What we record

When you use the download gate we record which steps you complete, the beat you were viewing, your language, your country (provided by Cloudflare), the website you came from, and a random visitor ID stored in a cookie. We also store a one-way hash of your IP address. We never store the IP address itself.

Facebook step

We cannot check whether you followed our Facebook page. We only record that you said you did.

YouTube step

We cannot check whether you subscribed to our YouTube channel. We only record that you said you did. We never ask you to sign in with Google.

Cookies

We use three first-party cookies: a random visitor ID (tsc_vid), a signed unlock cookie that lets you download without repeating the steps (tsc_unlock, up to 180 days) and your language choice (tsc_lang). We use no advertising or third-party tracking cookies for this feature.

Downloads and retention

We count downloads per beat and file to understand what is popular and to limit abuse. Raw event records are deleted after 24 months; only anonymous daily totals are kept.
