Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. GamineAI also uses similar browser technologies such as local storage to remember settings and support site functionality.

Because GamineAI is a mostly static, local-first website, many preferences are stored directly in your browser rather than on our servers. We use these technologies to keep the site working, remember your consent choices, and support optional analytics and advertising features when you allow them.

Essential Cookies

These cookies or equivalent browser storage entries are required for core site behavior and cannot be switched off through our banner:

• Consent Preferences: Remember whether you accepted or rejected optional analytics and advertising cookies
• Basic Site Functionality: Support page behavior, interface preferences, and other features needed for the website to operate correctly
• Security and Integrity: Help us protect the website from abuse, invalid traffic, and malicious activity

Functional Cookies

These improve your experience but are not strictly required for a page to load:

• User Preferences: Remember theme, dashboard settings, and interface choices
• Course Progress: Store lesson and course progress locally in your browser
• Project Data: Keep AI Game Builder prompts, prototypes, and configurations on your device

Advertising Cookies

These are used by ad providers when you allow advertising cookies:

• Ad Personalization: Help show ads that may be more relevant to your interests
• Ad Measurement: Help measure ad impressions, interactions, and campaign performance
• Frequency Capping: Reduce repeated display of the same advertisement

Analytics Cookies

These help us understand how visitors use the site when analytics consent is granted:

• Usage Statistics: Measure visits, page views, and general engagement trends
• Performance Monitoring: Identify broken flows, reliability issues, and content problems
• Content Improvement: Help us improve guides, tutorials, and site structure based on aggregate behavior

In addition to cookies, GamineAI uses browser local storage and similar on-device storage so core features can work without requiring an account.

This may include:

• API Keys: Your own AI provider keys for BYOK workflows
• User Settings: Dashboard preferences, provider configuration, and UI state
• Project Data: Prompts, prototypes, and builder configuration saved in your browser
• Progress and Preferences: Course progress, theme preference, and consent state

This data remains on your device unless you choose to send requests directly to third-party AI providers or other integrated services. GamineAI does not run user accounts or maintain a server-side database of this local browser data.

Some third-party services used on GamineAI may set their own cookies or similar identifiers, subject to your consent choices and those providers' own policies.

• Advertising Providers: Such as Google AdSense, which may use cookies for ad delivery, measurement, and fraud prevention
• Analytics Providers: Such as Google Analytics or comparable tools, which may help us understand aggregate site usage
• Embedded or External Services: Certain third-party links or future embedded features may apply their own tracking or cookie rules

These providers control their own technologies. Their use of data is governed by their own privacy notices and cookie policies, not this page alone.

You can control optional cookies through our consent banner and preference controls. Depending on the page and your prior choice, you can:

• Accept All: Allow optional analytics and advertising cookies
• Reject Non-Essential: Keep only essential storage and functionality
• Manage Preferences: Choose analytics and advertising categories separately

Browser Settings

You can also control cookies through your browser settings:

• Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
• Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
• Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
• Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions

You can also clear local storage through your browser site data controls. Doing so may remove saved settings, builder data, course progress, and stored API keys from your device.

Note that disabling or clearing certain cookies and local storage may affect site functionality.

Different technologies remain on your device for different lengths of time:

• Session Cookies: Deleted when you close your browser
• Persistent Cookies: Remain for a defined duration set by the relevant service or browser
• Local Storage: Usually remains until you clear browser site data or manually remove it

You can clear cookies and on-device storage at any time through your browser settings.

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in site features, legal requirements, ad technology, analytics practices, or how the platform stores settings locally.

We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.
