How we use local storage technologies to enhance your experience.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. Local Storage and IndexedDB are modern web equivalents that allow web applications to store data directly in your browser without constantly sending it back to a server.
Because TechTube operates without user accounts or centralized backend databases, we rely heavily on Local Storage and IndexedDB to remember your preferences and progress. We do not use traditional tracking cookies for advertising.
We use local storage strictly for functional purposes, including:
We use the YouTube IFrame Player API to embed videos. When you watch an embedded YouTube video on our site, YouTube may set their own cookies or utilize local storage on your device.
These third-party cookies are controlled by Google/YouTube and are governed by the Google Privacy Policy. They may use these cookies to track playback statistics, prevent fraud, and improve their service.
You can manage or clear your local storage at any time through your web browser's settings. Please note that clearing your local storage will delete your TechTube watch history, roadmap progress, and UI preferences, effectively resetting the application to its default state.
