What this site stores

VisuLit is a web app that turns public-domain literary quotes into portrait prompts. Storing book text and metadata on our servers is not the same as storing personal data about you — it is fixed catalog content, similar to a digital library.

We do store a small amount of information about your use of the app so it can function: for example a first-party technical cookie with a random ID (to apply daily free generation limits) and, if you allow it, analytics that help us see which features are used.

Essential cookies & similar storage

• user_id (cookie) — random identifier set by our server when you generate a portrait, used with server-side counters so free daily limits work. These are first-party and considered strictly necessary for the service you request.
• visulit_cookie_consent (browser local storage) — remembers whether you chose “Essential only” or “Accept analytics” so we do not show the banner on every visit.

Analytics (optional)

If you click Accept analytics, we load Google Analytics 4 to collect aggregated usage statistics (pages, events). We do not load GA until you opt in. Google’s privacy terms apply to how they process that data.

AI providers

When you generate a portrait, text prompts are sent to our AI providers to produce images and (where applicable) text. That is not a “cookie” but it is important to know: those requests leave your browser or our server and are processed by third-party infrastructure. See our forthcoming privacy policy for a fuller list of processors.

Server-side data

Our backend may keep short summaries of generations (e.g. prompt text and image URL) keyed to your technical ID for in-app history and support. This is separate from public book files.

Change your choice

You can switch between essential-only mode and analytics at any time. If you turn analytics off, we reload the page so Google scripts are no longer active in your session.
