Cookie Policy

Last Updated: February 24, 2026

Arknook.com prioritizes transparency in how we handle user data, especially when visitors interact with our AI-powered name generation tools. Cookies play a key role in enhancing your experience on our platform.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They help sites remember your preferences and activities.

  • Essential cookies ensure basic site functions work, like navigation and access to secure areas.
  • Performance cookies collect data on site usage to improve speed and usability.
  • Functional cookies allow features such as saving name generation preferences across sessions.
  • Targeting cookies deliver personalized content based on your interests in AI-generated names.

These files do not typically contain personal identifiers unless you provide them. Most browsers accept cookies by default, but you can adjust settings.

Types of Cookies Used on Arknook.com

Our AI name generator relies on cookies to maintain seamless sessions during name creation. Below, we detail the categories employed.

  • Strictly Necessary Cookies: These enable core operations. For instance, they keep you logged in while generating business names or fantasy character names via our AI tools. Without them, the site would not function properly. Examples include session IDs for uninterrupted name brainstorming.
  • Analytics Cookies: We use these to understand how users engage with our name generation features. They track metrics like popular name styles requested, helping refine AI algorithms. Google Analytics cookies, such as _ga and _gid, fall here.
  • Functional Cookies: These remember choices like preferred name lengths or themes (e.g., tech startups or book titles). They enhance repeat visits by recalling past generations without re-entering details.
  • Advertising Cookies: Limited use for relevant promotions related to creative tools. Third parties like Google Ads may set these to show ads for similar AI services on other sites.

Names generated by our AI are intended for your personal or commercial use. However, users must independently verify that selected names do not infringe existing trademarks before adoption.

How We Use Cookies

Cookies support various aspects of your interaction with https://www.arknook.com. They facilitate smooth AI name generation processes.

  • Session management during extended name generation sessions, preventing loss of progress.
  • Personalization of suggestions based on prior inputs, such as genre-specific names for games or brands.
  • Performance optimization to load AI results faster on subsequent visits.
  • Anonymized analytics to evolve our tools, ensuring better relevance in outputs like domain-friendly names.
  • Security measures, like protecting against unauthorized access to saved name lists.

We do not sell cookie data. Information gathered helps solely improve the platform.

Your browser settings influence cookie acceptance. Disabling them may limit features, such as persistent name preferences in our generator.

Third-Party Cookies

Arknook integrates trusted services, which may place cookies on your device.

  • Google Analytics: Monitors traffic patterns to enhance AI tool usability. Opt-out available via Google’s opt-out page.
  • Google Ads: Supports targeted outreach for name generation enthusiasts. Manage via Google Ads settings.
  • Embedded content providers: If videos or demos on name tools are viewed, their cookies apply.
  • Payment processors: For premium features, secure cookies from Stripe or similar ensure transaction safety.

These parties adhere to their privacy standards. Review our Privacy Policy for broader data handling details.

Third-party cookies often serve advertising or analytics beyond our control. They recognize browsing across sites for tailored experiences.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You hold control over cookies. Here’s how to adjust them.

  • Browser Controls: Access settings in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge. Search for “cookie settings” in your browser’s help menu. Common steps include selecting “Block all cookies” or “Clear on exit.”
  • Site-Specific Opt-Out: Use tools like the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page or Your Online Choices for ad cookies.
  • Do Not Track (DNT): Enable DNT in browser preferences. We honor these signals where possible.
  • Cookie Consent Banner: On first visit, accept or reject non-essential cookies. Choices persist via a dedicated cookie.

After changes, restart your browser. Note that essential cookies cannot be declined without breaking site functionality.

For AI name generator users, disabling functional cookies means reselecting options each time.

Cookie Duration

Cookies vary in lifespan.

  • Session Cookies: Expire when you close the browser, ideal for temporary name generation carts.
  • Persistent Cookies: Remain for set periods, like 30 days for analytics or 2 years for preferences.

We minimize retention. Data from expired cookies is aggregated and anonymized.

As a global service, cookie data may process in the US or EU. Providers comply with GDPR and CCPA where applicable.

  • Standard Contractual Clauses protect transfers.
  • EU-US Data Privacy Framework adherence by partners like Google.
