Cookies & browser storage
Effective date: 1 October 2026
Essential storage and optional analytics
Essential cookies operate the service. On reelfaceswap.com, Google Analytics 4 loads with Consent Mode. Before consent or after rejection, it can send limited measurement signals without analytics cookies. Accept analytics enables full measurement. Outside the EU, analytics is automatically enabled after country detection, unless you have explicitly rejected it. Unknown locations remain in the cookie-free mode; the service still works. No advertising tracking is enabled.
What is stored
- Account session: rfs_account (rfs_staging_account on the test site) keeps you signed in and supports login security; up to 30 days.
- Job/import access: rfs_client identifies your browser so it can access its own imports and results; up to 30 days.
- Owner connection: rfs_pc is used only when pairing the owner's download browser; up to 30 days.
- Session storage: current job/import references allow status checks to continue after a refresh, for the browser-tab session.
- Cookie settings: rfs_cookie_preferences in local storage remembers this notice for up to 180 days before we show it again.
Optional analytics storage
Google Analytics uses _ga and _ga_* cookies (normally up to 2 years) to measure consented visits and usage. rfs_analytics remembers your choice for up to 180 days. Local rfs_ga_sent entries prevent repeat event reporting in this browser. No email, face photo, video, Instagram URL or job identifier is sent as an event parameter. Confirmed purchase events contain an opaque transaction reference, amount and credit package. Browser analytics can be blocked or missed; our accounting database remains the source of truth.
External services
Country detection uses ipapi.co, with api.country.is as a fallback; these providers receive your IP address. Google sign-in and Stripe checkout have their own cookies and privacy information on their respective services. They open when you choose those features. We do not embed Instagram tracking on this page.
Your choices
Use Cookie settings in the footer to reopen this information. You can remove browser storage in your browser settings; removing essential cookies can sign you out or interrupt access to a job. You can accept or reject analytics at any time. Withdrawing consent switches Google measurement to signals without analytics cookies and removes accessible Google Analytics cookies. These signals do not guarantee an individually counted visitor in Analytics reports.
