1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them every time you visit or navigate between pages.
Similar technologies — such as web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and session storage — serve comparable purposes and are also covered by this Cookie Policy.
2. Why We Use Cookies
Framemates uses cookies and similar technologies to:
- Keep you signed in to your account across sessions.
- Remember your preferences (such as your selected day/night mode theme).
- Remember the creators you have saved to your bookmarks on this device.
- Remember that you have dismissed notices, so we don't show them repeatedly.
We do not use them to build advertising profiles, or to track you across
other websites.

What we actually store on your device
Framemates does not set any cookies. Everything we store is kept in your

track you across other websites.

We do not use advertising or analytics cookies. We do not run Google
Analytics, advertising pixels, or third-party trackers on the Platform. If that changes, we will
update this page and, where required, ask for your consent first.
4. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies on the Platform are set by third-party services that we use to operate and improve the Platform. These may include:
- Analytics providers (e.g., Google Analytics): Help us measure traffic and usage patterns. Google Analytics may set its own cookies (
_ga, _gid). You can opt out via Google's opt-out tool.
- Stripe (payment processor): When you upgrade to a paid plan, Stripe may set cookies necessary to process your subscription securely and to prevent fraud. Stripe's cookie and privacy practices are governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.
- Content delivery networks (CDN): May set cookies to optimize asset delivery and performance.
Third-party cookies are governed by the respective third party's privacy and cookie policies. We do not control these cookies and encourage you to review those policies directly.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
5.1 Browser settings
Most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block cookies through their settings. Here are links to cookie management instructions for common browsers:
Please note that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent you from using core features of the Platform, including logging in.
5.2 Cookie consent banner
When you first visit Framemates, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that allows you to accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can update your preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Preferences" in the website footer.
5.3 Opt-out tools
You can also opt out of interest-based advertising and certain analytics tracking through industry opt-out tools such as:
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature that signals to websites that you do not want your browsing activity tracked. Because there is currently no industry-standard interpretation of DNT signals, Framemates does not alter its data collection practices in response to DNT browser signals. We continue to honor your explicit cookie preferences as set through our consent banner or browser settings.
7. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy as we add new features, integrate new third-party services, or as laws and regulations change. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. If the changes are significant, we may also notify you through the Platform or by email. Continued use of the Platform following any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
