What Are Cookies?
Cookies and similar browser storage help us keep you signed in, remember your choices, measure how the site is used, and support advertising. Optional analytics and advertising tools load only when you allow the relevant category.
Cookies We Use
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function. They cannot be disabled.
- auth_token - Your Firebase authentication token (expires: 30 days or session)
- __session - Your secure server-side sign-in session (HTTP-only; expires: 14 days)

Performance/Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how you use our service so we can improve it.
- Firebase Analytics - Page views, feature engagement, performance, account-provider information, content identifiers, visibility, counts, and broad categories. We do not send story titles, character names, prompts, or search text.
- Server-side Google Analytics - A general image-generation event with the model, provider, content type, and product surface; it does not include the prompt, content title, entity identifier, or account identifier
- These analytics events do not operate until you allow analytics
Advertising Cookies
These cookies and scripts help us deliver ads and measure advertising campaigns.
- Reddit Pixel - Page visits and general conversion events such as signup, checkout, purchase, search, and story or character creation. We do not send story titles, character names, search text, or transaction identifiers to Reddit.
- Google AdSense - Ad delivery and measurement on eligible pages
- These scripts do not load until you allow advertising
- An enabled Global Privacy Control signal keeps advertising tracking off
Local Storage
We also use browser-local storage for these categories:
- Authentication - Firebase Authentication persistence, temporary sign-in state, login hints, and redirect destinations
- Content and feature state - Unsaved creation drafts, chat state, and other information needed to restore work or a feature after navigation
- Interface preferences and caches - Display choices and short-lived local caches that make the app responsive
- Display history - Local records used to avoid showing the same news item or ad too frequently
- Cookie choices - A local copy of your analytics and advertising choices, which expires after one year
Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through:
- Cookie Controls - Accept, reject, or change non-essential analytics and advertising choices
- Browser Settings - Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies
- Global Privacy Control - Enable GPC in a supported browser to keep advertising tracking off
Note: Blocking strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of our service.
