1.What cookies are
Cookies are small files that a website saves on your phone or computer. StripScroll also saves a few settings on your device in a similar way. We use them only for the reasons listed on this page. Analytics and advertising cookies from Google are optional: they are set only if you allow them in the cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time.
3.Settings saved on your device
| SETTING | WHAT IT IS FOR | HOW LONG IT LASTS |
|---|---|---|
| Adult comics in your feed | Remembers whether you want adult comics shown, once 18+ mode is on. | Until you clear your browser data |
| Reading style | Remembers whether you prefer turning pages or scrolling. | Until you clear your browser data |
| Visit code | A random code for this visit, so we can count how long a visit lasts and which pages it includes. It is not linked to you unless you allow analytics cookies. | Until you close the tab, or after 30 minutes without activity |
| Adult comics you opened | Remembers which adult comics you confirmed your age for, so they stay open while you use this tab. | Until you close the tab |
These stay on your device. We do not use them to identify you.
4.Optional analytics and advertising cookies
These are off until you allow them. Until then, Google receives only cookieless signals that cannot identify you, as part of Google Consent Mode.
| COOKIE | WHAT IT IS FOR | HOW LONG IT LASTS |
|---|---|---|
| Analytics (_ga, _ga_*) | Google Analytics counts visits and which pages and comics are popular, so we can improve StripScroll. | Up to 2 years |
| Advertising (Adsterra, and Google _gcl_*) | Lets our ad partner Adsterra show ads, which keep StripScroll free, and lets Google measure them. Adsterra and the advertisers it works with may set their own cookies, covered by their policies. | Up to 13 months |
Change your choice any time with . If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, advertising cookies start switched off.
5.Other companies
When you choose “Continue with Google”, Google runs the sign in screen and may save its own cookies, which are covered by Google’s policies. Comic images come to you from our storage company, Cloudflare. We also use Google Tag Manager to load Google Analytics, and Adsterra to show ads. Those set cookies only with your permission, as described below. Ads never appear inside comic pages, settings, sign in or these policy pages. If you allow advertising cookies but an ad blocker stops the ads, we ask you to turn it off; if you choose “Essential only”, you can keep reading without ads.
6.Controlling cookies
Every browser lets you see, block and delete cookies. The steps depend on your browser, and its help pages explain them.
- If you block the sign in cookies, you will not be able to sign in.
- If you block or delete the feed memory cookie, StripScroll still works. The feed just forgets what you have seen and starts fresh.
- If you clear your browser data, your reading style and adult feed choices go back to the defaults.
7.Changes and questions
If we add or change cookies, we will update this page and the date at the top. To see how we look after the information they help us gather, read the Privacy Policy. Questions: contact@stripscroll.com.
