The short version
Cookies are small files a website keeps in your browser. Kaisuki also uses similar tools, like your browser's local storage. On this page we call them all "cookies".
We use them to keep you signed in, remember your settings and see how Kaisuki is doing. Some are needed for Kaisuki to work; analytics and ad pixels you can switch off at any time. We don't sell your personal information, and there are no ads inside Kaisuki.
What we use them for
- Essential: keep you signed in, protect your account from spam and abuse, and connect you to chat, voice and stage. Kaisuki can't work without these, so they're always on.
- Preferences: remember your theme, language, layout and unsent drafts, so Kaisuki opens the way you left it.
- Analytics: tools like Google Analytics and our own visit counter show us which features get used and where things feel slow. Crash reports (such as Sentry) tell us when a screen breaks. None of them include your messages.
- Ad measurement: on the website only, during ad campaigns. See below.
Ad pixels (website only)
When we advertise Kaisuki on other sites, we may use conversion pixels from Meta (Facebook), TikTok, Reddit, Google Ads and Google Tag Manager. They only tell the ad platform that someone who clicked our ad visited Kaisuki. Each sets its own cookie under its own policy.
- They run on the website only, and only while a campaign is live.
- They never load inside the Kaisuki mobile apps.
- They never load for anyone who has switched analytics off, or whose browser sends Global Privacy Control.
Other services
A few features rely on other companies, which may set their own cookies under their own policies: Google or Apple when you sign in with them, our GIF search providers when you look for a GIF, and our hosting and security provider (Cloudflare), which keeps Kaisuki fast and keeps bots out.
Your choices
In Kaisuki: go to Settings → Privacy & Safety and switch off "Analytics & ad pixels". Google Analytics, our visit counter, crash reports and every ad pixel then stop for you, on your account and on this device. Signing out clears your session from this device.
We honor the Global Privacy Control signal everywhere: if your browser sends it, we treat you exactly as if you had switched analytics off. We don't act on the older "Do Not Track" setting on its own.
In your browser: you can block or clear cookies for kaisuki.com in your browser's settings. In Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge, look under Privacy or Cookies and site data, then search for kaisuki.com. Just know that blocking essential cookies signs you out and stops Kaisuki from working, and clearing them resets your preferences.
Changes and contact
We'll update this policy as Kaisuki changes and put the new date at the top. For big changes, we'll let you know in the app.
