Cookie Policy

An exact, current list of the cookies this website sets — not a generic list of cookies a typical website "might" use.

Effective date: REPLACE_WITH_LAUNCH_DATE_E.G._2026-08-05
Before you launch: this page is written to match this codebase exactly. If you add any new cookie-setting feature (analytics, an ad network, a "remember me" option, etc.), update this page — and, where required by law, your consent mechanism — before turning that feature on.

Cookies we set today

Reelhouse sets cookies in exactly one situation: when someone logs into the administrator panel. General visitors browsing, searching, or watching videos are not cookied at all.

Cookie Purpose Set for Duration
admin_session Keeps a logged-in administrator authenticated between requests to the admin panel. HttpOnly (not readable by page scripts) and Secure. Administrators only, after login 12 hours
csrf_token Paired with admin_session to prevent cross-site request forgery against the admin panel. Not used for tracking. Administrators only, after login 12 hours

Both cookies are strictly necessary — the admin panel cannot function without them — and are never used for advertising, analytics, or tracking visitors across sites.

Cookies we don't set

Why there's no cookie banner right now

Because the only cookies we set are strictly necessary and are limited to administrators using a feature they explicitly log in to use, we do not currently display a cookie-consent banner to general visitors. [VERIFY THIS IS CORRECT FOR YOUR AUDIENCE] — some laws (e.g., the EU/UK ePrivacy rules) have their own definition of what counts as "strictly necessary," and requirements can depend on your visitors' location; have an attorney confirm this reasoning holds before launch.

Advertising cookies (future)

This website does not currently display advertising. If and when we enable ExoClick or another advertising network, that network will set its own cookies for ad delivery, frequency capping, and/or measurement. [UPDATE THIS SECTION AND ADD A CONSENT MECHANISM BEFORE ENABLING ADS] — before turning on any ad network, this page must be updated to name the network(s), list or link to the specific cookies they set, and (where required by law) visitors must be given a way to accept or decline non-essential cookies before they're set.

Managing cookies in your browser

Since the only cookies here are for administrators, most visitors have nothing to manage. If you are an administrator and want to clear your session, use the "Log out" button in the admin panel, or clear cookies for this site through your browser's settings.
