Introduction
At LipSync.org ("we", "our", "us"), we use cookies and similar technologies to deliver, secure, and improve our AI-powered lip-synchronisation platform. This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, why we use them, and how you can manage your preferences.
Your continued use of LipSync.org (the "Service") signifies that you understand and agree to the placement of cookies as described below.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help websites remember information about your visit—such as your preferred language—and can make the site easier to use on subsequent visits.
Why We Use Cookies
- Essential Operations – to log you in, keep your session active, and enable core platform features (e.g. video upload & processing dashboards).
- Security & Integrity – to detect fraud, abuse, and authorised access to AI processing resources.
- Performance & Analytics – to understand how users interact with our Service (e.g. page load times, feature usage) so we can optimise AI rendering pipelines and user experience. We currently use Google Analytics and Fathom Analytics; both set their own cookies.
- Preferences – to remember choices such as language (EN/中文) or UI theme.
- Marketing – with your consent, we may use first-party cookies to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and display relevant LipSync.org promotional content.
We do not sell or share cookie-derived data with third-party advertisers.
