Cookie Policy
Effective Date: September 2026 • Last Reviewed: September 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how GalleryPromptAI ("we", "us", or "our") utilizes cookies, web beacons, browser local storage, and similar web technologies when you visit our website at gallerypromptai.com. This document operates in conjunction with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service to provide complete transparency regarding your personal data and browsing privacy.
2. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?
A cookie is a small text file placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone by websites you visit. Cookies help platforms recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember user preferences, maintain active login states, and analyze user interactions.
In addition to cookies, GalleryPromptAI uses modern browser Web Storage (localStorage and sessionStorage). Local storage allows client-side data (such as temporary category filters, theme tokens, and cached prompt indexing) to persist securely on your device without transmitting unnecessary overhead data on every network request.
3. Categories of Cookies We Use
A. Strictly Necessary / Essential Cookies
These cookies and storage tokens are fundamental to the operation of GalleryPromptAI. They enable core security features, user authentication through Google Firebase Auth, session persistence, and secure form submissions. Without these, authenticated services (such as submitting prompts or liking artworks) cannot function.
B. Functional & Performance Storage
These tokens remember your personal preferences, such as selected prompt category filters, search input history, and copy-prompt tooltips. They also optimize page performance by caching thumbnail paths and metadata from Cloudinary CDN to prevent repeated network queries.
C. Advertising & Third-Party Cookies (AdSense Readiness)
When third-party advertising partners such as Google AdSense are enabled, third-party cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) may be deployed to serve relevant, high-quality advertisements based on prior visits to our platform and other internet sites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve non-intrusive ads tailored to user interests.
4. Third-Party Service Providers
Our platform interfaces with reputable cloud infrastructure providers who may set cookies or inspect device characteristics for technical security:
- Google Firebase: Manages authentication tokens and Firestore database synchronization.
- Cloudinary: Delivers optimized images via content delivery network edges.
- Google AdSense / Google Marketing Platform (when active): Deploys advertising cookies for personalized or contextual ad placement.
5. Managing and Disabling Cookies
You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies by default, but you can alter your browser settings to reject cookies or prompt you before accepting one.
To manage personalized advertising preferences specifically for Google, users may visit the Google Ad Center / Ad Settings. You may also opt out of third-party vendor advertising cookies by visiting aboutads.info.
Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect website functionality, such as maintaining an active login session or uploading prompts.
6. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our operational technologies or applicable regulatory standards. Any modifications will be posted here with an updated revision date.
