Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 13, 2026.
This policy explains how MangaZen uses browser storage for sessions and reader settings.
1. Session cookie
When you sign in, we set HTTP-only first-party cookies for your session. These include mangazen_access_token for authentication; we may also use mangazen_refresh_token and mangazen_user_id to renew and associate your session securely. They are used for security and continuity. You can remove cookies through your browser settings; signing out also clears these cookies in normal operation.
2. Local storage for the reader
To improve reading comfort, we may store preferences in your browser using localStorage (not a traditional cookie), such as screen brightness, reading direction (for example, left-to-right or right-to-left), image fit mode, and reading mode (for example, scroll versus page-by-page) in the reader. These values remain on your device unless you clear site data.
We do not use these mechanisms to track you across unrelated websites.
