Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how BuildAvatar, operated by [BuildAvatar legal entity name] ("BuildAvatar", "we", "us", "our"), uses cookies and similar technologies on https://buildavatar.ai (the "Service"). It describes what these technologies are, the categories we use and why, and how you can manage or block them.

This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains more fully how we handle your personal data. The Service is offered strictly to adults aged 18 and over.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file that a website places on your device (computer, phone, or tablet) when you visit. Cookies let a site remember your actions and preferences over time, keep you logged in, and understand how the Service is used. We also use closely related technologies — such as browser local storage and similar identifiers — and in this policy we refer to all of them together as "cookies".

Cookies can be set by the site you are visiting ("first-party" cookies) or, in limited cases, by a service provider acting on our behalf ("third-party" cookies). We describe the third-party context below.

How long cookies last

Cookies fall into two groups based on how long they persist:

• Session cookies are temporary. They exist only while your browser session is open and are deleted when you close your browser. We use session cookies mainly to keep you signed in and to protect the security of your session.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, until they expire or you delete them. We use persistent cookies to remember your preferences and to support usage analytics and our referral scheme.

The exact lifetime of a persistent cookie depends on its purpose. Where a cookie is set by a third-party provider (such as Cloudflare), its lifetime is determined by that provider.

Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary and security cookies

These cookies are essential for the Service to function and cannot be switched off through our systems. They include:

• Your authenticated login session cookie, which keeps you signed in as you move between pages in the Studio and Resource Hub.
• Security cookies that help protect your account and session, support sign-in integrity, and defend against fraud and abuse.

Because these cookies are required for core functionality, we rely on them to deliver the Service you request. If you block them, parts of the Service — including logging in and using your Studio — may not work.

Functionality cookies

These cookies remember choices you make and your logged-in state so that the Service behaves consistently for you — for example, remembering your session and preferences so you do not have to re-enter them each time. They make the Service more convenient but are not strictly essential; if you block them, some conveniences may be lost.

Analytics and attribution

We use an anonymous analytics and attribution identifier to understand how the Service is used — for example, which features are used and how our pages perform — so we can improve BuildAvatar. This same identifier supports our referral scheme by recognising when a visit or sign-up is associated with a referral relationship.

This identifier is anonymous and is not used to build advertising profiles about you. We do not use it to determine your precise or GPS-based location.

No advertising trackers; no sale of data

BuildAvatar does not run third-party advertising or ad-network trackers, and we do not use cookies to serve targeted ads to you across other websites. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share cookie data with advertising networks for their own purposes.

Third-party context

We use Cloudflare to provide hosting, content delivery (CDN), and edge security for the Service. To perform these functions — for example, to keep the Service available, route traffic efficiently, and protect against malicious activity — Cloudflare may set its own security-related cookies on your device. These cookies are governed by Cloudflare's own policies.

Certain other parts of your overall experience take place on separate platforms with their own cookie practices. Content creation happens on TJP (https://tjp.com), and account monetization and identity verification happen on Fanplace (https://fanplace.com). Those are independent services governed by their own cookie and privacy policies, and this Cookie Policy does not cover them.

How to manage or block cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you:

• see what cookies are stored and delete them individually or all at once;
• block third-party cookies, or block cookies from specific sites;
• block all cookies; and
• clear cookies when you close the browser.

The steps differ by browser — check the "Help" or "Privacy" section of your browser (for example, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge) for instructions. Your browser's private or incognito mode will also typically clear session cookies when you close the window.

Please note that if you block or delete strictly necessary or security cookies, the Service may not function properly — you may be unable to sign in or use your Studio. Blocking functionality or analytics cookies will not break core features but may reduce convenience and limit our ability to measure and improve the Service.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the Service, to the cookies we use, or to legal requirements. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
