privacy policy
^
cobalt's privacy policy is simple: no data about you is collected or stored. zero, zilch, nada, nothing.
what you download is your business, not mine.
some non-backtraceable data does get temporarily stored when requested download requires live render. it's necessary for that feature to function.
in that case, salted sha256 hash of your ip address and information about requested stream are temporarily stored in server's RAM for 2 minutes. after 2 minutes all previously stored information is permanently removed. hash of your ip address is used for limiting stream access only to you.
no one (even me) has access to this data, because official cobalt codebase doesn't provide a way to read it outside of processing functions in the first place.
you can check cobalt's github repo for yourself and see that indeed nothing is stored permanently.

what's new?current version & commit
4.8: prettier than ever
this version brings many visual improvements and a completely revamped "about" tab.
what's new in "about" tab:
• all information is now split into collapsible sections, making it easier to navigate.
• added privacy policy to further prove that none of your data is collected.
• added emoji to the page title to make it look consistent with other pages.
• added mastodon account handle and link.
• there are now short notes at the end of each section.
• other changes that are too small to describe. just go check it out!
this tab is not yet finalized and i will post a poll with possible future additions on twitter and mastodon. make sure to vote and discuss!
visual improvements:
• less wasted space: paddings and margins have been reduced and optimized for usability, consistency, and overall beauty.
• all links are now in italic. it's much easier to tell them apart from regular highlights.
• error popup no longer looks broken and out of place.
• download popup now has a proper close button, not something from 2.x era.
• emoji are no longer selectable or draggable.
• better scalability: desktop layout for home screen is shown if device viewport is wide enough to fit in three action buttons.
• page shouldn't look broken on phones in landscape mode (i still highly recommend using cobalt in portrait mode).
• removed bulletpoint padding. it was unnecessary.
• updated some service names.
as always, you can suggest features or report bugs on any platform listed in the "support" section of about tab.
thank you for using cobalt. i hope you have a good day :)

support cobalthelp me keep it up
cobalt does not (and will never) serve ads or sell your data, therefore it's completely free to use. but turns out keeping up a web service used by thousands of people is somewhat costly.
if you ever found cobalt useful and want to keep it online, or simply want to thank the developer, consider chipping in! each and every cent helps and is VERY appreciated.

donation links open in a new tab. this is the best way to donate if you want me to receive your donation directly.
