Third-party cookies related to Google Fonts:

Our site loads its fonts (notably Bangers, Bungee, Caveat and Inter) from fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. These requests do not set tracking cookies but may be recorded in Google's logs. You can block these requests with an extension such as uBlock Origin.

Local storage of the app (essential, no consent required):

The web app and the mobile apps save data in the local storage of your browser or phone: a copy of your collection for offline display, the queue of changes waiting to be sent when the connection is lost, and your display preferences. This data is used only to operate the service, is not read by any third party, and you can erase it by clearing the site's data in your browser or by uninstalling the app.

Cookies from our partners, only when you use them:

  • Payment (Paddle): when the payment window opens, Paddle, the seller of the subscription, may set its own cookies, necessary for payment security and fraud prevention. They are governed by Paddle's cookie policy.
  • Sign-in with Google or Apple: if you choose this sign-in method, Google or Apple may use their own cookies on their sign-in pages. They are governed by their respective policies.
