This page explains which cookies and browser storage HookClips (hookclips.tech) uses, what they do, and how to control them.
In short: we only use cookies needed to keep you signed in and to remember settings you choose. We use no advertising or tracking cookies, no third-party analytics, and we don’t sell your data.
What a cookie is
A cookie is a small file a website stores in your browser to remember something between visits, such as the fact that you’re signed in.
HookClips cookies
| Name | What it does | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| hc | Keeps you signed in. It’s signed and protected: the page can’t read it and nobody can change it. | 60 days (1 day if you untick “Remember me”). Deleted when you sign out. | Essential |
| hc_ses | A data-free flag that a session is open, so the home page can show your account. | Same as the session | Essential |
| hc_oauth | Protects “Sign in with Microsoft” so nobody can hijack it. | 15 minutes | Essential |
| hc_ref | Remembers the invite code if you arrived through a friend’s or an affiliate creator’s link, so they get their discount or commission. | 30 days | Functional |
Data stored in your browser
Besides cookies, the site keeps a few settings in your own browser (local storage). They never leave your device and aren’t used to track you:
- hc_lang: the language you chose (English or Spanish).
- hc_margen: whether you turned on the margin guides in the clip editor.
- hc_url and hc_busca: the link and search you pasted on the home page, so they’re not lost while you sign in. Cleared when you close the tab.
- hc_intro: remembers you’ve seen the welcome animation. Cleared when you close the tab.
- hc_dev: a random number for this browser so the free video stays 1 per person even if you switch Wi-Fi. It doesn’t say who you are, isn’t used for ads or tracking, and is required for the Free plan. It stays until you clear this site’s data.
- hc_cookies: your choice in the cookie notice.
- hc_sid: a random number for the tab, used to count how many people are on the site right now. It doesn’t say who you are and is cleared when you close the tab.
Third-party cookies
Some services we use may set their own cookies under their own policies:
- Cloudflare protects the site against attacks and shows the “I’m not a robot” checkbox. It may use security cookies such as
__cf_bmorcf_clearance. Cloudflare’s policy. - Google, when you use “Sign in with Google”. Google’s policy.
- Microsoft and Apple, only on their own pages if you choose to sign in with them.
- PayPal and Lemon Squeezy, when you pay for a plan. PayPal’s policy.
- DMCA.com, which shows the copyright protection badge on the Spanish home page.
How to control them
You can view, delete or block cookies in your browser settings (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge…). If you block the hc cookie you won’t be able to sign in, because it keeps your session. Blocking the others doesn’t stop you from using HookClips.
The first time you visit, we show a notice so you can choose: Accept or Only necessary. If you choose “Only necessary”, we don’t store the optional hc_ref cookie (the invite code) and we delete any existing one. Your choice is saved in your browser (hc_cookies); to change it, clear this site’s data in your browser and the notice will show again. We use no advertising or tracking cookies; if we ever add them, we’ll ask for your consent first and update this page.
