Cookie Policy

This is the short version, on purpose. If you want the full privacy picture (files, account data, IP addresses, payments), see the Privacy Policy — this page is just about cookies.

Essential cookies (always on)

These are functional — the site can't work without them, and there's nothing to consent to because they don't track you:

• Session identifier — lets your account, credits, and in-progress jobs work as you navigate the site. Without it, we'd have no way to know a follow-up request (checking a job's status, downloading a result) belongs to the same visit.
• Free-trial marker — a small flag so the one-time free credits aren't handed out again to the same browser.
• Language preference — remembers which language you picked, so you don't have to re-pick it every visit.
• Analytics choice — remembers whether you allowed or declined the optional analytics below, so we don't ask again every visit.

Analytics

Plausible runs for everyone. It's privacy-first and cookieless — no cookie, no cross-site tracking, no personal data, nothing to opt out of. It just counts page views and where visitors came from, in aggregate.

Google Analytics sets its own cookies (_ga, _gid).

• In the EU / EEA / UK / Switzerland it is opt-in only — not loaded at all unless you click "Allow analytics" on the banner. Decline, or ignore the banner, and it never runs.
• Elsewhere it loads by default. You can opt out any time by declining cookies in your browser settings, using a Global Privacy Control / "Do Not Track" browser setting, or blocking googletagmanager.com.

We don't run advertising trackers, don't sell any of this, and don't build an ad profile. There's no ad network tag and no cross-site pixel.

Payments

If you subscribe or buy credits, Stripe (our payment processor) may set its own cookies during checkout, governed by Stripe's own policies — those aren't ours, and we don't control them beyond using Stripe's standard checkout flow.

Your choices

The essential cookies above can't be turned off without breaking login/credits or resetting your language each visit. Google Analytics is entirely your call — allow or decline it from the banner. Turning off cookies in your browser also stops all of the above.
