Cookies and advertising

A cookie or browser localStorage entry is a small setting a website saves in your browser to remember your preferences (such as your chosen language or whether you dismissed the cookie banner). Pixels and conversion tags are lightweight scripts that send a request to an analytics or advertising provider when a page loads — on this website, they run only if you explicitly allow them.

Without your permission, scenastudio.app stores only two strictly necessary settings in your browser’s local storage: (a) scena_lang, which remembers whether you selected English or Vietnamese; and (b) scena-consent, which remembers your cookie choices for 12 months so we do not show the consent banner on every page load. Neither setting contains personal identifiers, and neither is ever shared with third parties.

On your first visit, a banner at the bottom of the screen asks whether you wish to allow optional analytics and advertising cookies. Reject all is presented with the exact same visual prominence and one-click simplicity as Accept all, and clicking Choose lets you toggle Analytics and Advertising independently.

In full compliance with the Google EU User Consent Policy and Google Consent Mode v2, our website initializes ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, and analytics_storage to denied by default before any tag can load. When you update your choice, your decision is passed in real time via the Consent Mode v2 API.

If you switch on Analytics, we use Plausible Analytics (hosted in the European Union) to count aggregate visits and pageviews so we know which guides and documentation pages are useful. Plausible is 100% cookieless, collects no personal data or IP addresses, and never tracks you across other websites or devices. Aggregate statistics are kept for 12 months. It remains completely off unless you allow it.

If you switch on Advertising, Google Ads conversion tracking tells us when a click on a Google Search or YouTube ad led to a download of Scena Studio. If you allow personalised advertising, Google and other third-party vendors use cookies (such as _gcl_au and _ga) to serve and measure ads based on your past visits to this and other websites.

In addition to revoking consent on this site at any time, you can manage or disable Google personalised ads in Google’s My Ad Center at adssettings.google.com or via the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at aboutads.info.

If you switch on Advertising, the Meta Pixel notifies Meta Platforms when a visit from a Facebook or Instagram ad resulted in a download. Meta and third parties may use cookies (_fbp, _fbc), web beacons, and similar technologies to collect or receive measurement information from this website and use it to provide measurement services and target ads under Meta’s Data Policy. You can opt out at any time using our Cookie Preferences dialog, in your Facebook/Instagram Ad Preferences, or at youronlinechoices.eu in Europe.

When we run campaigns on Microsoft Advertising (Bing) or TikTok, their respective conversion tags (_uetvid, _ttp) follow the exact same rule: they are blocked by default and load only after you explicitly grant Advertising consent.

If your browser sends the Global Privacy Control (navigator.globalPrivacyControl === true / Sec-GPC: 1) signal, our consent engine automatically detects it and keeps ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization locked to denied in accordance with CCPA/CPRA and GDPR automated opt-out standards.

This policy applies solely to the scenastudio.app website. The Scena Studio Windows desktop application contains zero cookies, zero web analytics, zero advertising SDKs, and zero behavioural tracking code.

Even if you opt in to Advertising cookies on this website, we never send your account email address, licence key, scripts, prompts, character reference images, or anything from inside the desktop app to Google, Meta, Microsoft, TikTok, or any advertising network, and we never sell personal data.

Click the Open Cookie Preferences button at the top of the table on this page, or click the Cookies link in the website footer on any page, to reopen the preferences dialog and switch off Analytics or Advertising at any time. Clearing your browser’s site data or blocking cookies in your browser settings also resets your choice, and the website will continue to work normally.

Any new analytics or advertising measurement tool will be added to the inventory table on this page before it is deployed on the website, and will remain off until you explicitly opt in.
