This Cookie Policy explains how OurDream ai (accessible via ourdreamai-eng.com) uses browser cookies, indexed browser databases, and local storage tokens to recognize your authenticated sessions, reduce network latency, and cache character dialogue states.

1. What Are Cookies and Web Storage?

Cookies are small text files placed on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit a website. In addition to cookies, OurDream ai utilizes modern browser storage protocols—such as HTML5 Local Storage and Session Storage—to cache high-volume character data, audio buffers, and visual preview thumbnails locally on your client machine rather than re-downloading them on every message.

2. Categories of Cookies We Deploy

We restrict our cookie footprint to necessary operational and functional mechanisms:

Cookie Type	Purpose & Description	Duration
Strictly Essential	Manages cryptographic session authentication, anti-CSRF token verification, and DDoS rate-limiting to protect your account security.	Session / 30 Days
Lorebook & UI Cache	Stores active companion selections, preferred reasoning engine modes (e.g., Balanced vs Genius), volume levels, and studio workspace layouts.	1 Year
Performance & Latency	Measures API round-trip times and CDN image rendering speeds anonymously to optimize server load balancing across global edge clusters.	Session

3. Third-Party Cookies and Analytics

Unlike conventional media sites, OurDream ai does not permit intrusive third-party behavioral advertising networks or social tracking beacons to monitor your private roleplay sessions. Third-party cookies are strictly limited to secure payment gateway processors (e.g., PCI-DSS compliant credit card tokenization) to verify transaction legitimacy and prevent fraudulent chargebacks.

4. Managing and Disabling Browser Cookies

You possess full authority to configure your browser settings to reject cookies, prompt before saving cookies, or delete stored local caches. Popular browser management guides:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data.
• Mozilla Firefox: Options > Privacy & Security > Enhanced Tracking Protection.
• Apple Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions.

Note: If you disable strictly essential authentication cookies, you will be unable to remain logged in or maintain ongoing dialogue sessions with your characters.

5. Policy Updates and Inquiries

We may update our storage technologies as new web standards emerge. Periodic review of this page ensures you stay informed. Direct any cookie inquiries to [email protected].
