Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to the site owners.
How We Use Cookies
PlayQueue uses cookies for the following purposes:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly:
- Authentication cookie - Keeps you logged in and maintains your session while you use the service
- Security cookie - Set for a few minutes only while you sign in with Google, to protect the sign-in against cross-site request forgery
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember your preferences:
- Cookie consent - Remember your cookie preferences
Some settings, like light or dark mode and your sort order, are kept in your browser’s local storage instead of a cookie. To make PlayQueue work offline, a copy of your library is cached there too. It stays on your device and is never shared with anyone.
Analytics (Optional)
We use Umami, a privacy-friendly analytics tool that we host ourselves on our own server in Germany. It doesn’t use cookies, doesn’t follow you across other sites, and only gives us aggregate numbers like page views. This helps us improve the service. If you choose "Essential Only" in the cookie banner, we don’t load it at all.
Third-Party Cookies
We don’t set any third-party cookies on playqueue.xyz. Sign-in runs on our own server, not through an outside provider. If you choose to sign in with Google, or buy PlayQueue Pro through our payment provider Lemon Squeezy, those services may set their own cookies on their own sites, under their own policies.
Managing Cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. However, if you disable essential cookies, some parts of the website may not function properly.
To manage cookies in your browser:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
