Cookie Policy

Cookies, localStorage and analytics

BlaTube uses necessary cookies and localStorage for guest or account sessions, admin CSRF protection, language, theme, profile data, rooms, chat and playback synchronization. This storage is required for stable service operation.

We also use analytics services, including Yandex Metrika, Webvisor, clickmap, trackLinks, accurateTrackBounce and goals, to analyze traffic, improve the interface, detect errors and develop the product. The mc.yandex.ru/metrika/tag.js script may load immediately when the site is visited, before the cookie notice is closed.

The cookie notice has a “Got it” button and stores the dismissal in localStorage. The notice does not provide a separate analytics refusal button. The user can limit, delete or block cookies and third-party scripts in browser settings.

First-party counter without external cookies

The internal daily visitors and pageviews counter does not load external scripts and does not set separate marketing cookies. It runs on BlaTube infrastructure and stores only aggregates plus short-lived daily HMAC keys used to distinguish repeated pageviews by the same visitor during a day.

The analytics consent state may be counted only as an aggregate comparison with visitors who allowed external analytics. Rejecting optional analytics does not disable this minimal first-party operational counter.
