Privacy & cookies.

Last updated: September 24, 2026

Small Light Stories is operated by Mervan Aliu in North Macedonia. You can contact us about privacy through the accounts listed on our contact page.

Reading and watching

You do not need a reader account to use the public journal. This site has no reader comments, newsletter signup, or visitor-upload form. The hosting providers, OpenAI Sites and Cloudflare, process technical information such as IP addresses, request details, and security logs to deliver and protect the website. Their service policies also apply.

Publisher sign-in

The private studio uses Sign in with ChatGPT. Identity information is used to check whether the signed-in person is the authorized publisher. Authentication may use essential session cookies. Drafts and unpublished uploads are restricted to the publisher.

Advertising and analytics

Advertising is currently disabled, and we have not installed a visitor analytics service. Before enabling Google AdSense, we will update this notice and configure the required consent controls. When enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads. Learn more about how Google uses information from partner sites.

Links to social platforms

Facebook and Instagram links open their own services. Their privacy rules apply there. The Facebook share button opens a sharing window only when you choose it; we do not embed social tracking widgets.

Storage and your choices

Published posts remain available until edited or withdrawn. Drafts and uploaded assets remain in the publisher’s storage until removed by the operator. Technical-log retention is controlled by the hosting providers. You can manage cookies in your browser and contact us about access, correction, or deletion of personal information, subject to applicable requirements.

Do not send sensitive personal information through social messages. We do not sell a visitor mailing list or collect payment-card details on this website.
