Cookie Policy

1. What Cookies and Similar Technologies Are

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include pixels, tags, local storage, session storage, scripts, and identifiers that help websites remember information, keep accounts working, measure usage, or provide features.

Cookies may be set by us directly ("first-party cookies") or by third parties that provide services to us ("third-party cookies").

2. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

Necessary and essential technologies

Necessary and essential technologies help operate the website and product. They may be used for security, routing, form behavior, runtime configuration, account sessions, fraud prevention, rate limiting, billing flow continuity, project continuity, and service health monitoring.

Preference technologies

Preference technologies remember choices such as your cookie banner choice, workspace state, cached profile image, billing cache, project cache, render job cache, caption style cache, and other interface or product state needed to make the app usable across pages.

Optional analytics and advertising technologies

Optional analytics technologies help us understand product usage and improve the editing flow. Google Analytics is loaded only after you choose "Accept analytics" in the cookie banner. If Google Ads conversion tracking, Google signals, remarketing, or similar advertising features are enabled, those features are treated as optional analytics and advertising technologies.

Marketing technologies

We may use advertising measurement, remarketing, ads personalization, or cross-site advertising technologies only when they are disclosed and enabled through the relevant optional choice or another legally required consent or opt-out mechanism.

3. Essential Service Telemetry

We use first-party telemetry to monitor whether the Service works. This includes the landing, authentication, authenticated project, editor, render, download, checkout, customer portal, and Stripe webhook funnel.

Essential telemetry may use a session funnel identifier stored in session storage. Events may include event name, timestamp, route path, page type, CTA source or intent label, job ID, render job ID, script index, plan ID, style ID, aspect-ratio ID, status, count, boolean values, latency or duration values, and error category.

Essential telemetry is sent to our own backend endpoint. It does not intentionally include email addresses, payment card details, full YouTube URLs, YouTube video IDs, video contents, project titles, prompts, transcript text, script text, pending-project capability tokens, OAuth tokens, or other raw user-authored content.

4. Optional Google Analytics and Advertising Measurement

Google Analytics is optional. The Google Analytics script is not loaded by our site until you choose "Accept analytics" in the cookie banner. If you choose "Essential only", Google Analytics is not loaded for optional product analytics. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal and no cookie choice has been stored, optional analytics stays off.

When optional analytics is accepted, Google Analytics may set cookies or use similar technologies to collect sanitized information about website visits, pages viewed, button sources, route labels, auth and billing funnel events, project and render status events, scroll depth, navigation, browser and device details, referrer, approximate location, and similar usage data.

We do not intentionally send email addresses, payment details, video contents, full YouTube URLs, YouTube video IDs, project titles, prompts, transcript text, script text, or other raw user-authored content to Google Analytics.

We may also enable Google Analytics Advertising Features, Google Ads conversion tracking, Google signals, linked Google Ads and Analytics reporting, ads personalization, remarketing audiences, demographics and interests reporting, and similar advertising measurement features. If enabled, Google and related advertising services may use first-party identifiers, first-party cookies such as Google Analytics cookies, third-party cookies such as Google advertising cookies, and other Google identifiers together to measure ads, attribute conversions, understand cross-device or aggregate campaign performance, build or measure audiences, and show or optimize ads.

Where applicable law treats these advertising features as a sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising, we will provide the required notice and opt-out choices before using those features for covered users.

5. Third-Party Tools and Browser Storage

The product uses Supabase browser authentication with persistent browser storage so account sessions can survive page reloads and be refreshed. Google may also set cookies or use similar technologies when you choose Google authentication.

The product uses session storage for temporary auth context, pending-project capability data, a session funnel identifier, workspace cache, billing cache, project cache, render job cache, caption style cache, and similar product state. Pending-project capability data lets an unauthenticated YouTube submission be claimed by the same browser after signing in.

The cookie banner stores your choice in local storage using a site key for essential-only or optional-analytics mode.

Google Fonts may be requested by public pages to load the site font. Stripe may use cookies or similar technologies during hosted checkout and Customer Portal flows. Third-party websites and hosted flows use their own cookies and privacy practices.

6. Your Cookie Choices

You can control cookies in several ways:

• choose "Essential only" or "Accept analytics" in the cookie banner when it is shown;
• use browser settings to block, delete, or limit cookies;
• clear site data for clipmaker.studio to reset stored local storage and session storage choices;
• use private browsing or similar browser features;
• install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on where supported;
• manage Google ads personalization in Google Ad Settings;
• send a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser. When no cookie choice has been stored, this keeps optional analytics off.

Blocking cookies may affect website functionality, product features, account sessions, project continuity, checkout return handling, or analytics accuracy.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
