Cookie Policy

Last updated: March 23, 2026

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and improve your experience.

Your Cookie Choices

Tsumi uses strictly necessary cookies for authentication — these are exempt from consent under the ePrivacy Directive. We also use Google Ads conversion cookies to measure the effectiveness of our advertising — these are only set if you accept in the cookie banner.

Our site analytics (Vercel Web Analytics) are fully cookieless. No analytics cookies or persistent identifiers are stored on your device.

We use Google Consent Mode v2, which means Google tags run in a restricted, cookieless mode by default. Advertising cookies are only stored on your device after you explicitly accept. You can change your preference at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or cookies for tsumi.gg.

Cookies We Use

Session & Authentication Cookies

These are required for Tsumi to function. They keep you signed in and protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF). These cookies are set when you log in and expire when you log out or after a period of inactivity.

Classification: Strictly necessary (exempt from consent)

OAuth Flow Cookies (Google / Discord)

When you click “Sign in with Google” or “Sign in with Discord,” the provider's authentication flow may set temporary cookies on your device to complete the sign-in process (CSRF protection, OAuth state, account selection).

Google sign-in

Google may set cookies for OAuth authentication and account selection, governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Discord sign-in

Discord may set cookies for OAuth authentication and session handling, governed by Discord's Privacy Policy.

Classification: Strictly necessary (user-initiated authentication). Tsumi does not control these third-party cookies.

Google Ads Conversion Cookies

If you accept cookies in our consent banner, Google Ads may set cookies on your device to measure whether an ad click led to a visit or sign-up on Tsumi. These cookies are used solely for ad conversion measurement — we do not use them for profiling or retargeting.

_gcl_aw_gcl_dc_gac_*

Classification: Advertising / measurement (requires consent). Set by Google, governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

What We Don't Use

  • No analytics cookies (Vercel Web Analytics is cookieless)
  • No retargeting or behavioral profiling cookies
  • No third-party marketing scripts beyond Google Ads conversion measurement

Managing Cookies

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Note that blocking our essential cookies will prevent you from signing in to Tsumi.

Data Retention

Session cookies expire when you log out or after a period of inactivity. OAuth flow cookies are temporary and discarded after the sign-in process completes. Google Ads cookies typically expire after 90 days.
