Privacy

Tastarium is made by Pixygon. This page describes what we collect and why, in plain language.

Your account and your library

If you create an account you use a Pixygon account (email address, username, password). The media you add — titles, statuses, ratings, notes, lists — is stored on Pixygon's servers so it syncs across your devices. It is yours: lists and profiles are private unless you explicitly make them public.

Payments for Pixygon+ are handled by Stripe. We never see or store your card details.

Measurement before you answer the cookie banner

Until you answer the cookie banner, Tastarium runs a deliberately minimal, anonymous measurement so we can see how many people use the site at all. It is cookie-free. Specifically, it:

  • stores nothing on your device — no cookies, no localStorage, no sessionStorage;
  • uses no persistent identifier. A random session id exists only in memory for the current page load and is thrown away when you leave — it cannot be used to recognise you on a later visit or on any other site;
  • records no user id, no device fingerprint, no advertising id, and no campaign (UTM) parameters;
  • records the page path you are on and, if you arrived from a link, only the host name of the referring site — never the full referring address;
  • counts product milestones and funnel steps as anonymous totals — things like signing up, adding your first title, moving through onboarding, tapping a signup or share button, starting a Pixygon+ subscription — with nothing attached that identifies you.

That is the whole of it: page views and counters, aggregated. Because nothing is written to or read from your device and no personal data is processed, this needs no consent — but you can still switch it off by choosing “Only necessary” on the banner.

If you accept cookies

Accepting enables our full analytics: a session identifier stored in your browser so visits can be stitched into sessions, page timings and performance data, clicks and outbound links, error reports, campaign parameters, and — if you are signed in — your user id, so we can tell returning users from new ones. The anonymous basic measurement above stops the moment full analytics starts; the two never run together.

Analytics data is processed by Pixygon on our own servers. We do not sell it, and Tastarium carries no third-party advertising or ad trackers.

If you decline

Choosing “Only necessary” turns off both full analytics and the anonymous basic measurement. Tastarium then sends no measurement events of any kind. We remember that choice in your browser's local storage — that single value is the only thing stored.

Change your mind

Your current choice: not answered — anonymous, cookie-free measurement only.
