This Cookie Policy explains what cookies and similar technologies tldl.fm uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. By using the Service, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy.

This policy should be read alongside our Privacy Policy, which provides further detail on how we handle personal data.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They are widely used to make websites work, improve performance, and provide information to site owners. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixel tags.

2. Categories of Cookies We Use

2.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the Service to function. They cannot be disabled. They do not track you for marketing purposes.

Session / authentication cookie (Supabase): Used to maintain your logged-in session. Set when you sign in. Expires when you sign out or after a period of inactivity. No personal data beyond a session token is stored in this cookie.

2.2 Analytics cookies (optional)

If we use analytics tools (such as Vercel Analytics), these may set cookies or use local storage to help us understand aggregate usage patterns — pages visited, features used, and general traffic sources. This data is used to improve the Service and is not used to identify you individually.

2.3 Third-party cookies

Stripe: When you proceed to checkout for the Pro tier, Stripe may set cookies on our payment pages for fraud prevention and payment processing purposes. These are subject to Stripe's cookie policy at stripe.com/cookie-settings.
Google OAuth: When you sign in with Google, Google may set cookies as part of its authentication flow. These are subject to Google's privacy and cookie policies.
Sign in with Apple: When you sign in with Apple, Apple may set cookies or use local storage as part of its authentication flow on supported platforms. These are subject to Apple's privacy policy at apple.com/privacy.

3. Cookie Retention

Strictly necessary session cookies expire when your browser session ends or when you log out. Any analytics cookies or persistent cookies are retained for a maximum of 12 months unless you clear them earlier.

4. How to Control Cookies

You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Common browsers allow you to block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or delete existing cookies. Note that disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from using the Service as they are required for authentication.

For more information on managing cookies in your browser:

For EU users: when you first visit tldl.fm, you will be presented with a cookie notice. Strictly necessary cookies will be set regardless of your choice, as they are required for the Service to function. Optional analytics cookies will only be set with your consent.
