VERSAI · OPEN SAFE BETA
Cookies & preferences
Updated 2 November 2026
Unconfirmed publisher and hosting details and some operational policies still require completion. Free access does not establish legal approval or permission for real sales.
Current use
Current catalogue search, genre, sort and layout choices are temporary in-memory state. A short-lived return context may be stored during sign-in. Earlier demo favourites may also be stored on the device and can be imported into a signed-in account. Browser data is specific to the device and may be cleared in your browser settings.
Necessary session storage protects signed-in accounts; visitors open only free creations and receive no credit wallet; a Google consent message may load in the catalogue, including through a Google tag kept paused. Advertisements remain subject to separate activation and your choices, as explained below. The consent message, when enabled for your visit, provides the available choices without requiring an account or advertising consent to browse free creations.
Reading preferences
Manga and manhwa reading settings are saved only when you select the save button. Signed-in settings are private account records, separately for each format and edition. Visitor settings use local storage on this device, without an automatic expiry. You can replace them by saving new choices or remove local storage in your browser settings. These choices do not enable advertising or analytics.
Interface language
The interface follows your browser language until you choose another language. Your choice is saved in local storage on this device, without an automatic expiry. You can change it with the language button or remove it in browser settings. Translations are delivered with the site; no visitor text is sent to an external translation service. Creator content remains in its original language.
Account and visitor cookies
| Cookie | Purpose | Maximum lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| __Host-versai-session | Necessary account session | 7 days |
| __Host-versai-flow | Necessary sign-in, confirmation or recovery flow | 30 minutes |
These cookies are Secure, HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax. No new visitor-wallet cookie is needed to open free creations. Older visitor cookies may remain in the browser until expiry; older records follow the retention policy. Their expiry does not itself guarantee physical erasure of older server records. Older records are not used for advertising. Verified-account wallets track their credit balances and unlocks.
Temporary browser storage
A pending email confirmation stores an email address and timestamp in session storage with a 30-minute validity check. The sign-in return context stores a creation ID and catalogue state with a 24-hour validity check. They are checked or removed at relevant steps and depend on the browser session; these validity limits are not autonomous erasure timers. Earlier demonstration favourites have no automatic expiry and may be removed in browser settings.
Future advertising
Before optional tracking is introduced, its providers, purposes and duration must be disclosed. Where consent is required, optional trackers must remain blocked until a choice is made, refusal must be as easy as acceptance, and a permanent control must allow changes. The “Free / Subscriber” preview is a layout control, not a cookie-consent choice.
Security verification for forms
Cloudflare Turnstile protects sign-in, sign-up, recovery forms and, where offered, the start of Google sign-in. This security check may process the IP address, browser and connection signals including User-Agent and TLS fingerprint, the public widget key and origin. VersAI uses it for its legitimate interest in preventing abuse (Article 6(1)(f)), separately from advertising.
Cloudflare processes signals for VersAI to protect these forms; its notice also describes processing controlled by Cloudflare to improve bot detection. Temporary tokens are transmitted for validation, not archived by VersAI. This integration does not enable cf_clearance pre-clearance and is neither advertising consent nor age verification. Cloudflare’s notice describes its processing and safeguards. Its standard Self-Serve agreement incorporates its data processing addendum for its processor role; account settings, transfers and service retention must be documented separately.
Earlier access cookie
Current browsing and opening free creations require neither the __Host-versai-access cookie nor an adult declaration. An earlier cookie with that name can remain in this browser until expiry, at most 7 days after it was issued. Earlier acceptance records follow the privacy policy; cookie expiry alone does not guarantee their erasure.
Earlier visitor wallets
New visits receive no wallet or discovery credits. Earlier __Host-versai-visitor cookies can remain until their expiry, at most 30 days after issue. Their records remain subject to the retention policy and do not become an account wallet. An account with a verified email uses its own private wallet.
Internal audience statistics
VersAI counts successful public page loads on the server and estimates visitor numbers to understand use of its own site, based on its legitimate interest (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)). This measurement sets no cookies, reads or creates no local storage and loads no measurement script in your browser. Recognised bots, preloads, technical files and API requests are excluded; the operator’s visits to public pages may be counted.
To reduce duplicates, the server calculates a site-specific HMAC digest from the connection address supplied by hosting and limited browser categories (family and major version, operating system and device category). Statistics tables keep neither raw IP addresses nor raw User-Agent strings, visited page paths, link parameters or referrers. The digest is pseudonymous data, not proof of identity: people using a similar network and browser can be grouped together, and one person can be counted more than once when changing device or connection. Without a usable technical source, only a page load may be counted and the visitor estimate is marked incomplete or unavailable.
Statistics and daily digests are used only for aggregate reports restricted to administration; they are not linked to account identifiers or payments and are not used for advertising or tracking across sites. Data older than thirteen calendar months is excluded from reports. It is deleted in batches on subsequent eligible visits or dashboard reads; expired data may therefore remain until those operations without being used in reports. Commercial evidence follows its separate retention rules.
The server respects the browser signals Do Not Track (DNT: 1) and Global Privacy Control (Sec-GPC: 1) by excluding the visit from this internal measurement. You may also request review of an objection or further information through Contact. These signals and internal measurement remain separate from advertising choices and Google’s consent message.
Advertising cookies and your choices
Advertisements remain disabled on VersAI Safe. The Google consent message may load in the catalogue, subject to the rights applicable to your visit, even before the site receives advertising approval. Showing this message enables no advertisements and does not mean you have consented.
Loading the message involves connections to Google, which may receive technical data needed to provide it, including an IP address and browser information. The message presents the available choices and relevant partners.
Advertisements may be offered during beta after Google approves the site, a certified CMP is published, and the configuration and membership rights are verified. All these conditions must be met before activation.
If advertising is enabled and your choices allow it, third-party providers, including Google, may use cookies to serve advertisements based on previous visits to VersAI or other websites. Google and its partners may personalise advertisements subject to your settings and eligibility.
Google and other partners
The prepared settings use Google’s list of commonly used advertising partners, including Google Advertising Products. The selection may change; the public reference list does not mean that all listed partners currently receive your data.
Open “Ad partners” in the consent message to see the actual partner selection, purposes and each partner’s privacy links.

Refuse, change or withdraw consent
Refusing the requested advertising permissions prevents advertisements from loading in this version of VersAI. When the server confirms your entitlement to an ad-free membership, no advertising script or advertising CMP loads. If those rights cannot be verified, advertising stays blocked.
To change or withdraw consent, return to the Catalogue and use “Privacy choices” in the footer before opening sign-in or your account. No account is needed to make this choice when it is offered for your visit. Refusing advertising permissions does not block catalogue browsing, free creations or account registration. Withdrawal blocks advertising; if advertisements have already loaded, VersAI reloads the page to stop them running.
You can also manage personalisation in Google My Ad Center and, where offered, partners’ settings linked from their privacy policies. These settings complement your choices on VersAI; they do not replace the consent requested by its CMP.
This privacy page and the cookies page load neither advertisements nor an advertising CMP message. The Catalogue link lets you reach the available choices without embedding those tools on these pages.
