Cookie Policy

Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They let the site remember things about you (like that you're signed in) and how you use the site. “Similar technologies” includes local storage, session storage, web beacons, and pixels that perform comparable functions.

Strictly necessary

These cookies are required for the Service to function. We can't turn them off and you can't opt out without breaking the Service.

• Authentication cookies (set by Clerk) — keep you signed in across pages.
• Security cookies — prevent CSRF attacks and detect abuse.
• Session cookies — remember in-flight actions like an unsaved video render.
• Load balancing & routing cookies — route you to the right server.

Functional

These remember preferences like your selected theme (light/dark mode) or dismissed banners. Disabling them won't break the Service but it will lose your preferences between sessions.

Analytics & performance

We use minimal first-party analytics to count visits, measure page-load times, and identify broken pages. These cookies do not track you across other sites.

Error monitoring

Sentry sets cookies and local-storage items to correlate errors with sessions, which helps us debug. They do not track you across other sites.

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use to run the Service:

• Clerk — authentication.
• Stripe — payment processing and fraud prevention (only on checkout pages).
• Sentry — error monitoring.
• Vercel — hosting and CDN performance.

Each of these is bound by its own privacy policy. We do not use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or cross-context tracking.

You can control cookies in several ways:

• Browser settings: every modern browser lets you block or delete cookies. See aboutcookies.org for instructions for your browser.
• Private/incognito mode:opens a fresh cookie jar that's wiped when you close the window.
• Sign out:clears your authentication cookies. You'll need to sign in again on next visit.

Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will prevent you from using the Service. Blocking only functional or analytics cookies will still let you use the Service normally.

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. We do not currently respond to DNT signals because there is no universal standard for how to interpret them. We do not use the cross-site tracking that DNT was designed to prevent.

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add or remove services that use cookies. We'll update the “Last updated” date and, where appropriate, notify you in the app.
