Cookie policy
What ModFiveM keeps on your device, why, for how long, and how you change your choice.
Last updated October 30, 2026
The cookie policy is written by ModFiveM and describes how the site works today. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer yet; when that is done, this line goes.
What cookies and browser storage are
A cookie is a small text file a website stores in your browser and reads back when you return. Browsers also have other storage a site can use, such as local storage, session storage and IndexedDB. This policy calls them all cookies and storage, and lists each one ModFiveM uses.
Under the Swedish Electronic Communications Act (lagen om elektronisk kommunikation, chapter 9, section 28) and the EU’s ePrivacy rules, a site may only store or read something on your device if you agree to it, unless it is needed to give you a service you asked for, such as staying signed in. Where cookies concern personal data, the GDPR applies too, as the privacy policy describes.
In short
ModFiveM uses the cookies and storage the site needs: to sign you in and keep you signed in, to remember your language and your cookie choice, to keep your projects and choices in the editors on this device, and to count an invitation you followed. These need no consent and are always on.
One kind is optional: content from other services. Profile pictures from Discord and Google are only loaded if you allow it; otherwise the first letter of the name is shown. Discord’s picture server can set its own cookies, and loading a picture sends your IP address to Discord or Google.
There are no cookies for statistics, advertising or tracking, and no scripts from Google Analytics, Facebook, TikTok or other ad networks.
Cookies
These are the cookies the site sets itself, and the ones Discord’s picture server may set when you have allowed content from other services.
On modfivem.com the sign-in cookies’ names begin with __Secure- (for example __Secure-pedforge.session_token), which tells the browser to send them over an encrypted connection only. The names say pedforge because that was ModFiveM’s former name.

Storage in the browser
The site and the editors also keep things in your browser’s storage. All of it is ModFiveM’s own, stays on this device and is part of something you use, so it needs no consent. None of it is sent to other services.
If you clear the site’s data in the browser, this is removed too, including projects that are only on this device. Export or save what you want to keep first.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Kind | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|---|
pedforge.modforge.modfivem.localStorage | ModFiveM | Your choices on the site and in the editors: panel widths, export settings, brush presets, recent colours, the catalog’s layout, closed announcements and giveaway cards, and the pairing with ModFiveM for the computer. | Necessary | Until you clear the site’s data |
modfivem.localStorage | ModFiveM | The support chat’s last messages, on this device only. | Necessary | Until you clear the chat or the site’s data |
pedforge.localStorage | ModFiveM | Credits to give back when an export did not finish, until the site reaches the server. | Necessary | Until it is handled |

modfivem-sound-editorIndexedDB | ModFiveM | Your projects in the sound editor. | Necessary | Until you delete the project or clear the site’s data |
Other services
Profile pictures from Discord and Google are loaded from Discord’s and Google’s own servers, and only if you have allowed content from other services. Discord and Google then receive your IP address and handle it under their own privacy policies. Pictures you upload yourself are kept by ModFiveM and are always shown.
Payments happen on Stripe’s own checkout page, outside modfivem.com. Stripe sets its own cookies there, for security and to prevent fraud, under Stripe’s privacy policy. No Stripe script runs on ModFiveM’s pages.
When you sign in with Google or Discord you visit their pages, which have their own cookies. ModFiveM only gets back what the sign-in needs.
The site’s typefaces, pictures and films are served by ModFiveM itself and its host Vercel, so no request goes to Google Fonts or a video service when you open a page.
Change or withdraw your choice
The first time you visit, a banner asks about cookies. Accept all allows content from other services, Only necessary keeps it off, and Customise lets you choose kind by kind. Nothing optional is on before you choose, and the site works the same whichever you pick.
You can change your choice at any time under Cookie settings at the bottom of every page, or with the button below. Your choice is kept in the cookie modfivem_consent for 12 months; after that, or when this policy changes, the site asks again.
If you turn content from other services off, no more pictures are loaded from Discord or Google. Cookies Discord has already set belong to Discord’s domain, and the site cannot remove them for you; you remove them in your browser’s settings, under cookies and site data for discordapp.com.
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser’s settings. If you delete ModFiveM’s cookies you are signed out, and the site forgets your language and your cookie choice.
Questions and changes
Questions about cookies go to alex@modfivem.com. How ModFiveM handles personal data, and your rights, are described in the privacy policy.
If ModFiveM starts using a new cookie or a new kind of cookie, it is added here first and the date at the top changes, and if it needs your consent, the site asks before it is used.
