Cookie Policy
AI-Driven Journal of Interdisciplinary Social Research (AI-JISR) uses the cookies that are necessary to run the site and Google Analytics cookies to understand how many people visit. It does not use advertising or profiling cookies. Last updated: 5 October 2026.
1. What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files stored in your browser when you visit a site. They are used to make the site work correctly, to keep your session and to keep it secure. For details on how personal data is processed, see the Privacy Policy.
2. Cookies we use
| Name | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
AIJISR_SESSID | Recognises your session: remembers a signed-in user, keeps the language preference and the form security tokens (CSRF), and shows notices after an action. | Strictly necessary, first party | Limited to the session; deleted when you sign out |
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics: measures the number of visits and which pages are read, as statistics. It holds no information that identifies you. | Analytics, Google (third party) | Up to 2 years |
This cookie is sent over HTTP only (HttpOnly), is not sent with requests coming from other sites (SameSite=Lax) and carries the Secure flag on secure connections. It holds no personal information such as your name or e-mail; it carries only a random session number.
You can block Google Analytics cookies with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on or in your browser settings.
3. Browser storage
The browser's session memory (sessionStorage) is used briefly for the transition animation on the sign-in and registration pages. It contains no personal data and is cleared when you close the tab.
4. Third-party services
Some pages load third-party resources to work. These are requested directly by your browser, which means your IP address and browser details are sent to the service concerned:
- Google Fonts: the site's typefaces (Inter, Noto Serif).
- jsDelivr (CDN): libraries used to draw statistics charts and to produce article PDFs and reviewer-report PDFs.
- Cloudflare Turnstile: the security check on the registration page that blocks automated (bot) sign-ups. The service may use its own identifiers to perform the check. Cloudflare may also use its own cookies for security in the site's hosting and network layer.
These services' own privacy and cookie policies apply; they do not use the data for advertising or analytics on our behalf.
5. How to manage cookies
You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. If you block the necessary session cookie you will not be able to sign in, submit a manuscript or use the forms; you can still read the open-access articles.
6. Changes and contact
We update this page when the cookies we use change. Questions: [email protected].
