Cookie Policy

Effective and last updated: July 12, 2026

1. Scope of this policy

This policy explains the cookies, browser local-storage records, and similar technologies used by VibeDowns Studio. Audio files are not written to these records.

2. What are cookies and local storage?

A cookie is a small text record saved by a website and may be sent to the server with later requests. Local storage is a record kept only in the browser. Both may be used to remember preferences, protect security, or perform consented measurement.

3. Essential records

The following records support core site functions, language choice, privacy preference, and rating protection. They do not depend on optional measurement consent.

vds_cookie_preferences_v2Local storageUntil changed or clearedStore preference version, choice, and update time
vds_rating_voter_idLocal storageUntil browser data is clearedPrevent unlimited repeat ratings from the same browser

4. Consent-based first-party measurement records

When you allow optional measurement, the following first-party cookies may be used for campaign and redirect measurement. The application deletes them when consent is withdrawn.

vlh_sessionUp to 1 yearGroup consented measurement requests under one technical session
vlh_utm_sourceUp to 1 yearRemember campaign source
vlh_utm_mediumUp to 1 yearRemember campaign medium
vlh_utm_campaignUp to 1 yearRemember campaign name

5. Umami usage measurement

Optional measurementUmami · dashboard.mxyn.cloud

The Umami script loads only after you allow optional measurement. Automatic tracking is disabled; the site sends only approved page views and general product events. Umami does not use analytics cookies by default.

Data may include page path, referrer, browser and device type, approximate region, campaign parameters, basic page-performance metrics, and the name of a general tool action. The browser Do Not Track preference is respected. Audio files, file names, lyric text, email addresses, and phone numbers are not sent.

6. Google tags

If Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads, or AdSense identifiers are configured in production, those services load only after optional measurement consent. Google services may use their own cookies or similar identifiers; names and retention periods can vary with Google configuration.

AnalyticsGoogle Analytics 4

When configured, it may measure aggregate page and tool usage.

Tag managementGoogle Tag Manager

When configured, it manages only the Google tags permitted by consent.

AdvertisingGoogle Ads / AdSense

When configured, these services may be used for ad delivery and performance measurement.

7. Google Consent Mode

Google Consent Mode starts with measurement and advertising permissions denied. The site does not load Google measurement or advertising scripts without consent. When consent is granted, the relevant signals are updated; when withdrawn, future measurement calls stop.

8. Audio files

Audio files are not cookies or local measurement records. Audio selected in the tools is processed on your device and is not sent to measurement services.

9. Managing preferences

  • Use the Cookie preferences link in the footer to reopen the panel.
  • Essential only keeps Umami and configured Google tags disabled.
  • You may withdraw consent later; this deletes consent-based first-party measurement cookies and stops new measurement calls.
  • You may clear cookies and local storage in browser settings. This can also reset language and rating preferences.

10. Changes and contact

This policy may be updated when technologies or legal requirements change. The current version will be published on this page with a revised date.
