Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners. This policy explains how Short Shorts AI (operated by Signal Group Limited) uses cookies on shortshorts.ai.
We use only strictly necessary cookies. We do not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or preference-tracking cookies.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| session | Stores your authentication session after signing in with Google or X. Required to keep you logged in across page loads. Set as httpOnly (inaccessible to JavaScript) to prevent session hijacking. | 30 days | Strictly necessary |
| oauth_state | Temporary cookie set during the OAuth login flow to prevent CSRF attacks. Deleted automatically once login is complete. | Minutes | Strictly necessary |
| oauth_code_verifier | Temporary cookie used for PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange) to secure the OAuth authorisation code flow. Deleted automatically once login is complete. | Minutes | Strictly necessary |
Under GDPR and the UK PECR, strictly necessary cookies — those required for the website to function — are exempt from the consent requirement. Because we use only strictly necessary cookies, we do not display a cookie consent banner. If we ever introduce non-essential cookies (such as analytics or advertising), we will update this policy, add consent controls, and obtain your consent before setting them.
We do not use third-party tracking or advertising cookies. When you connect your YouTube or X account, you are redirected to Google or X to authenticate — those platforms may set their own cookies on their domains, governed by their own cookie and privacy policies.
You can delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that deleting the session cookie will sign you out of the Service.
We will update this policy if we introduce new cookies or technologies, and will notify you of any material changes via email or an in-service notice.
