Cookie Policy

Introduction

BRAWLVERSE sets a small number of cookies. We use them to keep you signed in and to remember your language choice. We do not use advertising cookies, cross-site trackers, or third-party profiling.

What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser when you visit a site. BRAWLVERSE uses two of them, plus a server-side session record.

The cookies we set

Session cookie

• Name: better-auth.session_token (and related auth cookies)
• Purpose: Keeps you signed in and protects the sign-in form. Required for the site to work.
• Lifetime: Until you sign out or the session expires.

Locale cookie

• Name: NEXT_LOCALE
• Purpose: Remembers whether you chose English or Chinese so we render the right language next time.
• Lifetime: Until you clear it.

Server-side session record

Not a browser cookie, but the matching server record that lets us validate your session on every request. It stores your user id and session metadata.

Third-party requests

Two features can load third-party scripts, and only when you interact with them:

• Cloudflare Turnstile — if human verification is enabled, it sets a cookie to detect bots before a vote or a danmaku is accepted.
• Google / GitHub sign-in — used only when you choose to sign in with one of them. Their own privacy policies apply to those flows.

Managing cookies

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the session cookie means you will not be able to sign in; blocking the locale cookie just means the language resets to the default.

Changes

If we change which cookies we set, we will update this page.
