1. Overview

Game Avatar Studio uses a small number of cookies and similar browser storage. Essential ones keep you signed in and the site secure. Analytics cookies from Google Analytics are used only if you click “Accept” in the cookie banner. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

2. Essential cookies (always on)

• Sign-in session (authjs.session-token, authjs.csrf-token, authjs.callback-url): keep you signed in and protect sign-in forms. Session or up to 30 days.
• Language (NEXT_LOCALE): remembers the language you chose. Up to 1 year.
• Invite link (gas_ref): remembers which friend invited you, so both of you get the invite bonus. 30 days.
• Payments: Stripe and Link set their own cookies on the checkout page to process payments and prevent fraud.

These are needed for the service to work and do not require consent.

3. Analytics cookies (only with your consent)

• Google Analytics 4 (_ga, _ga_<id>): counts visits and shows how people use the site, which pages they view and where they came from. Up to 2 years.
• Google Analytics is not loaded at all until you accept. Advertising features and Google signals are turned off, and we never send your selfie, images, name or email to Google.
• Google processes this data as described in its privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy). Data may be transferred to the United States.

4. Other browser storage

• Your cookie choice is saved in your browser’s local storage, so we don’t ask again on every page.
• During checkout we briefly keep the pack you chose in session storage to record the purchase; it is removed afterwards.

5. Your choices

• Change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” in the footer. If you reject, analytics stops and its cookies are removed.
• You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies will stop sign-in from working.
