Last Updated: January 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Qcut ("we", "us", or "our"), owned and operated by Edit on the Spot, uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use qcut.app (the "Website") and our browser-based video editing platform (the "Service").

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile phone) when you visit a website. Cookies allow websites to function properly, remember preferences, and collect information about how the site is used.

We may also use similar technologies such as local storage, session storage, and browser memory. For simplicity, all such technologies are referred to as "cookies" in this policy.

2. Our Approach to Cookies

Qcut is designed with privacy by default.

• We do not use advertising cookies.
• We do not use cross-site tracking.
• We do not sell or share cookie data with advertisers.

Our use of cookies is limited to what is necessary to operate, secure, and improve the Service.

3. Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website and Service to function correctly. They enable core features such as:

• Maintaining your editing session while the browser is open
• Ensuring platform stability and security
• Remembering temporary preferences during a session

Without these cookies, the Service may not function as intended.

3.2 Functional Storage (Session / Local Storage)

Qcut uses browser session storage or local storage to:

• Temporarily remember editing progress
• Support real-time video editing workflows
• Prevent data loss during an active session

This data:

• Is stored locally in your browser
• Is automatically deleted when your session ends or the browser is closed
• Does not personally identify you

3.3 Optional Analytics Cookies

Qcut may use limited, privacy-friendly analytics tools to understand how the Service is used and to improve performance.

Analytics data may include:

• Feature usage
• Session duration
• Error reports
• Load times

All analytics data is:

• Aggregated
• Anonymised
• Non-identifiable

You may disable analytics collection through your browser or device settings without affecting your ability to use Qcut.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Qcut does not place third-party advertising cookies.

If third-party services are integrated in the future (such as analytics or cloud services), they will be selected based on strong privacy standards and documented in this policy.

We encourage you to review the cookie policies of any third-party websites you access via links on our Website.

5. Cookie Duration

• Session cookies and session storage are deleted when you close your browser.
• Any limited analytics cookies (if enabled) are retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil their purpose.

We do not use long-term tracking cookies.

6. Managing Cookies

You can control or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:

• View what cookies are stored
• Block cookies entirely
• Delete cookies on exit

Please note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may affect the functionality of the Service.

7. International Users
