Cookie Notice
How Aiphoria, operated by Brightsides Creations, uses cookies and similar technologies — and how you can control them.
Last updated: November 12, 2026
This Cookie Notice explains how Brightsides Creations ("we," "us"), the operator of Aiphoria (aiphoria.io), uses cookies and similar technologies. It is part of our Privacy Policy.
1. What is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file a website stores on your device when you visit. We also use related technologies — local storage, session storage, pixels, and server-side beacons — referred to collectively as "cookies" throughout this notice.
Cookies let us remember you between visits, keep you signed in, understand how the Service is used, and prevent fraud.
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
a) Strictly necessary
Required for Aiphoria to work. You cannot turn these off without breaking the Service. Examples:
- Session cookie — keeps you signed in.
- CSRF token — protects against cross-site request forgery.
- Locale preference — remembers your chosen language.
- Auth state (from Better Auth) — manages your login session and OAuth flow.
b) Functional
Improve the experience but are not strictly required. Examples:
- Theme preference — remembers light or dark mode.
- UI hints dismissed — stops showing dismissed notices.
- Recently used styles / models — speeds up the gallery and Create flow.
c) Analytics
Help us understand which features are used and where users get stuck.
- PostHog — page views, feature events and session recordings (text typed in form fields is masked). For signed-in users, events are linked to your account email.
d) Advertising & Attribution
Help us measure which ads and partners bring people to Aiphoria.
- Meta Pixel (Facebook, Instagram), TikTok Pixel and Pinterest Tag — record visits, sign-ups and purchases so these platforms can measure and improve our ads. These companies may combine this with other data they hold about you and use it for advertising, under their own privacy policies.
- Server-side conversions — when you sign up or buy, we may send Meta and TikTok a hashed version of your email and an account ID for the same purpose.
- Trackdesk affiliate links — attribute a sign-up or purchase to the partner who referred you.
- UTM parameters — captured when you arrive from a marketing link.
3. Third-Party Cookies
When you sign in with Google, Apple or another provider, that provider sets cookies needed for sign-in. Stripe sets cookies on its checkout page to process payments and prevent fraud. The advertising partners above set their own cookies. These cookies are governed by those companies' privacy policies.
4. How Long Cookies Last
- Session cookies expire when you close the browser.
- Persistent cookies last between a few hours and about 13 months, depending on purpose and on the provider (advertising and analytics cookies are usually the longest).
5. Managing Your Cookies
You can:
- Configure your browser to block or delete cookies, including third-party cookies. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will sign you out and break features.
- Use the ad settings of Meta, TikTok and Pinterest to limit how they use your data for ads.
- Email privacy@aiphoria.io to opt out of advertising measurement linked to your account (for example the hashed-email conversions).
- Global Privacy Control (GPC): where the law requires it, we treat a GPC signal as an opt-out of "sharing" for targeted advertising.
Where the law requires your consent before non-essential cookies are used (for example in the EU and UK), we will ask for it.
