11. Cookies and Local Storage
We use cookies, session storage, and local storage where needed to run the service safely and reliably.
Essential storage. We use essential cookies and similar technologies for authentication, security, keeping you signed in, enforcing daily usage limits, remembering preferences needed for the app to work, PWA-related functionality, and core features. These do not depend on optional consent because they are strictly necessary for the service you asked us to provide.
Optional analytics. If you allow analytics, we may use cookies or similar tools to understand how NoCringe is used and to improve the product. Example analytics providers: [ANALYTICS_PROVIDER_PLACEHOLDER]. Analytics is off until you opt in.
Optional marketing. If you allow marketing, we may use cookies or pixels for advertising, retargeting, or measuring campaigns. Example marketing providers: [MARKETING_PROVIDER_PLACEHOLDER]. Marketing is off until you opt in.
You can change optional choices anytime using in the footer. You can also clear site data for NoCringe in your browser to remove stored preferences and signed-in sessions.
12. Security
NoCringe uses reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect user data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so users should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information.
13. Children
NoCringe is for users who are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.
14. Changes to Privacy Policy
