Cookies & Tracking Notice
Review draft · Last updated November 13, 2026. Applies to this informational preview; final operator and launch details are pending.
1. What this notice covers
This notice describes the cookies and similar storage technologies used by the Embodied Software Labs website at embodiedsoftwarelabs.com. It covers this website and nothing else. There is no robotics software product, no developer platform, no application programming interface and no customer deployment, so there is no product telemetry to describe here. If any of those comes to exist, it will need a notice written for its own behaviour, and this one should not be read as covering it in advance.
2. What counts as a cookie here
A cookie is a small file a website asks your browser to store and hand back on later requests. The same questions apply to several things that are not cookies but do the same job: local storage and session storage, databases held in the browser, tracking pixels and beacons, device fingerprinting, and software development kits embedded in a page. Wherever this notice says cookies, it means all of them. A notice that covers the literal cookie and stays silent about the rest is misleading by omission.
3. What this website sets
Nothing. These pages are static documents. They set no cookies, write nothing to local storage or session storage, and open no database in your browser. Two measurement scripts do load, described in section 4; both are served from this site’s own domain and neither stores anything on your device. The navigation menu, the expanding question lists and the inquiry builder on the contact page all run from code served by this site, and they hold their state in page memory, which is discarded the moment you navigate away or close the tab.
4. Measurement
This site measures its own traffic using Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights, two features of the hosting platform that serves these pages. Both scripts are delivered from this site’s own domain rather than from another company’s server, so no request leaves for a third-party domain when you load a page.
According to the hosting provider’s published documentation, these features use no cookies. A visitor is counted using a value derived from the incoming request rather than anything stored on your device, and that value is discarded after twenty-four hours, so a return visit the following week is a new visitor as far as this site is concerned. The data is aggregate. It is not tied to an IP address and it cannot be used to reconstruct one person’s path across different websites.
What is recorded with each page view: the time, the page address, the referring address if there is one, filtered query parameters, an approximate location no finer than a city, the device type, and the operating system and browser with their versions. Speed Insights adds the page’s loading measurements — how quickly it became visible and usable — along with the connection speed and the country. That is the whole of it.
5. No advertising and no cross-site tracking
Measuring how many people read a page is not the same thing as following them. There is no advertising pixel on this site, no conversion tag, no remarketing list, no social network button that reports your visit, and no third-party tag manager through which any of those could be added later without a change to the site’s own code. Nothing here builds a profile of you, nothing is sold or shared with a data broker, and nothing follows you to another site.
6. No embedded third-party content
The site embeds no video player, no map, no chat widget, no comment system and no font loaded from another company’s servers. Embedded content is the usual route by which a site that sets no cookies of its own still causes cookies to be set, which is why its absence is worth stating rather than leaving to inference. Ordinary links to other websites do appear in the guides; following one takes you somewhere governed entirely by its own notices and not by this one.
7. The hosting provider
This website is served by a third-party hosting provider. A hosting provider may use strictly necessary cookies or equivalent mechanisms of its own to route requests, balance load, cache content and defend against abuse. Those mechanisms belong to the provider, are not controlled by the page code, and are governed by the provider’s own notices. They are not used by this venture to recognise you, to measure you, or to advertise to you.
8. Server request logs
Serving a page means receiving a request, and receiving a request means the serving infrastructure sees it. Hosting providers typically record requests for operational and security purposes: the network address a request came from, the page asked for, the time, the response code, and the browser’s own user-agent string. That is a property of how the web works rather than a choice made here. Those records are held by the provider under the provider’s own arrangements. This notice states no retention period, because stating one that has not been established and confirmed would be worse than stating none.
9. The inquiry form
The contact page assembles your message into plain text inside your browser. What you type is not placed in a cookie, is not written to storage, and is not transmitted to this website. It exists in page memory until you download it or send it. Where the page offers to send the message by email, that opens your own email program with the text already filled in; from that point the message travels through your email provider and the recipient’s, each of which keeps its own records in the ordinary way.
10. Why there is no consent banner
A consent banner exists to obtain permission before something is written to or read from your device. Nothing here writes to or reads from your device: no cookie is set, nothing is placed in browser storage, and the measurement described in section 4 works from the request itself rather than from anything kept on your machine. There is accordingly nothing for a banner to ask permission for.
Whether a particular jurisdiction nonetheless requires a notice or a choice for analytics of this kind is a legal question. This notice does not answer it, and no lawyer has reviewed it. What this section states is the mechanism, which can be checked; it is not a representation that any specific law has been satisfied.
A banner with no working controls behind it would be worse than none, because it implies a choice that does not exist. If anything that does write to your device is introduced later, a working consent mechanism has to be introduced with it, before it loads rather than after.
11. What this means in practice
You can read every page of this site without accepting anything and without anything being stored on your device. You are counted, in the aggregate sense described in section 4. Nothing here recognises you as a returning visitor, and no preference is remembered between visits, which also means any setting you change on a page starts again next time.
12. Managing cookies and site data in your browser
Every current browser lets you see what has been stored, delete it, and decide what may be stored in future. The controls sit in Settings, usually under a heading such as Privacy, Security or Site settings, and most browsers also allow you to clear data for one site without touching the rest. Blocking storage entirely will not affect this site, because this site stores nothing. It will affect sites that depend on storage, including the sign-in step of any private hosting or preview environment used while this site is under development.
13. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
Some browsers send a Do Not Track header or a Global Privacy Control signal to express a preference against tracking and against the sale or sharing of personal information. Nothing on this site is sold or shared, and the measurement described above does not follow anyone between sites, so there is no such activity for those signals to stop. This site does not act on either signal, and this notice makes no claim about how the hosting provider or any other website treats them.
14. Children
This website is addressed to developers, robot manufacturers and commercial operators. It is not directed at children. It collects nothing from anyone, children included, because it collects nothing at all.
15. What would have to change again
Adding advertising or marketing tools, embedded media, a chat widget, a persistent store for inquiries, accounts or payments would each change the answer above. Any of them requires a fresh inventory of exactly what is set, by whom, for what purpose and for how long; a revised version of this notice published before the technology goes live; and, where consent is required, a working mechanism that loads nothing until a choice has been made. An item appears in this notice when it is true, not when it is planned.
16. Questions about this notice
Questions about this notice, or about anything described in it, can be sent to support@embodiedsoftwarelabs.com. A question about data handling that this notice does not answer is worth asking, because an unanswered question usually means the notice is incomplete rather than that the answer is obvious.
17. Changes to this notice
The date at the top of this page is the date this version was published. The operator is Synthari AI LLC, a Florida limited liability company, of 6903 Kenwood Road, Fort Pierce, Florida 34951. This notice has not been reviewed by counsel. Where it and the development status page disagree about what is implemented, the status page is correct.
