What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website asks your browser to store. Cookies can remember preferences or recognize a returning browser. Some are required for the site to work; others are optional.
What we use
clipit_session- Strictly necessary. A first-party HTTP-only cookie containing a random session ID. We use it to associate the projects you create with your browser so they show up on your home page when you return. Lifetime: about one year, or until you clear it. No personal data is stored inside the cookie itself.
clipit_theme(localStorage)-
Not technically a cookie — it is stored in your browser’s
localStorageand never sent to us. It remembers whether you chose light or dark mode. - Stripe checkout cookies
- When you click Buy & Download, Stripe sets its own cookies on its checkout page for fraud prevention and to make checkout work. These are governed by Stripe’s cookie policy.
- Cloudflare Turnstile (when enabled)
- On the upload form we may use Cloudflare Turnstile to distinguish humans from bots. Turnstile is designed to avoid traditional tracking cookies, but it sets a short-lived first-party cookie strictly for the challenge.
What we don’t use
- No third-party advertising or remarketing trackers.
- No cross-site profiling.
- No analytics that build a profile of you across sessions.
Managing cookies
You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings. If you clear or block clipit_session, your existing projects will no longer appear on the home page on this device, and you’ll receive a fresh session ID the next time you load the site.
Browser instructions:
Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control
Because we do not use cross-site tracking or advertising cookies, there is nothing to opt out of. We do not respond to the legacy Do Not Track header or to Global Privacy Control signals beyond what is already true: we don’t track you across other sites.
Changes
If we add cookies in the future (for example, an analytics cookie), we will update this page and clearly mark them. Material changes will be highlighted.
