The short version
Cookies are small files a site saves in your browser. Hiyaly only uses cookies it needs to work: none for advertising, and none that follow you around other sites. Because they're all needed for the site to work, we don't ask you to accept them, and there's no cookie banner.
Our visit stats don't use cookies at all. How they work is in our privacy policy.
The cookies we set
Every cookie here belongs to Hiyaly, and none can be read by other sites. On a secure connection, some names start with __Secure-.

Things saved in your browser
Some small preferences are kept in your browser's local storage instead of a cookie, and never sent to us: light or dark mode, the handle you typed on the homepage before signing up, your progress through setup, and a few dismissed tips in the editor. Clearing your browser's site data removes them.
Cookies added by page owners
Owners on Pro can add their own Meta Pixel or Google Analytics to their page. If a page you visit has one, Meta or Google may set their own cookies, under their own policies. The page's owner chose to add them and is responsible for asking for any consent the law requires.
Videos and other embeds on a page (from YouTube or Spotify, say) can also set cookies from those services when you play them.
Turning cookies off
You can block or delete cookies in your browser's settings. If you block Hiyaly's, you won't be able to stay signed in, and pages will ask you to unlock them or confirm links every time.
