Cookie Policy

Last updated: July 10, 2026

Published at: https://aibookeditor.com/cookie-policy

This Cookie Policy describes how Dmesis, Inc. ("Dmesis," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on https://aibookeditor.com (the "Website") in connection with AI Book Editor, a product owned and operated by Dmesis, Inc. It supplements our Privacy Policy at https://aibookeditor.com/privacy-policy.

The desktop AI Book Editor application does not use browser cookies.

1. WHAT COOKIES ARE

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use cookies needed to operate, secure, and authenticate the Website. With your consent (in the UK, EU, and EEA), we may also use analytics cookies as described below. We do not use cookies for cross-site advertising or behavioral tracking.

We may also use browser storage (such as localStorage or sessionStorage) for the same purposes as certain cookies listed below, where needed for the Website to work reliably on our hosting platform.

2. COOKIES WE SET

All cookies below are first-party cookies set on .aibookeditor.com.

- aibe_at — Keeps you signed in (access session). Duration: 1 hour. Strictly necessary. HttpOnly.

- aibe_rt — Refreshes your session when the access token expires. Duration: 30 days. Strictly necessary. HttpOnly.

- aibe_csrf — Protects account actions from cross-site request forgery. Duration: 7 days. Strictly necessary. (Not HttpOnly — the Website reads this value to send a matching security header.)

- aibe_pkce — Secures Google sign-in (OAuth PKCE verifier). Duration: 5 minutes. Strictly necessary. HttpOnly.

- aibe_bridge — Restores your session on the Website when browser cookie handling is limited. Duration: 10 minutes. Strictly necessary. The Website may also store the same bridge identifier in sessionStorage, localStorage, or equivalent site storage for cross-tab sign-in.

- aibe_reset_pw — Marks an active password-reset flow. Duration: 15 minutes. Strictly necessary. HttpOnly.

- aibe_cookie_consent — Remembers your cookie choices (including analytics accept or reject). Duration: 12 months. Strictly necessary (stores your consent preference). The same preference may be mirrored in localStorage on aibookeditor.com.

3. ANALYTICS COOKIES (NON-ESSENTIAL — CONSENT REQUIRED IN UK / EU / EEA)

If you are in the United Kingdom, European Union, or European Economic Area, we ask for your consent before setting analytics cookies. If you reject non-essential cookies, we do not set analytics cookies. Outside those regions, we may use analytics cookies without displaying a consent banner, except where local law requires otherwise.

When enabled (and, in the UK/EU/EEA, when you consent), we may use:

- Google Analytics — Website usage analytics (pages visited, approximate location derived from IP, device/browser type, referral source). Provider: Google. Typical cookies include `_ga`, `_gid` (duration varies; often up to 2 years / 24 hours). Privacy notice: https://policies.google.com/privacy

We use Google Consent Mode so analytics storage remains off until you accept non-essential cookies.

4. OTHER THIRD-PARTY COOKIES

- hCaptcha — Used on sign-up, sign-in, password reset, account deletion, contact, and download forms for bot and abuse prevention. hCaptcha may set cookies or use similar technologies when its widget loads on a page that includes one of these forms. Privacy notice: https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy

- Google — Used only if you choose "Sign in with Google," for authentication. Privacy notice: https://policies.google.com/privacy

- Wix — Our website host; may set cookies needed to deliver and operate the Website, embedded account forms, and form submissions (including the signed-in Contact form). Privacy notice: https://www.wix.com/about/privacy

- Stripe — Used when you subscribe or manage billing through Stripe Checkout or the Stripe Customer Portal linked from your account. Stripe may set cookies on its own domains during checkout or portal sessions. Privacy notice: https://stripe.com/privacy

We do not control third-party cookies. They are set only when the relevant feature is loaded or you choose that sign-in or billing option.

5. LEGAL BASIS (GDPR)

We use strictly necessary cookies to provide the Website, secure accounts, prevent abuse, and complete authentication flows you request. Under the EU ePrivacy rules, these cookies do not require consent.

Where GDPR applies, our legal bases are:

- Contract and legitimate interests: session, security, and abuse-prevention cookies needed to run the Website and your account

- Consent: optional Google sign-in, which you initiate by choosing that option; analytics cookies in the UK/EU/EEA, which you accept or reject via our cookie banner

6. MANAGING COOKIES

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent sign-in and other account functions on the Website.

To end a session, sign out on the Website or clear cookies for aibookeditor.com in your browser.

Visitors in the UK, EU, and EEA can change analytics choices anytime via the cookie banner (use "Cookie settings" on the site footer if available, or clear the `aibe_cookie_consent` cookie and site localStorage for aibookeditor.com to see the banner again).

7. YOUR RIGHTS

For access, erasure, and other data-protection rights relating to information collected through cookies, see Section 9 of our Privacy Policy. To exercise rights or ask questions, contact us at support@aibookeditor.com or as described in Section 13 of our Privacy Policy.

8. CHANGES

We may update this Cookie Policy. We will post the revised version on the Website with an updated "Last updated" date.
