Cookies

What we set

• Member session cookie (essential): set when you use account, signup, sign-in, or password-recovery features. It keeps forms secure and, after sign-in, lets the player and account page know it is you. It expires when you close your browser and contains only a random session identifier.
• Visualizer preference: the Premium player stores whether you hid the visualizer in your browser's local storage (philoVizOff). It is not sent with every web request and you can clear it in browser settings.

Our first-party aggregate counter does not set a cookie or identify individual visitors. We do not set advertising or analytics cookies. The member cookie is strictly necessary for account and form security, so there is no cookie consent banner for it.

What third parties set

Stripe.js loads when a returning card member must complete payment authentication and may use Stripe storage for fraud prevention. Checkout otherwise happens on Stripe's or PayPal's own pages, where their cookie policies apply. Playing the ad-supported free channel connects to Live365, which may use cookies or similar technology under its own policy.

Managing cookies

You can clear or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking the session cookie means you can't stay signed in, but the free stream still plays.
