Cookie Policy
Which cookies and local storage Ballon d'Or AI uses and why
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Browsers also offer similar storage (local storage and session storage) that sites use to remember things between pages.
Cookies We Use
Essential
- Sign-in session: keeps you signed in to your account. Without it you cannot generate or view your videos.
- Security: protects sign-in and checkout against abuse.
Preferences
- Theme: remembers whether you chose light or dark mode.
Session storage
- Studio draft: keeps the photo you selected in the studio while you sign in or buy credits, so you don't have to upload it again. It is cleared when the video starts or when you close the tab.
- Checkout: remembers that you started a checkout, so we can ask why if you come back without paying. It is cleared after it is used.
Analytics
We may use privacy-friendly analytics to count visits and see which pages are used. These tools do not identify you personally.
Payments
Checkout is hosted by Stripe, which sets its own cookies to process payments securely and prevent fraud. See Stripe's privacy policy for details.
Managing Cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking essential cookies will prevent signing in and generating videos.
