Cookies Policy
TubePins uses a small number of cookies that are necessary for security, session continuity, and privacy preference handling. We do not use these cookies to identify you personally across external websites.
1. Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are required for core service behavior and security controls. Without them, key features such as moderation login, abuse protection, and one-device voting limits may not work correctly.
- tp_device – remembers an anonymized device identifier used for anti-abuse limits (e.g. one vote per device in a defined period).
- tp_admin – stores authenticated moderator/admin session state.
- tp_cookie_consent – stores your consent preference for optional cookies/features.
2. Security and anti-abuse processing
For public forms and high-risk actions, TubePins may process device, browser, and request metadata to protect against spam, bots, and abusive behavior. This includes rate-limiting and challenge-based verification where enabled.
3. Cookie lifetime
Cookie retention depends on purpose. Some cookies are short-lived session cookies, while others persist longer to keep abuse controls effective. Exact retention may change when security policies are updated.
4. Managing cookies
You can review or update consent choices via the “Cookie settings” action in the site footer. You can also remove cookies in your browser settings; note that removing strictly necessary cookies may impact site functionality.
