Cookie Policy
What this policy covers
This policy describes the cookies, browser storage and similar technologies used on Soundbank.Studio. It covers both HTTP cookies and browser storage mechanisms that store data on your device.
Technologies used
| Category | Technologies used | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Necessary | First-party browser storage | Remembers your consent choice and supports site operation. | Until you change your choice, clear your browser storage or the consent policy version changes |
| Necessary | First-party tester access cookie | Confirms a tester’s access to the private pack and feedback form. It is not used for analytics. | Until the current pack-access or feedback expiry |
| Necessary | Stripe checkout cookies | Supports payment processing in Stripe Checkout. These cookies are set by Stripe and are not controlled by Soundbank.Studio. | Checkout session / provider-defined |
| Limited audience measurement | PostHog cookieless pageview measurement | After “Necessary only”, counts basic pageviews without cookies or a persistent identifier. No analytics identifier is stored in the browser; the consent preference still uses browser storage. | No analytics browser storage; pageview events retained up to 12 months |
| Analytics (optional) | PostHog analytics and local browser storage | With Analytics consent, enables a random, pseudonymous browser identifier, named interactions and technical diagnostics. No profiles, advertising, cross-site tracking, session recordings or surveys; no form contents, purchase or tester identifiers, download tokens, payment information or survey answers are sent. | Local identifier until withdrawal or storage clearing; events up to 12 months |
| External media (on request) | YouTube privacy-enhanced embedded player | Plays the demo only after you select “Play demo”. Google/YouTube may then process your IP address, browser and device information, page or referrer information, and playback interactions. | Provider-defined; no YouTube request before you select the demo |
Analytics and browser storage
Nothing for analytics loads before you make a choice in the cookie banner. If you choose “Necessary only”, we still count basic pageviews without cookies or a persistent identifier. If you enable Analytics, PostHog enables a random, pseudonymous browser identifier, named product interactions and technical performance and error diagnostics. We do not create profiles, use advertising, cross-site tracking, session recordings or surveys, and we do not send form contents, purchase or tester identifiers, download tokens, payment information or survey answers to PostHog. Withdrawing Analytics consent clears the persistent identity and returns measurement to the limited mode. See our Privacy Policy for the wider processing information.
Embedded YouTube demo
The YouTube privacy-enhanced embedded player does not load until you select
“Play demo”. Until then, the site displays its own local preview and sends no
request to YouTube. Selecting the demo loads it from youtube-nocookie.com; this is
separate from your site Analytics preference. Privacy-enhanced mode limits personalisation but
does not make playback anonymous. Google/YouTube processes the resulting request under
Google’s Privacy Policy. Closing the demo
removes the embedded player from the page.
Managing your preferences
You can accept Analytics, choose “Necessary only”, or customise your preferences at any time using the cookie banner. Click “Cookie settings” in the footer to reopen it. You may also clear browser storage through your browser’s privacy settings.
