On this page
This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage) that AutoReel uses on autoreel.app and in the AutoReel app. For everything else about personal data, see the Privacy Policy.
The short version
- Cookies that make the site and app work are always on.
- Analytics only runs if you accept it. Until you choose, and if you decline, nothing about your visit is captured for analytics and no analytics cookies are stored.
- We don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Strictly necessary
These are needed for the service to work, so they don't need consent.
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-in session cookies | Keep you signed in and protect your account | Until you sign out, or the session expires |
| Security cookies | Protect sign-in, sign-up and forms against abuse and cross-site request forgery | The session, or a short time |
| Bot check (Cloudflare Turnstile) | Tells people from bots on sign-up and sign-in | A short time |
| Your cookie choice (local storage) | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics | Until you change it or clear it |
| Theme (local storage) | Remembers light or dark mode | Until you clear it |
Referral
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
autoreel_ref | Set only when you arrive through an affiliate's link, so the affiliate can be credited if you sign up and subscribe. It holds a random identifier, not your personal details. | Up to 60 days |
Analytics (only with your consent)
We use PostHog to understand how people use AutoReel so we can improve it: which pages are visited, which features are used, where people get stuck. If you accept analytics, PostHog stores a cookie with a random identifier and may record session replays of how you use the site and app (text typed into form fields is masked). Analytics requests go through our own domain.
If you decline, or until you choose, PostHog runs without cookies and captures nothing.
Payments
When you pay, you're taken to Stripe's checkout and billing pages, which set their own cookies to process payments and prevent fraud. They're covered by Stripe's privacy policy.
Changing your choice
Open Cookie settings in the footer of any page on autoreel.app to accept or decline analytics at any time. You can also clear your browser's data for autoreel.app and you'll be asked again. Blocking strictly necessary cookies in your browser will stop sign-in from working.
