Cookie Policy

{{ globals.whole_cookie }} may use cookies. This page describe how and why we use cookies.


What are cookies? -or- How to disable cookies?

Simply put, a cookie is a technology for remembering something about you.
If you want to learn more about cookies, as well as how to control and disable them, check out Cookies & You website.

Will blocking cookies inhibit my usage of this site?

The short answer is, no.
As will be explained in more details in Cookies We May Use section, the site's operations strictly depend on your browser's Local Storage feature.
But our server-side general analytics system makes use of cookies, which means that if you simply wish to opt-out of our analytics, you are free to simply block cookies from us.
The site will still remain fully operational regardless.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below.
Unfortunately in most cases there are no industry standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and features they add to this site.
It is recommended that you leave on all cookies if you are not sure whether you need them or not in case they are used to provide a service that you use.

Account related cookies

If you create an account with us, then we will use cookies for the management of the signup process and general administration.

Login related cookies

We use cookies when you are logged in so that we can remember that you are logged in.
This prevents you from having to log in every single time you visit a new page.
These cookies are typically removed or cleared when you log out to ensure that you can only access restricted features and areas when logged in.

What information do we know about you?

We don’t request or require you to provide personal information to access our website.
However, we may receive your IP address and user agent automatically.

What about cookies?

{{ globals.whole_cookie }} may place cookies on your browser in order to identify you when you return to our website.

Cookies We May Use

{# Note to system admins who fork this project: "cid" is a cookie name we use for our server-side general analytics system at fiery.me, and is not something that was baked into this project. If you do not have other systems that will add other cookies, this project will run cookies-less, as designed. #} We may use the following cookies:

Name Source Purpose Storage Days
cid {{ globals.root_domain }} Analytics 730
cookieconsent_status {{ globals.root_domain }} Analytics 730
Those keys will be set on first page load regardless of your consent, but they are safe to manually block via a third-party utility, if you wish to opt-out.

We may use the following Local Storage keys:

Name Source Purpose
chunkSize {{ globals.root_domain }} Personalization
fileLength {{ globals.root_domain }} Personalization
newsfeed {{ globals.root_domain }} Necessary

uploadAge {{ globals.root_domain }} Personalization

Those keys will be set as you use features of our website.
Personalization keys in particular are designed to clear themselves whenever you set them to their default values.
