Cookie Policy

Pulsers takes a minimalist approach: we use no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies and no third-party trackers. There is therefore no advertising consent banner, because there is nothing to consent to on that front.

The session cookie

The session cookie is strictly necessary for the site to work. It keeps you logged in during your visit and secures forms. This cookie is exempt from consent because it is essential to the service you request.

Two preference cookies

Two other cookies remember a choice you made, and nothing else. They are used for no tracking and are set only when you make that choice: pulsers_theme keeps the theme chosen without an account, for one year; modules_view keeps the view chosen for the module list, with no end date.

Embedded videos and sounds

The About page embeds a YouTube video, in its no-cookie mode (youtube-nocookie.com). A patch with examples to listen to likewise embeds a YouTube player, without cookies, or a SoundCloud one. Opening those pages therefore contacts YouTube or SoundCloud, which receive your IP address and are governed by their own privacy policy.

Payments

When you buy credits, make a donation or a monthly support, the payment is processed on Stripe's secure pages. Stripe may set its own cookies, necessary for transaction security, on its pages. These cookies are governed by Stripe's privacy policy.

Managing cookies

You can delete or block cookies at any time through your browser settings. Blocking the session cookie may, however, prevent you from logging in and using features that require an account.
