At TubExperto, we use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Keep your session active

Types of Cookies We Use
1. Essential Cookies (Necessary)
These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. Without them, some services cannot be provided.
Examples:
- session_id: Keeps your session active while browsing

3. Analytics Cookies
We use Plausible, an analytics tool self-hosted on our own servers. It sets no cookie on your browser and collects no personally identifiable data: it counts visits in aggregate and anonymously. That's why this analytics always runs, without asking for consent, whether you accept or reject cookies in the banner.
Cookies installed: none
Purpose: aggregate usage statistics, service improvement
Provider: Plausible (self-hosted by TubExperto)
We do not use Google Analytics or any other cookie-based analytics tool.
4. Marketing Cookies (consent-based only)
We use the Meta Pixel and Google Ads conversion tracking to measure whether the ads we run on Facebook, Instagram, Google Search, or the Google Display Network lead to sign-ups and purchases on TubExperto. These scripts NEVER load by default: they only activate if you choose "Accept all" or check "Marketing" in the cookie banner, and only in our production environment.
Meta Pixel (Facebook/Instagram)
- _fbp: identifies your browser to match a visit with a conversion
Duration: 90 days
Controller: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.
What it sends: page views, completed registration, creation of your first expert, checkout started, and confirmed purchase (with the real amount and currency from Stripe)
International transfers: Meta may transfer this data outside the EU under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework
More information: Meta's cookie policy
Google Ads (Search and Display)
- _gcl_au: matches a click on a Google ad with a later conversion
Duration: 90 days
Controller: Google Ireland Ltd.
What it sends: completed registration, creation of your first expert, and confirmed purchase, whenever those conversion actions are configured
More information: Google's cookie policy
cl_attr (our own attribution cookie)
- cl_attr: records which ad, campaign or link you arrived from (the URL's UTM parameters, the Meta or Google click identifier and the referring site), so a sign-up or a purchase can be attributed to the right campaign
Duration: 90 days
Who sets it:TubExperto. It is a first-party cookie, not a third party's: it is written from our own domain and its contents never leave our servers.
When it is set: only if you accept marketing cookies. If you decline them, or dismiss the banner without accepting, it is not written.
What it stores: source, medium, campaign, content and term of your first and last visit, the ad click identifier, the landing page, the referring site and a visit count. Nothing that identifies you directly.
5. Third-Party Cookies (functional)
Set by external services required for specific platform features.
Third-party services:
- YouTube: when you play an embedded video on a chapter page, YouTube (Google) may set its own cookies
- Stripe: at checkout we redirect you to Stripe's hosted payment page; cookies on that page are managed by Stripe, not by us
These cookies are subject to the privacy policies of their respective providers. This site's typefaces are served from our own servers (not from Google Fonts), so they generate no cookie or third-party request.
