Cookie Policy
Last updated: 6 January 2026
1. Introduction
This Cookie Policy explains how TubeMind ("we", "our", or "us") uses cookies and similar technologies when you use our website and Chrome extension (the "Service").
By using our Service, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can manage your cookie preferences as described below.
2. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners.
Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and browser extension storage, which serve similar purposes.
3. Cookies We Use
We use only strictly necessary cookies that are essential for the Service to function. We do not use any tracking, analytics, or advertising cookies.
3.1 Authentication Cookies
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| better-auth.session_token | Maintains your login session | 7 days | Essential |
3.2 Cookie Attributes
Our authentication cookies are configured with the following security attributes:
- HttpOnly: Cookies cannot be accessed by JavaScript, protecting against XSS attacks
- Secure: Cookies are only sent over HTTPS connections in production
- SameSite=None: Required for cross-origin requests between YouTube and our backend
4. Browser Extension Storage
Our Chrome extension uses browser local storage to function. This is not traditional cookie storage but serves a similar purpose. We store:

5. Third-Party Cookies
We do not set third-party cookies. However, when you use certain features, third-party services may set their own cookies:
- Stripe: When processing payments, Stripe may set cookies for fraud prevention. See Stripe's Cookie Policy.
- Google: When signing in with Google OAuth, Google may set cookies. See Google's Cookie Policy.
6. Managing Cookies
6.1 Browser Settings
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored
- Delete cookies individually or all at once
- Block cookies from specific sites
- Block all cookies
Please note that blocking essential cookies will prevent the Service from functioning properly.
6.2 Extension Storage
To clear extension storage, you can uninstall the Chrome extension or clear extension data through Chrome's settings (Settings → Extensions → TubeMind → Details → Clear data).
7. No Tracking or Analytics
We want to be transparent: we do not use any tracking cookies, analytics services, or advertising networks. We do not track your browsing behavior across other websites. The only data we collect is what's necessary to provide the Service and what you explicitly provide to us.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
