Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 9, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how ClipForge ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit or use our AI Short-Form Video Generator service ("Service"). It explains what these technologies are, why we use them, and your rights to control our use of them.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to the website operators.
Cookies can be "session cookies" (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them). Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting ("first-party cookies") or by third parties who provide services to that website ("third-party cookies").
2. Types of Cookies We Use
2.1 Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to function. They enable core functionality such as security, account authentication, and session management. The Service cannot function properly without these cookies, and they cannot be disabled.
- Session cookie: Maintains your authenticated session while you use the Service
- CSRF token: Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks
- Cookie consent: Stores your cookie preference choice
2.2 Functional Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have added to our pages. If you do not allow these cookies, some or all of these features may not function properly.
- User preferences: Remembers your settings such as preferred language, theme, and display options
- Feature state: Stores the state of interactive features (such as sidebar collapse, last-used niche, and form inputs)
2.3 Analytics Cookies
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Service by collecting and reporting information. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and used to improve the performance and usability of the Service.
- Page views and navigation: Tracks which pages are visited and how users navigate through the Service
- Feature usage: Monitors which features are used most frequently to inform development priorities
- Performance metrics: Measures page load times and identifies performance bottlenecks
3. Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We do not control these third-party cookies, and their use is governed by the privacy policies of the respective third parties.
3.1 Stripe
Stripe uses cookies to process payments securely, detect and prevent fraud, and maintain PCI compliance. These cookies are essential when you interact with payment forms. For more information, see Stripe's Privacy Policy.
3.2 Google
If you sign in using Google OAuth or connect your YouTube account (Business plan), Google may set cookies to manage the authentication session and provide its services. For more information, see Google's Cookie Policy.
4. How to Manage Cookies

- View what cookies are stored on your device
- Delete individual cookies or all cookies

4.3 Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no accepted standard for how to respond to DNT signals, we do not currently respond to them. However, you can control cookies and tracking as described in this policy.
5. Updates to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
