This Cookie policy describes what kinds of cookies and similar technologies OpenAI uses in connection with our Services (as defined in our Privacy Policy⁠), and how you can manage them. This Cookie policy does not address how we process your personal information outside of our usage of cookies. To learn more about how we process your personal information, please read our Privacy Policy.

Types of cookies

Cookies are small text files that may be placed on your device when you interact with online services. Cookies can help services remember information about your visit, such as your language settings or when you logged in, which can improve your experience when you revisit a website. They can also be used for other purposes, such as helping online services troubleshoot errors, better understanding how their services are being used, and supporting their marketing efforts. Cookies set by us are called first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies—which are cookies from a domain different from the domain of the website you are visiting. Similar technologies, such as pixels, web beacons, or local storage, can also be used for these purposes. We use “cookies” to refer to cookies and similar technologies.

Necessary cookies

These cookies are required to operate our Services. For example, they allow us to authenticate users or enable specific features within the Services, including for security purposes.
