Cookie Policy

This page explains the cookies and similar storage technologies Skeet uses, what they do, and how you can control them.

01.What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. We also use related technologies including localStorage, sessionStorage, and (for the editor’s offline media cache) IndexedDB and the Origin Private File System. For brevity we refer to all of these as “cookies” throughout this page.

02.Why we use cookies

We use cookies for a small number of clearly necessary purposes. We do not use third-party advertising or retargeting cookies, and we do not embed social-network trackers.

  • Authentication. A session cookie issued by BetterAuth keeps you signed in across Skeet’s subdomains. Without it you would need to log in on every page load.
  • Security. Cookies are used for CSRF protection and to rate-limit suspicious traffic.
  • Preferences. Editor layout, panel widths, recently-opened projects, and theme preference are stored in localStorage so the workspace looks the same when you come back.
  • Local media cache. The editor caches decoded video frames and proxy assets in IndexedDB / OPFS so playback stays smooth without re-downloading.
  • Aggregate analytics. A first-party analytics cookie records pseudonymous, aggregated information about which features are used. It does not include your name, email, or media content.

03.Specific cookies we set

NamePurposeDuration
skeet.session_tokenKeeps you signed in across .skeet.now subdomains.30 days (rolling)
skeet.csrf_tokenCSRF protection on auth endpoints.Session
skeet.prefsUI preferences (localStorage).Until you clear browser storage
skeet.media.cacheDecoded media cache for playback (IndexedDB / OPFS).Until you clear it or storage pressure evicts it

04.Controlling cookies

You can clear cookies and local storage at any time from your browser settings. Doing so will sign you out and reset your preferences and offline media cache. You can also block cookies at the browser level, but this will prevent Skeet from working (the session cookie is required to identify you).

We currently do not respond to the “Do Not Track” browser signal because Skeet does not engage in cross-site tracking and there is no industry-standard interpretation of the signal we are confident in honouring.

05.Changes to this policy

If we change the cookies we use we will update this page and the “Last updated” date. For material changes we will also notify you in-product.
