1. Understanding Cookies & Local Storage

StoryGPT uses cookies and local storage (localStorage and IndexedDB) to enable essential features, remember user preferences (such as dark mode), and ensure a seamless, offline-first reading experience. This Cookie Policy explains what these technologies are and how we use them.

2. How We Utilize Local Storage

Unlike traditional websites that store all user state on external servers, StoryGPT operates locally. We use browser Local Storage to save:

• Reading Progress: Bookmarks, choices made in stories, and current paragraph states so you can resume where you left off.
• User Preferences: Theme settings (e.g., keeping the app in dark mode), font size preferences, and volume controls.
• Offline Content Cache: Local assets and text indexes that allow the application to function fully without internet access.

3. Essential Cookies We Use

We use session cookies to secure the platform and optimize load times. These cookies do not track your browsing behavior across other sites and are automatically deleted when you close your browser.

4. Analytics Cookies

We may use basic analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to aggregate anonymous website traffic information. This helps us understand which stories are most popular and optimize design layouts. You can opt out of analytics tracking via your browser's security settings.

5. Managing Your Settings

You can control, restrict, or delete cookies and site storage at any time through your web browser's settings menu. Please note that clearing your local storage will delete your saved stories, reading history, and offline bookmarks inside StoryGPT.
