Cookie Policy
Last updated 1 September 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how WVLand uses cookies, local storage, and similar technologies when you visit the site, play music, or sign in. It should be read with the Policy of Use.
1. Overview
A cookie is a small file a site can store in your browser. Similar tools include local storage, session storage, and pixels. Most of what WVLand persists for you lives in local storage on your device, not in first-party HTTP cookies. We still describe that storage here because it works like a cookie for privacy purposes: it stays on your device and can identify a session.
We do not run advertising networks or sell lists of listeners to advertisers.
2. What we use
Depending on how you use WVLand, your browser may store:
| Name / area | Where | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Auth session | Local storage | Keep you signed in (access and refresh tokens) so playlists and uploads work. |
| Player | Local storage | Remember the current track, queue, repeat mode, and playback position if you reload or come back later. |
| Theme | Local storage | Remember appearance preference when a theme control is used. |
| Captcha (ARCaptcha) | Third-party / ARCaptcha | Prove you are human on register, login, and password reset. ARCaptcha may set its own cookies or similar identifiers. |
3. Essential storage
Session, player, and theme storage are strictly necessary for the features you asked for. Without them, sign-in would not survive a refresh, and the player would forget what you were playing. We do not use this data to build advertising profiles.
Guest listening does not require an account. If you never sign in, we still may store player state locally so playback can resume on this device.
4. Third parties
ARCaptcha runs on account and password forms when captcha is enabled. ARCaptcha’s processing is governed by ARCaptcha’s own notices. We receive a one-time verification token, not your browsing history.
Continue with Google loads Google Identity Services or sends you to Google’s sign-in page. Google may set its own cookies on that flow. Google’s processing is governed by Google’s notices. We receive your email (and a Google account id) so we can create or sign in to your WVLand account — not your Google password.
Audio streams and API calls go to WVLand’s backend. Your browser will send normal technical data (IP address, user agent) as with any website. Donation or payment buttons, if present, are handled by the processor shown at checkout — not by extra WVLand tracking cookies on this page.
If we later add analytics or embedded media that set cookies, we will update this Policy and, where required, ask before non-essential cookies run.
5. Your choices
You can:
- Use the site as a guest without creating an account
- Sign out, which clears the stored session on this browser
- Clear this site’s data in your browser settings (cookies and local storage) — you will be signed out and player memory will reset
- Block third-party cookies in your browser; captcha or Google sign-in may then fail, and you may be unable to register or log in
- Use a browser’s tracking-protection or “do not track” features; we do not override those settings with extra trackers
There is no separate cookie banner because we do not currently set optional advertising cookies. Clearing storage is the control for local data.
6. How long it stays
Local storage stays until you clear it, sign out (session), or we change the product so that a key is removed. Player snapshots are overwritten as you listen. Auth tokens expire on the server even if a copy remains on the device; expired tokens cannot keep you signed in.
7. Updates
We may update this Cookie Policy when we add storage, change providers, or the law requires it. The “Last updated” date will change. See also the Privacy Policy and Policy of Use.
