Downloader: zero cookies
Resolving a link and preparing an episode sets no cookie of any kind. There is no session to keep and no preference to remember.
Cookie Policy
The downloader sets no cookies at all. Advertising does, and this page names every cookie involved, what it is for, and how to refuse it.
Effective date: October 24, 2026
Ads: Google cookies
Once advertising is live, Google may set advertising and measurement cookies, and only after consent where the law requires it.
You control it
Refuse in the consent message, switch off personalised ads in Google Ads Settings, or block cookies in your browser. The downloader keeps working.
1. What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file a site asks your browser to store and send back on later requests. Related technologies — local storage, session storage, pixels, and device identifiers — do similar jobs and are covered by the same rules and by this page.
Cookies are not files from your device and cannot read your documents. They only carry what the site that set them chooses to put in them.
2. What this site sets today
For the download tool itself: nothing. There is no login, so there is no session cookie. Language is chosen by the URL you visit, not stored in a preference cookie. The download queue lives in the current tab's memory and disappears when you close it.
The only browser storage involved in downloading is the file-system handle your browser keeps so an episode can be written straight to the folder you picked. That is handled by your browser, stays on your device, and is never sent to us.
Cookies set by this site
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
None | This site | The downloader keeps its state in the page, not in a cookie. Rate limiting is done server-side on the IP address and sets no browser storage. | — |
Strictly necessary cookies would be exempt from consent, but this site does not need any, so the honest answer is that there are none to declare.
Advertising cookies (Google AdSense)
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Expires |
|---|---|---|---|
test_cookie | A short-lived check that asks whether the browser accepts cookies at all. It carries no identifier for you. | 15 minutes | |
IDE | The main advertising cookie on Google's DoubleClick domain. It records what ad was shown to a browser and helps limit how often the same ad repeats. | up to 13 months | |
__gads | Set on this domain so Google can read its own ad cookies here. Used for frequency capping and measuring ad performance. | up to 13 months | |
__gpi | Records that a user ID was collected, so that ads are not repeatedly served to the same browser across Google's ad products. | up to 13 months | |
__eoi | Stores the advertising event and consent state so Google can keep applying the choice you made in the consent message. | up to 13 months |
These cookies are only set where advertising is enabled and, in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland, only after consent. They are third-party cookies: they are set by Google's domains, not by this one, and Google's own policies govern what it does with them.
4. Consent, and how to say no
If you are in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, advertising cookies that are not strictly necessary are only set after you agree in the consent message shown on your first visit. Declining is a real option: the site and the downloader keep working, and you still see ads, just not personalised ones. You can reopen the message and change or withdraw your choice at any time.
Everywhere else you can still opt out of personalised advertising through Google Ads Settings at https://adssettings.google.com, opt out of third-party vendor cookies at https://www.aboutads.info/choices, or use the European industry portal at https://www.youronlinechoices.eu.
Browser controls work too: all major browsers let you block third-party cookies, block all cookies, or clear them after each session. Blocking ad cookies does not break the downloader.
5. Why there is no cookie wall
The downloader is free and stays usable whether or not you accept advertising cookies. Nothing on this site is gated behind a consent choice, and no feature is withheld from visitors who decline.
This is also why there is no subscription, no account, and no paywall: the ad revenue covers hosting, and access to the tool does not depend on how you answer the consent message.
6. Changes to this policy
If an analytics tool, a different ad network, or a new consent platform is added, the tables above will be updated before that tool is switched on, and the effective date below will change.
The handling of the data these cookies collect is described in the Privacy Policy, which also explains how to make an access or deletion request.
See also the Privacy Policy for what happens to the links you paste, and the Disclaimer for what this tool will and will not download.
