Cookie Policy

Version {{version}} · Last updated {{last_updated}}

The short version

{{site_name}} uses essential cookies only. There are no advertising cookies, no third-party analytics cookies, and no cross-site tracking. Because everything we set is strictly necessary for the service to function or user preference storage, there is nothing optional to opt in or out of — the cookie notice you see is informational, not a legal consent requirement.

First-party cookies

CookieTypeLifetimePurposeCategory
bb_session Persistent 90 days (authenticated) · 30 days (anonymous) Session identifier. Used to maintain your login state and to deduplicate votes, views, and engagement signals for anonymous visitors across sessions. Set to HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite=Lax. Essential

Browser-side storage (localStorage)

{{site_name}} does not use localStorage to track you. The following keys store only local preferences that never leave your device:

Storage KeyPurposeExpiry
bbCookieNoticeSeen Remembers that you have dismissed the cookie notice banner. Prevents the banner from showing on every page load. Until you clear your browser cache
ollageQuality Stores your adaptive video quality preference (auto, original, or web). Applied on the client side only. Until you clear your browser cache

No third-party cookies

{{site_name}} does not install third-party cookies, pixels, or tracking beacons. We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, or similar services. All engagement data is collected via first-party server-side logging and is tied at most to your bb_session cookie.

Age-gate status

Your age-gate verification status for anonymous visitors is stored server-side keyed to your bb_session cookie. No separate client cookie is created for this purpose.

Do Not Track (DNT)

{{site_name}} honors the Do Not Track (DNT) header if your browser sends one. When we detect DNT=1, we treat it as a request to limit tracking and personalization. We do not use your behavior to target advertising or build detailed audience profiles, so DNT has limited practical effect on our site — but we respect the signal.

Global Privacy Control (GPC)

If your browser or device supports the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal and sends GPC=1, {{site_name}} treats it as an opt-out request under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and similar U.S. state privacy laws. Although {{site_name}} does not sell or share personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising, we honor GPC to align with privacy-first browser behavior.

Consequence of disabling cookies

If you block or delete bb_session:

  • You will be signed out of your account on the next page load.
  • If you are not yet {{site_name}} age-verified, you will see the age gate on your next visit.
  • Your votes, views, and saved clips will not be associated with your session.
  • You can still browse {{site_name}}, but you will lose persistent state and personalization.

Changes to this policy

{{site_name}} may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected here with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of {{site_name}} after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
