This Cookie Policy explains how beatid.me uses cookies and similar browser-storage technologies, under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR). It should be read with our Privacy Policy.
1. What we use
beatid.me is deliberately light on browser storage. We do not use third-party advertising or analytics trackers — there is no Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, and no cross-site advertising cookie. Our own page-view analytics are anonymous (a per-DJ counter only — no IP, no device identifier).
| Storage | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Firebase Authentication (local storage / session) | Keeps a signed-in DJ logged in between visits | Strictly necessary |
| Checkout (Stripe-hosted page) | Stripe sets its own cookies on its hosted checkout to process payment securely | Strictly necessary (Stripe) |
2. Strictly-necessary storage
Firebase Authentication uses your browser's local storage to maintain your login session. This is essential for the service you have requested (staying logged in) and is exempt from prior consent under PECR's "strictly necessary" exemption. If you are not signed in as a DJ, no such storage is set.
3. Managing storage
You can clear or block browser storage at any time via your browser settings. Blocking the strictly-necessary Firebase Auth storage will prevent you from staying logged in as a DJ but does not affect browsing public profiles or buying music.
4. Updates
This policy is published ahead of a formal cookie audit and will be updated if that audit identifies any additional storage. The "Last updated" date above reflects the latest revision.
