Cookie Policy
How Unreleased Island uses cookies — and why we keep it to the bare minimum.
Last updated: March 7, 2026
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide security features, and give site owners useful information.
2. Cookies We Use
We use strictly necessary cookies only. These cookies are essential for the Service to function and cannot be switched off. They do not track you for advertising or analytics purposes.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
sessionid |
Maintains your authenticated session so you stay logged in as you navigate the site. | 2 weeks (or until logout) | Strictly Necessary |
csrftoken |
Protects against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks by validating that form submissions originate from our site. | 1 year | Strictly Necessary |
cookie_consent |
Remembers that you have acknowledged this cookie notice so it is not shown again. | 1 year | Strictly Necessary |
3. Cookies We Do Not Use
We do not use any of the following types of cookies:
- Analytics or performance cookies (e.g., Google Analytics)
- Advertising or targeting cookies
- Third-party tracking cookies
- Social media cookies
Your activity on Unreleased Island is not tracked by any third-party advertising or analytics services.
4. Third-Party Services
While we use third-party services for hosting (Heroku), file storage (AWS S3), email delivery (SendGrid), and payment processing (Buy Me a Coffee, PayPal), these services do not set cookies on your device through our site. If you visit these services directly, they may use their own cookies, subject to their own cookie policies.
5. Managing Cookies
Since we only use strictly necessary cookies, disabling them may prevent the Service from functioning correctly:
- Disabling the
sessionidcookie will prevent you from logging in. - Disabling the
csrftokencookie will prevent you from submitting forms (uploading tracks, editing your profile, etc.).
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies. For instructions, consult your browser's help documentation.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. If we begin using additional types of cookies in the future, we will update this page and notify users as appropriate. The date at the top of this page indicates when it was last updated.
