonk keeps its use of cookies deliberately narrow. We set one essential cookie to run the service, use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the site is used, and set a short-lived token when you choose to connect a Google account for an audit. We do not run advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking cookies.
| Cookie | Provider | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essential | |||
| Session cookie | AnswerMonk (first-party) | Essential | Keeps you signed in and maintains your session as you move between pages. Without it, the secure areas of the app cannot function. |
| OAuth state token | AnswerMonk (first-party) | Essential / functional | A transient value set only while you connect Google Search Console or Google Analytics, used to complete that sign-in securely. It is discarded once the connection finishes. |
| Analytics | |||
| _ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Analytics | Measures how visitors use the site — pages viewed, sessions and returning-visitor counts — so we can improve it. These identify a browser, not you by name. |
| Google Tag Manager | Google Tag Manager | Analytics | Loads and manages the analytics tags above. Tag Manager is a container for those tags rather than a separate tracker in its own right. |
Cookie names such as _ga and _ga_* are set by Google Analytics and may vary with the AnswerMonk property identifier.
Why we use them
Our reasons fall into the same two groups as the table:
- Essential. These cookies are required for the site to work. They keep you signed in, protect your session, and let you securely connect the Google accounts an audit needs. Because the service cannot be delivered without them, they are set when you use the app and are not optional.
- Analytics. Google Analytics 4 and Tag Manager tell us, in aggregate, which pages people find useful, where they run into trouble, and how many visitors return. We use this to decide what to improve next. Analytics cookies are not required to use AnswerMonk, and you can decline them using the browser controls described below.
Third-party analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager, both provided by Google, to measure site usage. When these tools are active, Google may process information about your visit — such as a truncated IP address, device and browser — on our behalf. We do not use this data to identify you personally, and we do not enable Google's advertising features.
Google's own handling of this data is governed by its privacy policy, which you can read at policies.google.com/privacy. Google also offers a browser add-on that opts you out of Google Analytics across every site you visit.
Managing or disabling cookies
You are in control of cookies through your browser settings. Every major browser lets you see the cookies stored, delete them, and block some or all of them — usually under a Privacy or Cookies section of the settings. Google's opt-out add-on, linked above, disables Analytics specifically.
Please note: if you block or delete the essential session cookie, sign-in and the secure parts of the app will stop working, because that cookie is what keeps your session alive. Blocking the analytics cookies has no effect on how the service works for you.

Cookies are only part of how we handle data. For the full picture — what personal data AnswerMonk collects, why, how long we keep it, and the rights you have — please read our Privacy Policy.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy if the cookies we use change, or to reflect legal or operational requirements. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date shown on this page, and material changes will be made clear on the page itself. This policy is governed by the laws of India.
