Privacy Policy
This policy explains how StoryCinder handles information when you use the website.
Information stored in your browser
Favorites and session-level repeat history are stored locally in your browser using localStorage and sessionStorage. This allows the tools to remember saved ideas and reduce repeated results. StoryCinder does not currently require an account or transmit those saved ideas to its own database. You can remove this information by clearing this site's browser data.
Technical information
The hosting provider may process ordinary request information needed to deliver and secure the website, such as IP address, browser type, requested page, timestamps, and diagnostic or security logs.
Analytics
StoryCinder uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site. Google Analytics may process information such as pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser details, referring pages, interactions, IP address, and cookie or device identifiers. This information helps improve the tools and measure site performance. Where required, analytics storage will follow the visitor's consent choices.
Advertising and cookies
StoryCinder may display advertising provided by Google AdSense. When advertising is enabled, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies, device identifiers, IP addresses, and information about ad views or interactions to deliver, measure, personalize, and protect advertising, subject to your available consent choices and their policies.
You can learn how Google uses information for advertising and manage advertising preferences through My Ad Center.
Consent choices
Where required, visitors will be shown controls for advertising cookies and related data processing. For visitors in the EEA, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, advertising consent will be managed through a Google-certified consent management platform when applicable.
Third-party links
The site may link to third-party websites. Their handling of information is governed by their own privacy policies.
Children's privacy
StoryCinder is a general-audience site and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.
Your choices
You may clear locally saved favorites and session history through your browser settings, adjust cookie choices through the consent controls when available, block cookies in your browser, or use Google's advertising controls. Blocking storage may affect some features.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy when the site's features or legal obligations change. The effective date above will be revised. Questions or privacy requests can be sent using the Contact page.
This policy will be reviewed again when advertising is activated or if analytics, accounts, or server-side storage are introduced.
