Privacy & Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 17, 2026 · Applies to agdex.ai
1. Introduction
Welcome to AgDex ("we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy & Cookie Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you visit agdex.ai (the "Site"). We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and complying with applicable privacy regulations including GDPR, CCPA, and PIPEDA.
2. Who We Are
AgDex is an independent, editorially driven directory of AI Agent resources. We are operated as an independent project. For privacy-related inquiries, contact us at [email protected].
3. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Automatically collected data — When you visit the Site, certain technical information is automatically recorded, including your IP address (anonymized), browser type and version, operating system, referral URL, pages visited, and time of visit. This data is collected via third-party analytics services and is not linked to your identity.
- Advertising data — Google AdSense, our advertising partner, collects data to serve personalized or non-personalized advertisements. This may include cookie identifiers, device information, and browsing behavior across websites.
- Contact data — If you email us at [email protected], we receive your email address and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to your inquiry.
We do not collect: names, passwords, payment information, or any account registration data. AgDex has no user accounts.
4. Cookie Policy
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. AgDex uses the following types of cookies:
| Cookie Type | Purpose | Set By | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Functional | Remembers your language preference (agdex-lang) | AgDex (localStorage) | Persistent (until cleared) |
| Analytics | Anonymized page view tracking | Cloudflare Web Analytics | Session / 1 year |
| Advertising | Ad personalization, frequency capping, conversion tracking | Google AdSense | Up to 2 years |
Language preference is stored in localStorage, not cookies — it stays on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.
5. Google AdSense & Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on the Site. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our Site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or by visiting www.aboutads.info.
For more information on how Google uses data when you use our Site, see Google's Privacy & Terms.
6. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve content and navigation
- Display advertisements to fund free access to the directory
- Respond to emails and support inquiries
- Detect and prevent technical issues or abuse
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
7. Affiliate Links
Some links on AgDex are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate links are marked with rel="sponsored" in the HTML and are clearly labeled on the page. This does not affect our editorial independence — all listings are evaluated on merit.
8. Your Rights & Choices
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:
- Access — Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you
- Deletion — Request deletion of personal data we hold
- Opt-out of advertising cookies — Use Google's opt-out tools or your browser's cookie controls
- Do Not Track — We respect browser-level Do Not Track signals where technically feasible
To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.
9. How to Manage or Disable Cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some features (e.g., language preference may reset on each visit). Instructions for major browsers:
10. Data Retention
We do not store personal data on our own servers beyond what is technically necessary for page delivery. Third-party services (Google AdSense, Cloudflare) retain data according to their own policies:
- Google advertising data: retained for up to 2 years per Google's policy
- Cloudflare analytics: aggregated, non-personal data retained for up to 1 year
- Email correspondence: retained for up to 2 years, then deleted
11. Data Security
AgDex is a static website with no backend database or user authentication system, which minimizes the data security risk substantially. The Site is served over HTTPS. We do not collect or store payment information.
12. Third-Party Links
AgDex links to hundreds of third-party tools and services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information. All outbound links open in a new tab with rel="noopener" for your security.
13. Children's Privacy
This Site is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it promptly.
14. International Users
AgDex is operated from a global infrastructure (Cloudflare CDN). If you are visiting from the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or California, the following additional provisions apply:
- GDPR (EEA/UK) — Our legal basis for processing analytics data is legitimate interest. For advertising cookies, we rely on your consent as expressed through browser/ad settings. You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
- CCPA (California) — We do not sell personal information. California residents may request disclosure of personal data collected in the past 12 months by emailing [email protected].
15. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy & Cookie Policy periodically. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
