Cookies Policy

Short answer: we don't use cookies. Here's the long answer.

Effective: January 2021 — Last updated: October 2026

No tracking cookies

Downl.one does not set cookies for tracking, advertising, or analytics of any kind, and using the site sets no Downl.one cookies at all. There are no third-party ad networks, no analytics scripts, and no tracking pixels anywhere on the site.

Two exceptions, both strictly necessary: the admin area (for the people who run the site) uses a sign-in session cookie, and Cloudflare, which delivers and protects the site, may set its own short-lived security cookies if it needs to check that a visitor isn't an automated attack. See the privacy policy for more on Cloudflare.

What we actually store

The only thing the site itself stores in your browser is localStorage — distinct from a cookie, and never sent to our servers automatically. We use it for:

Theme preference Remembers whether you chose light or dark mode.
Playlist mode Remembers whether playlist mode was toggled on last time you visited.
Format preference Remembers the last quality/format you picked, to highlight it next time. Never leaves your device.

All of it stays entirely on your device and can be cleared at any time via your browser's site data settings.

Consent management

We don't show a cookie consent banner because there is nothing here that legally requires one — the only cookies are the strictly necessary ones above, and there are no non-essential cookies to ask permission for.
