This Cookie Policy explains how MyTape.live (“MyTape”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies to operate, secure, and improve your experience on our platform.

It should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, store, and protect your personal information.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website.

They allow a site to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and help improve functionality, security, and user experience.

Cookies do not contain personal information such as your name or email unless you voluntarily provide it during registration or other interactions.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

At MyTape, we value privacy and transparency.

We use only the minimum number of cookies necessary to make our platform functional, secure, and pleasant to use.

We categorize our cookies as follows:

2.1. Essential (Strictly Necessary) Cookies

These cookies are required for the website to function properly.

They enable basic features such as account login, security validation, and access to private sections of the platform.

Examples include:

  1. Session management cookies (to keep you logged in).
  2. Security and CSRF protection tokens.
  3. Load balancing and server performance cookies.

Without these cookies, certain parts of MyTape may not function as intended.

2.2. Functional Cookies

Functional cookies allow the site to remember your preferences and settings, providing a personalized experience.

Examples include:

  1. Language and interface preferences.
  2. Dark or light mode theme settings.
  3. Saved filters or layout options within Market or Work sections.

These cookies enhance usability without collecting personal identifiers.

2.3. Performance & Analytics Cookies (Optional)

To better understand how our users interact with MyTape, we may use privacy-friendly analytics tools (such as Matomo or a self-hosted system).

These cookies help us:

  1. Analyze website performance and fix errors.
  2. Understand which sections are most useful.
  3. Improve navigation, speed, and functionality.

Important: Analytics cookies used on MyTape never track individuals, share data with advertisers, or connect to external profiling systems (e.g., Google Analytics, Meta Pixel).

You can choose to opt out of analytics cookies at any time.

2.4. Marketing or Tracking Cookies

We do not use marketing, advertising, or behavioral tracking cookies.

MyTape does not show targeted ads, does not sell data, and does not use retargeting technologies.

Your activity on MyTape remains private and isolated from external ad networks.

3. Local Storage & Similar Technologies

Besides cookies, MyTape may use local storage or session storage in your browser to save interface preferences, cached content, or offline settings.

These technologies work similarly to cookies but store data locally on your device, not on our servers.

All local storage data can be cleared manually from your browser settings.

4. Managing Cookies

You can control or delete cookies at any time using your browser settings.

Here’s how to manage cookies in major browsers:

  1. Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
  2. Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
  3. Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
  4. Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Please note that disabling essential cookies may affect the functionality of your MyTape account and certain features (such as login sessions, saved preferences, or upload operations).

5. Third-Party Cookies

We strive to minimize third-party dependencies.

However, in limited cases, cookies may be set by external providers used to enhance functionality, such as:

  1. Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) for faster image/video delivery.
  2. Authentication or OAuth services for secure logins (e.g., if you log in via IuVe account).
  3. Embedded media players (e.g., audio/video previews).

All third-party cookies are used strictly for functional or security purposes, never for advertising or behavioral profiling.

6. Consent

When you first visit MyTape.live, you are informed about our use of cookies through a banner or consent dialog.

You can accept all cookies, reject optional ones, or customize your preferences.

Your consent is stored for record-keeping and can be withdrawn at any time from your account’s Privacy Settings.

7. Data Security and Privacy

All cookies and related data stored by MyTape are protected using secure encryption and served exclusively via HTTPS.

We never use cookies to store sensitive personal information (such as passwords or financial data).

Our infrastructure is built to comply with GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, and other global privacy standards.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may occasionally update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our operational practices.

When updates occur, the “Last updated” date at the top will change.

In case of significant changes, we will notify you directly through email or in-app alerts.

Summary

At MyTape, cookies are used only to make the platform work — not to watch you.

We don’t track, profile, or sell user data.

Our philosophy is simple: privacy by design, transparency by default.
