Cookie Policy

Effective October 19, 2026

viralshooter sets a few necessary cookies so the site works, and one first-party analytics cookie that helps us see how the site is used so we can improve it. We use no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking. In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland the analytics cookie stays off until you choose Accept all; elsewhere it is on until you turn it off in Cookie settings, at the bottom of every page.

1. Cookies we set

  • Session cookies (better-auth.session_token and related, prefixed __Secure- over HTTPS) — keep you signed in and protect against request forgery. Expire when you sign out or after the session lifetime.
  • Language (NEXT_LOCALE) — remembers the language you chose, so the next visit opens in it. Expires after one year.
  • Country and view (vs_country, vs_explore) — the country you picked for the boards (a year), and the period and format you chose this visit (deleted when you close the browser), so Hashtags, Categories and Countries open on them straight away.
  • Cookie choice (vs_consent) — remembers whether you allowed the analytics cookie, so we don't ask again. Expires after 13 months.
  • Analytics (vs_vid, only if allowed) — a random identifier that lets us recognise your browser on later visits, so we can count returning visitors and see which features are used. It is first-party, never shared and never used for advertising. Expires after 13 months; turning analytics off deletes it.
  • Security cookies set by Cloudflare (such as __cf_bm) — distinguish people from bots and block attacks. Expire within 30 minutes.

2. Local storage

Your browser may store small interface preferences (for example, a collapsed sidebar or the columns you picked). They never leave your device.

3. Embedded YouTube players

Video pages embed the official YouTube player. YouTube may set its own cookies when you play a video; see the Google Privacy Policy.

4. Your choices

Open Cookie settings at the bottom of any page to allow or refuse the analytics cookie at any time. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings; blocking the session cookie means you cannot stay signed in. Browsers that send Global Privacy Control are never given the analytics cookie.
