What this policy covers

This policy describes the cookies, localStorage, and similar technologies used on Soundbank.Studio. It covers both HTTP cookies and browser storage mechanisms that store data on your device.

Categories of data stored

Category Technology Purpose Third party Duration
Necessary Cookies + localStorage Stripe Checkout session handling, cookie-consent preferences stored in localStorage (sbs-cookie-consent) Stripe, self Session / persistent (consent)
Analytics JavaScript (cookieless) Aggregated page-view analytics via Plausible. Plausible is cookieless, uses no advertising IDs, performs no cross-site tracking, and collects only aggregated data. Loaded only after your explicit consent. Plausible Insights OÜ (EU) No cookies set; aggregated data retained by Plausible per their policy

Stripe checkout cookies

When you proceed to checkout, Stripe may set cookies on the checkout.stripe.com domain necessary for payment processing. These cookies are set by Stripe and are not controlled by Soundbank.Studio. They are strictly necessary for the transaction to complete. Stripe's own cookie policy applies on that domain.

localStorage / sessionStorage

This site uses localStorage to store your cookie-consent preferences (key: sbs-cookie-consent). This data remains on your browser and is not sent to our servers. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

Plausible analytics

When you consent to the Analytics category, we load Plausible (plausible.io), an EU-hosted analytics service. Plausible is cookieless: it does not use cookies, advertising IDs, or cross-site tracking. All data is aggregated and anonymised. It is loaded only after you give explicit consent via the cookie banner.

Managing your preferences

You can accept, deny, or customise your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie banner. Click "Cookie settings" in the footer to reopen it. You may also clear localStorage via your browser's developer tools or privacy settings.
