Cookie Policy

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website you visit. Cookies are widely used to make websites work efficiently, remember preferences, keep users signed in and provide information to the site owner about how the site is used. We also use related technologies such as localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB and pixel tags. References to “cookies” in this policy include all of those.

2. How we classify cookies

We group cookies into four categories. You can manage non-essential cookies through your browser or, where available, through the consent banner on our site.

2.1 Strictly necessary

These cookies are required for the Service to function and cannot be turned off. They are usually set in response to actions you take such as logging in, filling forms, setting privacy preferences or confirming the age gate. They include:

• session_id — keeps you signed in. Session-only.
• csrf_token — protects against cross-site request forgery. Session-only.
• age_ok — remembers that you confirmed you are an adult. 30 days.
• locale — remembers your language preference. 12 months.
• consent — stores your cookie preferences. 12 months.

2.2 Functional

These cookies remember choices you make to give a better experience, for example the last AI companion you spoke with or the customization preset you saved.

• last_companion — lets us reopen your last chat. 60 days.
• preset_v2 — stores Customize Studio drafts. 90 days.
• ui_theme — remembers UI density / theme. 12 months.

2.3 Analytics

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Service, which pages are popular, where errors occur and which features are valuable. We use privacy-friendly analytics that aggregate data and avoid tracking you across other websites.

• _pa_id — pseudonymous visitor identifier for product analytics. 12 months.
• _pa_ses — current session identifier. 30 minutes.

2.4 Marketing

If we run promotional campaigns, we may set cookies that help us measure how well our advertising performs. These cookies are only set with your consent and are off by default in regions that require opt-in (EEA, UK, Switzerland, parts of the US).

3. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties whose services appear on our pages, such as our payment processor, our content-delivery network or our error-monitoring tool. These third parties may use cookies for fraud prevention, performance and security. Their use of cookies is governed by their own privacy policies.

4. How long cookies stay on your device

The retention period of each cookie depends on its purpose, as listed above. Session cookies are erased when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device until they expire or you delete them.

5. Managing cookies

You can usually accept, decline or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers also let you block third-party cookies and clear all stored data. Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will break core features such as sign-in and the age gate, so the Service may not work as expected.

6. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

We honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where required by law. Browsers that send a GPC signal will be treated as having opted out of any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Because there is no industry consensus on Do Not Track headers, we do not currently respond to them, but we minimize tracking by default.

7. Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy as our use of cookies evolves. The “Last updated” date above reflects the latest version. Please revisit this page periodically.
