Cookie Policy (English Version)
Note: This English version is provided for readers who do not use Chinese. If there is any discrepancy, the Chinese version shall prevail.
Version 1.0 | Effective: 【2026-09-11】 | Last updated: 【2026-09-11】
aition.xin and its subdomains (the "Site"), operated by 【Legal entity / operator name】 ("we", "us"), use cookies and local storage to keep the Site running, maintain login state, remember your preferences and produce basic visit statistics. This Policy explains which technologies we use, why, for how long, and how you can manage them. For how we handle personal information, please also see our Privacy Policy.
1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage
1.1 Cookies are small text files written to your browser, typically used to remember login state and preferences. Local storage is browser-provided storage with a similar role; the data stays on your own device and is not sent with every request.
1.2 The Site does not use cookies or local storage for advertising, cross-site tracking or user profiling, and does not load any third-party advertising or analytics scripts.
2. What We Use
(a) Cookies

(c) Notes
Apart from the items above, the Site sets no third-party cookies.
Our server-side security logs (IP address, user agent, access time) are not cookies or local storage; their handling is described in Sections 2 and 6 of the Privacy Policy.
Page-view and unique-visitor statistics are produced from the anonymous identifier and server-side aggregation. They are not linked to your account, email or nickname, and we cannot identify you from that identifier.
3. About Consent
3.1 On your first visit, a cookie banner appears at the bottom of the page where you may choose "Accept all" or "Necessary only". Your choice is stored in the local storage item aition_cookie_consent.
3.2 We group technologies as follows:
Strictly necessary: login sessions and security protections. These are required for the Site to function and cannot be disabled; disabling them prevents login and interactive features.
Functional preference: remembering your consent choice.
Basic statistics: page-view measurement using an anonymous visitor identifier only — not for identifying individuals, advertising or cross-site tracking.
Non-essential (analytics, advertising, third-party media): the Site currently deploys none.
3.3 Consequently, within the Site's current functionality, "Accept all" and "Necessary only" have the same practical effect. We keep the option so that we can honour your choice if we introduce non-essential technologies in future — at which point we will update this Policy and seek your consent again.
4. Third Parties and External Links
4.1 WeChat QR sign-in: if you choose WeChat sign-in, you are redirected to Tencent WeChat's authorisation page, which may set its own cookies under Tencent WeChat's privacy policy. We receive only the verification result and necessary identifiers, and never obtain or store your WeChat password.
4.2 Email delivery: we send password reset and notification emails through NetEase 163 SMTP; this does not involve setting cookies on the Site.
4.3 Visit statistics are entirely self-developed and self-hosted. We do not use Google Analytics, Baidu Analytics, Umeng or any other third-party analytics service.
5. How to Manage
5.1 You can view or delete cookies and clear site data (including local storage) in your browser settings, typically under "Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data".
5.2 Effects of clearing or blocking:
Clearing
aition_user/aition_admin: you will need to log in again;Clearing
aition_cookie_consent: the cookie banner will appear again on your next visit;Clearing
aition_vid: your next visit will be counted as a new visitor; this does not affect your access to any content;Blocking strictly necessary cookies: you can still browse public content, but login, comments, submissions and forms will not work.
5.3 In private or incognito browsing, the above cookies and local storage are typically cleared when the session ends.
6. Updates and Contact
6.1 We may update this Policy as functionality or the law changes. The updated version takes effect upon publication on this page.
