This Cookie Policy (“Policy”) explains how Joist Technologies Inc. ("Joist AI", "we", "us", or "our") use cookies and similar technologies to recognize you when you visit our website (https://www.joist.ai/) (the “Website”) as well as the use of our software (“Software”, and together with the Website, the “Services”). It describes what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
Cookies are small data files placed on your device (computer, tablet, mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and personalized content. Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Joist AI) are called “first-party cookies.” Cookies set by parties other than Joist AI are called “third-party cookies.” Third-party cookies enable features or functionality such as advertising and analytics.
We use cookies and related technologies (such as web beacons and local storage) to:
- Authenticate users and manage sessions
- Enhance and personalize your experience
- Understand site traffic and usage trends
- Deliver and measure advertising and promotional efforts
We use the following categories of cookies:
a. Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of our Services. They enable basic features such as page navigation, access to secure areas, and authentication. Without these cookies, our Services cannot function properly.
b. Functional Cookies
These cookies enhance the usability and customization of our Services by remembering your preferences and settings.
c. Analytics Cookies
Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously.
d. Performance Cookies
These cookies monitor system performance and website behavior to improve speed, responsiveness, and the overall user experience.
e. Advertisement Cookies
Advertisement cookies are used to deliver content and advertisements that are relevant to you. They also help limit the number of times you see an ad and measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns. These may be set through our site by advertising partners.
A listing of the specific cookies that we use can be found here.
Where required by applicable law (e.g., the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”)), we only place cookies on your device with your explicit consent, except where cookies are strictly necessary for the functioning of our Services. You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your browser settings.
We retain cookie data for the minimum period necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by law. Data retention periods may vary depending on cookie type and applicable regulations.
Our use of third-party cookies means data may be shared with external providers (e.g., analytics or advertising platforms). We do not control these third-party tracking technologies. Their use is governed by the respective privacy policies of those providers.
Google Analytics is a web analytics tool that helps us understand how users engage with our Sites. Like many services, Google Analytics uses cookies to track user interactions. This information is used to compile reports and to help us improve your experience, our Sites and Services. The reports disclose website trends without identifying individual visitors. For more information on Google Analytics, see here.
You can opt out of Google Analytics without affecting how you use our Services – for more information on opting out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all websites you visit, see here.
We may also share certain information such as your location, browser and cookie data and other data relating to your use of our Services with our business partners to deliver personalized advertisements (“ads”) that may be of interest to you.
Joist AI may allow third-party ad servers or ad networks to serve personalized advertisements either on the Service or on third party websites, including Facebook, Microsoft, LinkedIn, and Google. These third-party ad servers or ad networks use technology to send, directly to your browser or mobile device, these personalized ads and ad links, and will automatically receive your IP address when they do so. They may also use other technologies (see above) to compile information about your browser’s or device’s visits; usage patterns; to measure the effectiveness of their ads; and to personalize advertising content. Joist AI does not sell, rent, or share the information we collect directly from you via Cookies or about you from third parties with these third-party ad servers or ad networks for such parties’ own marketing purposes.

You have a choice about whether you permit other Cookies, but please note that some features or Services may not work as well as you’d expected if you opt out.We may also share certain information such as your location, browser and cookie data and other data relating to your use of our Services with our business partners to deliver personalized advertisements (“ads”) that may be of interest to you.
