How we use these technologies
"Cookies" is the usual shorthand, but it covers a few things: cookies themselves, browser local storage, and small scripts that measure how a page is used. This page covers all of them.
Necessary technologies always run, because without them the site cannot work or remember the choice you made here. Everything else runs only if you say yes, and nothing is loaded until you do — the optional tags are held inert in the page and are only switched on once you have granted the category they belong to.
The four categories
- Necessary. Keeping the site working, and remembering your cookie choice and your light or dark theme. Always active.
- Functional. Optional embedded services, such as a video player. Off unless you allow it.
- Analytics. How the site is used — which pages people read, which ones they leave, whether a guide leads anywhere. Off unless you allow it.
- Advertising. Whether an advert or a shared link actually led to a download. Off unless you allow it.
What we actually use
| What | Category | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Theme preference | Necessary | One local-storage entry remembering light or dark. Never sent to us. |
| Consent choice | Necessary | One local-storage entry remembering what you chose here, so we stop asking. |
| Web editor sign-in | Necessary | One local-storage entry keeping you signed in to the web editor. Removed when you sign out. |
| Web editor allowance | Necessary | One local-storage entry holding a random ID, sent with each edit so the three free edits a month are counted per browser as well as per account. Not a fingerprint and not used for anything else. |
| Google Analytics | Analytics | Which pages are visited, roughly where from, and on what device. IP addresses are anonymised. |
| Google Tag Manager | Analytics | Loads the measurement tags above. It sets nothing by itself. |
| Click (our own link tracker) | Analytics | Records that a page was viewed, and a first-party visitor id so several page views can be recognised as one visit. Self-hosted by us. |
| Campaign token | Analytics | If you arrived through one of our own tracked links, the link's id, so we can tell which of our posts or videos is worth continuing. It identifies the link, not you. |
| Meta pixel | Advertising | Measures whether an advert led to a download. Only present if advertising is enabled and you have allowed it. |
We do not sell any of this, and we do not share it with anyone for their own marketing.
The browser editor
CratePrep is a browser-based editor. The website uses browser storage for settings, cookie choices, sign-in state, and the free-edit allowance. When you create an edit, the audio track you select is sent to our server for processing. See the privacy policy for details.
Changing your mind
Use the link, which is also in the footer of every page. Your choice takes effect immediately, and turning a category off stops the relevant tags from loading on the next page you visit.
You can also clear the site's data in your browser, which removes everything listed above and means we will ask again on your next visit.
