Cookie Policy

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how OCboard ("OCboard", "we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) on our website and AI anime original character generation service (the "Service"). It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies, such as browser local storage, store data directly in your browser. Together they let a site remember your actions and preferences and help it function and improve.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes.

Strictly Necessary

These are required for the Service to work and cannot be switched off in our systems.

• Authentication and session: keep you signed in and maintain your session (managed by our authentication system).
• Security: protect against fraud and cross-site request forgery, and enforce rate limits and free-usage quotas.

Functional

These remember your choices to give you a better experience.

• Preferences: your language, theme (light/dark), and content-tier settings.
• Local state: lightweight data stored in your browser, such as your one-time onboarding hints and guest generation history.

Analytics

These help us understand how the Service is used so we can improve it.

• Product analytics (PostHog): aggregated, usage-level events such as pages viewed and features used. We use this to debug issues and prioritize improvements.

We do not use cookies for third-party advertising, and we do not sell information collected through cookies.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies may be set by the third-party providers we use to operate the Service, including our authentication provider (Google sign-in), payment providers (Stripe, PayPal), and analytics provider (PostHog). Their use of cookies is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies.

How to Control Cookies

• Browser settings: Most browsers let you view, block, and delete cookies and clear local storage through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the Service from working (for example, you may be unable to stay signed in).
• Analytics: You can limit analytics through your browser settings and any "Do Not Track" or global privacy control signals your browser sends, which we honor where required.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
