Cookie Policy
Last updated: September 28, 2026
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them as described below, and you choose which categories to allow when you first visit the site.
Essential cookies (always on)
Required for the site to function — they can't be switched off.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| samarvel_session | Keeps you signed in and remembers your session | Session |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Protects forms against cross-site request forgery | Session |
| cookie_consent | Remembers your cookie choice, stored in your browser only | 1 year |
| chanting-settings | Remembers your Chanting page choices (repetitions, pause and drone), stored in your browser only | Until cleared |
Analytics cookies (optional)
If you accept these, we use them to understand aggregate usage — which pages and songs are visited, and how people navigate the site — so we can improve it. These are only set after you click "Accept all" in the cookie banner.
Sign-in cookies
If you sign in with Google, Google sets its own cookies during the sign-in process, governed by Google's Cookie Policy.
Changing your choice
Clear your cookie_consent browser storage, or use your browser's site settings to reset this site's data, to see the cookie banner again and choose differently. Blocking essential cookies through your browser may stop parts of the site — such as sign-in and favourites — from working.
For how we use any personal data collected, see our Privacy Policy.
