When you sign in, 3DModelBay stores authentication tokens in your browser's local storage so you can remain signed in across page loads. These tokens are used to authorize requests to protected API endpoints.

Cookies, Advertising, and Consent

3DModelBay may display advertising provided by Google AdSense. When enabled, Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve, measure, and personalize ads, subject to user choices and applicable law.

Content Visibility

Public model listings, uploader display names, and model metadata can be visible to other visitors. Information included in DMCA reports, moderation actions, or support emails may be shared when necessary to investigate abuse, enforce rules, or comply with legal obligations.

We use third-party infrastructure and service providers to operate the platform, including hosting, authentication, storage, and advertising providers such as Amazon Web Services, Cloudflare, Google, and related vendors acting on our behalf.
