This Cookie Policy explains how YouTube Guru uses cookies and similar technologies (such as browser local storage) to operate, secure, and improve the Service. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They let a site remember your actions and preferences over time. We also use local storage, a similar browser technology, for example to remember your cookie choice and theme.
Categories we use
1. Strictly necessary (always on)
Required for the site to function — you cannot turn these off. Examples: Supabase authentication/session cookies that keep you logged in, and security cookies that protect against abuse.
2. Preferences
Remember choices you make, such as your light/dark theme, dashboard sidebar state, and your cookie-consent selection. These improve your experience but are not strictly required.
3. Analytics (consent-based)
With your consent, we use privacy-respecting, aggregated analytics to understand how the Service is used (e.g. which pages are popular) so we can improve it. These are only set if you click "Accept all" in the cookie banner, and never if you choose "Essential only".
Cookies at a glance
| Name | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| sb-* (Supabase) | Necessary | Keeps you authenticated |
| yg-cookie-consent | Preferences | Stores your cookie choice |
| theme | Preferences | Remembers light/dark mode |
| _analytics* | Analytics | Aggregated usage metrics (consent only) |
Managing your choices
- Use the cookie banner shown on your first visit to accept all or essential-only cookies.
- To change your choice later, clear this site's storage in your browser and reload — the banner will reappear.
- You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, though strictly-necessary cookies are required to stay logged in.
