How They Work

When you visit our website or use our app, we may place cookies on your device. These cookies help us provide you with a better experience by remembering your preferences and analyzing how you interact with our content.

How We Use Cookies

Core Functionality

We use cookies to provide core functionality like remembering your story settings, keeping you logged in, and ensuring the app works properly for your device.

Analytics and Improvement

Cookies help us analyze traffic and usage patterns to improve our content and design. This includes understanding which features are most popular and identifying areas for enhancement.

Marketing and Personalization

We may use cookies to personalize ads and measure marketing performance, though we currently do not serve personalized ads inside the app.

Security

Security cookies help keep your sessions secure and protect against unauthorized access to your account.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for the website or app to function properly. They include cookies that save your settings, maintain your login session, and ensure basic functionality works.

Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how users interact with our platform. We use services like Google Analytics to collect anonymous data about usage patterns and improve our service.

Marketing Cookies

These cookies help us serve relevant ads and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. They may track your interactions with our marketing materials.

These cookies help improve the speed and reliability of our features by storing information about how you use our platform and identifying potential performance issues.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-Party Services

Some third-party services (like analytics or embedded videos) may also use cookies. These providers may set their own cookies and track you across websites.

Our Partners

We work with trusted third-party services including Google Analytics and Firebase to improve our service. These services have their own privacy policies and cookie practices.

External Content

When we embed content from other websites (like videos or social media), those sites may also place cookies on your device. We do not control these cookies.

Do Not Track Signals

Current Status

Our site currently does not respond to 'Do Not Track' signals from web browsers due to the lack of a universal standard for interpreting these signals.

Alternative Controls

Instead of relying on Do Not Track signals, we provide direct controls through our cookie banner and settings page where you can manage your preferences.

Future Implementation

We may implement Do Not Track support in the future once there is a clear industry standard for how these signals should be interpreted and respected.
