Cookie Policy
This page explains how Ariexo uses cookies and similar browser storage (such as local storage and session storage), and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
What these technologies are
Cookies are small text files a website saves in your browser. Local storage and session storage work similarly: local storage stays until it is cleared, and session storage is removed when you close the tab. We refer to all of them as "browser storage" below.
How we use browser storage
Ariexo uses browser storage to run the service and keep it secure. We do not use it for advertising or to track you across other websites.
| Purpose | What is stored | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-in (essential) | Authentication state kept by Firebase Authentication so you stay signed in. | Until you sign out or clear your browser data. |
| Bot protection (essential) | A short-lived result of the Cloudflare Turnstile "I'm not a robot" check on sign-in and sign-up, in session storage. | Short-lived; removed when the tab closes or the pass expires. |
| Cookie choice (essential) | A first-party cookie named __Host-ariexo-cookie-consent records whether you accepted or rejected optional cookies. If cookies are unavailable, local storage is used instead. |
Up to 180 days. |
| Preferences and safety | Choices you make on your device, such as people you mute in a Stick's live room. | Until you clear them (for example with "Clear muted people") or clear your browser data. |
| Features | Temporary data that makes features work, such as your Visual Trail, Blind Test answers, swipe navigation between Sticks, recent searches, notification state and an anonymous identifier used for trending searches and viewer counts. | Session storage is removed when the tab closes; local storage stays until cleared. |
Our hosting, authentication and security providers (including Google Firebase and Cloudflare) may also process basic request and device information to deliver and protect the service. This information is described in the Privacy Policy.
Your choices
- You can accept or reject optional cookies using the notice shown on the site. Essential browser storage remains necessary for sign-in and account security.
- You can delete cookies and site data at any time in your browser settings. You may then be signed out, asked to repeat security checks, and shown the storage notice again.
- You can set your browser to block cookies and storage. Sign-in and some features will not work without the essential items above.
- Signed-in creators can delete their account and data from their profile page.
Changes to this policy
If our use of browser storage changes, we will update this page and the date above.
