Your setup stays on this device
The setup builder saves the current equipment choices, connection settings and optional amounts in this browser’s local storage. The pre-stream checklist saves checked items locally. We do not create a user account or sync the setup between devices. Clearing this site’s browser storage removes these saved values.
When you download your plan as a file, the file is made in your browser and saved to your device. It can include the choices and prices you entered. Printing sends the visible plan to your chosen print destination. Share these files only when you want to share their contents.
The webcam test asks for camera access only after you press Start camera, and for your microphone only if you press Start microphone or record a clip with it. The microphone test and the headphone test ask for the microphone only when you start them. None of them uploads video, sound, snapshots, clips, device names, device identifiers or readings. A snapshot or clip stays in the page until you remove it, start another check or leave; press Save to keep a copy on your device. Leaving the tab turns the camera and microphone off, and returning does not restart them.
Analytics and cookie choices
We use Plausible and Google Analytics to understand which pages and tools are useful. Measurement includes page visits and actions such as using a tool or following a product link.
Tool events use fixed action categories. They do not include budgets, entered prices, upload speeds, free-text device names, saved plans or contact messages.
Plausible counts every visit without cookies. It may receive browser and device information and a referring page.
Google Analytics is run by Google, which receives the page address, the actions we measure on this site and browser and device information, and sets cookies that tell repeat visits apart. Its advertising features are off.
In the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, and whenever we cannot tell which country a visit comes from, Google Analytics loads only after you choose Accept on the bar at the bottom of the page. Decline loads nothing from Google. Your choice is kept in this browser for six months, then the bar asks again.
Elsewhere, Google Analytics loads with each page unless you choose Decline. Cloudflare, which delivers our pages, tells your browser which country the visit comes from.
Wherever you are, Cookie choices at the bottom of any page, or the button below, changes your choice. Decline stops Google Analytics on this site in this browser and deletes its analytics cookies. If analytics was running, the page reloads to apply your choice. Decline holds on every page; outside the countries above it is kept until you change it.
Plausible provides aggregate reports about page visits, referring pages, time spent and scrolling. We send it the page address without its query string or fragment. Its service also receives your referring address, IP address and browser details.
Contact messages
The contact form sends your report, your reply address and any page or source you add through Cloudflare. Cloudflare Turnstile runs an automatic security check that never asks you to solve anything; it receives your browser and connection details to tell people from automated senders.
We keep each report in our contact inbox at Cloudflare for 12 months, then it is deleted automatically, and a copy goes to a private Discord channel our team reads. We use your reply address only to answer you, never for marketing. To stop floods of messages, the form counts reports from one connection or reply address for two hours, under a one-way code rather than the address itself.
To see or delete a report you sent, ask through the same form and we will delete both copies. Please do not include passwords, stream keys, payment details or private recordings.
External destinations and images
Opening a manufacturer or retailer link takes you to that provider’s site and privacy practices. Retailer links here are affiliate links: they carry a tracking code so the retailer can attribute the referral and pay us a commission. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Product photos, when available, load from Amazon’s image host and link back to that product’s Amazon page, as the programme requires. The site does not host copies of those photographs or use them in permanent social-preview art.
