Cookie Policy

Last updated: February 23, 2026

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser when you visit. It helps the site remember information about your visit.

What cookies does ReelDeck Studio use?

We use exactly one cookie:

Cookie namePurposeTypeDuration
rds_jwtKeeps you authenticated after loginStrictly Necessary30 days

Why we use this cookie

rds_jwt is a session authentication token. When you sign in, we set this cookie so that every subsequent request to our API knows who you are. Without it, you would be signed out on every page load and the application would not be usable while logged in.

The cookie is httpOnly — it cannot be read by JavaScript running in your browser — and is scoped exclusively to reeldeckstudio.com. It contains a signed JWT (JSON Web Token) that expires after 30 days.

What we do NOT use

  • Analytics or performance cookies
  • Advertising or targeting cookies
  • Third-party cookies of any kind

Can I disable it?

You can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. If you block rds_jwt, you will not be able to use ReelDeck Studio while signed in — authentication relies on this cookie.

There is no opt-out toggle because this cookie is the sole technical means by which the service authenticates you. It is not used for any other purpose.

Legal basis

GDPR / ePrivacy Directive — This cookie is strictly necessary to deliver the service you have explicitly requested. It is therefore exempt from the requirement to obtain consent under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive.

CCPA (California) — This cookie is used solely for operational purposes (authentication). It does not sell, share, or cross-context advertise your personal information, and no opt-out mechanism is required.
