Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to site operators. Cookies can be "first-party" (set by the website you're visiting) or "third-party" (set by external services embedded in the website).

2. Cookies metapeel Uses

metapeel is designed with minimal data collection in mind. The following cookies are used:

2.1 Theme Preference

metapeel stores your theme preference (light, dark, or system) so the site loads with your chosen appearance on subsequent visits. This is a first-party, persistent cookie.

• Name: theme / next-themes
• Purpose: Remember your light/dark mode preference
• Duration: Persistent (until cleared)
• Type: First-party, essential

2.2 No Tracking Cookies

metapeel does not use cookies for:

• User tracking or profiling
• Advertising or remarketing
• Social media integration
• Cross-site tracking
• Analytics that identify individual users

3. Local Storage

In addition to cookies, metapeel may use your browser's Local Storage to store:

• Theme preference — as a fallback for cookie-free theme persistence

All local storage data is specific to your browser and device. It is never transmitted to any server. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.

4. Third-Party Services

4.1 Content Delivery

metapeel may be delivered via a CDN (Content Delivery Network). The CDN provider may set technical cookies necessary for caching and delivering the website. These are standard operational cookies and are not used for tracking purposes.

4.2 WebAssembly (FFmpeg)

Audio and video metadata removal uses FFmpeg compiled to WebAssembly, which is loaded from a public CDN (unpkg.com). This process does not involve cookies. No file data is sent to the CDN.

4.3 No Third-Party Tracking

metapeel does not embed Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other third-party tracking service. No third-party cookies are set through this website.

5. Managing Cookies

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings:

• Block all cookies — metapeel will still function, but theme preference won't be saved
• Delete existing cookies — via your browser's privacy settings
• Block third-party cookies — recommended; metapeel doesn't use them anyway

Please note that blocking all cookies may affect your browsing experience on other websites. Since metapeel uses minimal cookies, allowing first-party cookies is recommended.

6. Updates to This Policy

This Cookie Policy may be updated from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or this tool's practices. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. You are encouraged to review this policy periodically.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access information about the cookies metapeel uses
• Withdraw consent for non-essential cookies
• Request deletion of stored cookie data
• Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Since only essential cookies are used and users are not tracked, most regulatory requirements are automatically met. For any requests, contact me at [email protected].
