1. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences — such as keeping you signed in — over a period of time. This Policy also covers similar technologies: browser local storage, pixels, and tags.
2. Your choice comes first
On your first visit we ask whether you accept analytics, advertising and affiliate cookies. Until you answer, we run Google’s Consent Mode v2 with advertising and analytics storage denied, which means those cookies are not written at all — not deferred, not anonymised, simply not set. Our affiliate tracker is not a Google tag and has no such mode, so we go further with it: its script is not loaded at all until you accept.
If you decline, they stay off. If you accept and change your mind later, open and choose “Essential only”. We also honour the Global Privacy Control signal: if your browser sends it, we treat it as a decline and never ask.
3. Essential cookies
Required for the site to work. These cannot be switched off, and they carry no advertising or analytics function.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
ai_baby_generator_session | Keeps you signed in and links you to your generations across pages. | 2 hours | mybabygenerator.com |
XSRF-TOKEN | Protects forms and uploads against cross-site request forgery. | 2 hours | mybabygenerator.com |
remember_web_* | Set only if you tick “remember me” when signing in. | 5 years | mybabygenerator.com |
__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid | Payment fraud prevention on the checkout page. | 1 year / 30 minutes | Stripe |
4. Preference storage
We store two small values in your browser’s local storage rather than in a cookie. They never leave your device and are not sent to us or anyone else.
| Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
cookie-consent | Remembers whether you accepted or declined, so we stop asking. | Until you clear it |
appearance | Remembers your light or dark theme choice. | Until you clear it |
5. Analytics cookies — optional
With your consent we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how many people visit, which pages they read, and where they arrived from. This is aggregate reporting about the site, never about your photos.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Distinguishes one visitor from another. | 2 years | |
_ga_* | Keeps session state for the analytics property. | 2 years |
6. Advertising and affiliate cookies — optional
We advertise AI Baby Generator on Google. With your consent we use Google Ads conversion tracking so we can tell which advertisements lead to a purchase and stop paying for the ones that do not. This is measurement, not profiling: we do not build advertising audiences from your behaviour and we do not run remarketing campaigns that follow you around the web.
Your photos, facial data, and generated portraits are never part of this. Nothing about the images you upload is sent to Google or to any advertising network, at any time, whatever you choose here. What is sent when a purchase completes is the order value, the currency, and an order reference.
We also run an affiliate program: independent creators and site owners link to AI Baby Generator and earn a commission when someone they sent buys. With your consent, PromoteKit records which partner’s link you arrived through so that the right one is paid. It records the referral code and nothing about you — no profile, no browsing history, and nothing whatsoever about your photos.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Provider |
|---|---|---|---|
_gcl_au | Attributes a purchase to the advertisement that led to it. | 90 days | |
NID, IDE | Set by Google on its own domains for advertising measurement. | 6 months / 13 months | |
promotekit_referral | Remembers which affiliate partner referred you, so their commission is credited if you buy. | 60 days | PromoteKit |
7. How to manage cookies
- On this site: open and choose “Essential only” or “Accept all”. This is the fastest way, and it applies immediately.
- In your browser: every major browser lets you view, delete, and block cookies from its settings. Blocking essential cookies will stop sign-in and checkout from working.
- At Google: you can turn off ad personalisation for your Google account at myadcenter.google.com, and install Google’s Analytics opt-out add-on.
- Browser-level signal: enable Global Privacy Control in a browser or extension that supports it and we will treat every visit as a decline.
8. Third parties that set cookies
- Stripe, Inc. — secure payment processing and fraud prevention. Essential; loaded on checkout.
- Google LLC — Analytics 4 and Google Ads conversion measurement. Optional; loaded only after you consent.
- PromoteKit — affiliate referral tracking for our partner program. Optional; loaded only after you consent.
These providers set cookies under their own privacy policies. We do not permit any of them to receive your uploaded photos or generated portraits.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time — for example if we add or remove a provider. Any change will be posted here with a revised “Last updated” date, and a material change will reset your consent so you are asked again.
