This policy explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on Storyraise reports, why we use them, and how you can control them. Last updated: June 2, 2026.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. We also use localStorage — a similar browser-based storage mechanism — to remember your preferences locally without sending data to a server.
Cookies We Use
| Category |
Purpose |
Retention |
| Essential |
Firebase authentication session tokens required to keep you signed in and secure. |
Session / until sign-out |
| Functional |
Stores your cookie consent choice (cookie_consent in localStorage) so we don't ask again. |
Until browser localStorage is cleared |
| Analytics |
Measures how reports are read — pages viewed, time spent, and general region. Uses a browser fingerprint (ThumbmarkJS) and IP-based geolocation (Abstract API). Aggregated data is stored in Google BigQuery. |
Session data aggregated server-side; no persistent cookie set on your device |
| Social / Embedding |
Enables embedded Facebook, Twitter/X, and Instagram content to render. These scripts are loaded only after you click Accept and may set their own cookies. We have no control over those third-party cookies. |
Set by the respective third party — see their policies below |
