Cookies, honestly explained.
We use the smallest sensible set of cookies to keep this site working and to understand what's useful on it. No ad tech, no third-party trackers, no dark patterns.
What are cookies?
Small text files a website puts on your device so it can remember things between visits — whether you're signed in, what you last looked at, whether you've already dismissed a banner. Some are strictly necessary; others are there to help the site owner understand usage.
We only set cookies that are either strictly necessary to run the site or that are limited to anonymous, aggregate analytics.
Which cookies we use
| Cookie | Category | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
pulse_session | Necessary | Keeps you signed into CaptionCraft during a visit. | Session |
pulse_consent | Necessary | Remembers your cookie choices. | 12 months |
pulse_prefs | Preferences | Theme choice and reading progress. | 6 months |
pulse_analytics | Analytics | Anonymous, aggregate visit data — no personal identifiers. | 30 days |
That's it. Four cookies. No advertising, cross-site, or fingerprinting cookies on this domain.
Third parties
Light-touch analytics only, privacy-first. No persistent identifiers, no fingerprinting, no sharing with advertisers.
Embedded content from YouTube, Vimeo, or social platforms (if any appear on the site) may set their own cookies when loaded — these are lazy-loaded so they don't run unless you actively engage with the embed.
Browser controls
You can clear, block, or be notified about cookies in every modern browser — settings live under Privacy & Security. Blocking strictly-necessary cookies will prevent CaptionCraft from signing you in, but the public site will still work fine.
Changes
If we add or remove any cookie, this page gets updated and the “last updated” date at the top changes. Material changes get flagged in a banner for 30 days.
