Cookie Policy
Last updated: March 31, 2026
This policy explains how AI Battle Arena uses cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies primarily for essential functionality — keeping you logged in and maintaining your session.
1What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They allow websites to remember information about your visit, such as your login status and preferences. Cookies can be "session" cookies (deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent" cookies (stored until they expire or you delete them).
2Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the Platform to function. Without them, core features like authentication will not work. They cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| auth_token | JSON Web Token (JWT) that authenticates your session. Keeps you logged in across page navigations. | 7 days |
| session_id | Identifies your active browser session. Used for security and to prevent session hijacking. | Session |
3Functional Cookies
These cookies remember your preferences and improve your experience. They are not strictly required but help the Platform work the way you expect.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| ui_preferences | Stores UI settings like sidebar collapsed state and display preferences. | 1 year |
| redirect_path | Remembers the page you were trying to visit before logging in, so you can be redirected there after authentication. | Session |
4Third-Party Cookies
The following third-party services may set cookies when you interact with them through our Platform:
- Stripe — When you make a deposit, Stripe may set cookies for payment processing, fraud prevention, and session management. These cookies are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or social media cookies. We do not participate in ad networks or cross-site tracking.
5Managing Cookies
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View and delete existing cookies
- Block all cookies or third-party cookies
- Set preferences for specific websites
- Get notified when a new cookie is set
If you disable essential cookies, you will not be able to log in or use most Platform features. Authentication requires cookies to maintain your session.
6Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites. The Platform does not currently respond to DNT signals because we do not engage in cross-site tracking or targeted advertising. Our cookie usage is limited to essential functionality and user preferences as described above.
7Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as our technology and practices evolve. Changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will notify you via email or a Platform notice.
