Privacy

Last updated September 17, 2026

This site shows you some videos and tells you who made them. It doesn't have accounts, forms or a newsletter. What it does collect is below, along with who else sees it and how to say no.

The site is run by Galaxie Entertainment in Los Angeles. When this page says “we”, that’s who it means. Questions about any of this go to thomas@galaxieentertainment.com, and a person will answer.

The short version

We count visits in a way that doesn’t use cookies and doesn’t identify you.
We count whether videos get played and how far people watch, without knowing who watched.
The videos come from a video host, which sees ordinary request details, like your IP address, when your browser fetches them.
Meta’s advertising pixel only runs if you press Accept. If you don’t, it never loads.
We don’t sell your information.

What’s collected, and by whom

Visit counts (Cloudflare Web Analytics)

The site is hosted by Cloudflare, and we use Cloudflare Web Analytics to see how many people visit and which pages they read. It doesn’t use cookies or anything else stored on your device, and it isn’t used to follow you from site to site. What we see is totals: page views, the pages people came from, and broad details like country, browser and device type.

Like any web host, Cloudflare handles your IP address and the other details your browser sends in order to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. It may set a cookie that is strictly needed for that protection, for example to tell people from automated traffic. Cloudflare’s own handling of this is described in its privacy policy.

Video plays

On the home page and the authors page we note when a video is started, and when it reaches a quarter, half, three quarters and the end. Each note says which video and which page, and nothing else. It isn’t linked to you, to a cookie, or to any identifier, and it only tells us whether the videos are being watched.

The videos themselves (Bunny)

Videos and their preview images are stored and delivered by Bunny Stream, a service of BunnyWay d.o.o. in Slovenia. When your browser loads a preview or plays a video, Bunny’s servers receive the request, including your IP address, your browser details and the page it came from, as any server does. Bunny uses this to deliver the video and protect its network. See Bunny’s privacy policy.

Meta pixel, only if you accept

Not in use right now. The pixel hasn’t been switched on yet, so no banner appears and nothing described in this section is being sent to Meta.

We’d like to know whether our ads on Facebook and Instagram bring people to this site. Meta’s pixel does that. If you press Accept, the pixel loads and sends Meta details of your visit: the page you viewed, your IP address, your browser and device, and cookies that Meta uses to recognise your browser (_fbp, and _fbc if you arrived from an ad). If you’re logged in to Facebook or Instagram, Meta can connect the visit to your account.

Meta uses this to measure our ads and to decide who sees them, including showing ads to people who have visited the site. That makes Meta more than a service provider to us: it uses the information for its own purposes too, under Meta’s privacy policy and cookie policy. You can also manage how Meta uses your activity in your Meta ad preferences.

If you decline, or never choose, the pixel is never loaded and none of this is sent.

If you email us

If you write to us, we have your email address and whatever you send. We use it to reply and to work with you, and we don’t add you to any mailing list.

Your choice about the pixel

On your first visit, a strip at the top of the page asks whether we may use Meta’s pixel, with Accept and Decline side by side. Nothing from Meta loads until you press Accept.

We remember your answer in your browser’s local storage, under the name galaxie-consent, so we don’t ask on every page. It isn’t a cookie, it stays on your device, and it holds nothing but your answer.

To change your mind, use “Cookie choices” at the bottom of any page. If you withdraw after accepting, the pixel stops on that page, the Meta cookies on this site are removed, and it doesn’t load again. Withdrawing doesn’t undo what was already sent to Meta; for that, contact Meta or use your Meta ad preferences. Clearing your browser’s site data also resets your answer, and we’ll ask again.

Global Privacy Control. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a “no”. The pixel doesn’t load and we don’t ask.

Why we’re allowed to (for visitors in the EU and UK)

Meta pixel: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
Visit counts and video plays: our legitimate interest in knowing whether the site and its videos are being seen, using methods that don’t identify you.
Hosting, security, video and font delivery: our legitimate interest in running a working, secure site.
Email: our legitimate interest in answering you, or taking steps toward an agreement you’ve asked about.

Cloudflare and Meta are based in the United States, and your information may be processed there. Where the law requires it, those transfers rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us what we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. If you’re in the EU or UK, the GDPR also gives you the right to restrict our use of your information, to receive a copy in a usable format, to withdraw consent at any time, and to complain to your data protection authority.

In practice, most of what this site collects never identifies you, so there may be nothing we can find. Emails are the exception. Information sent to Meta through the pixel is held by Meta, and requests about it are best made to Meta directly, though we’ll help if we can.

To make a request, email thomas@galaxieentertainment.com. We’ll answer within a month, and we may need to confirm who you are first. We won’t treat you differently for asking.

California residents

California law gives you rights over your personal information. Here’s how they apply to this site.

What’s collected: identifiers (IP address, and cookie IDs if you accept the pixel); internet activity (the pages and videos you view here); approximate location worked out from your IP address; and, if you email us, your email address and what you write. We don’t collect sensitive personal information.
Where it comes from: your browser, and you if you write to us.
Why: to run and secure the site, to count visits and video plays, to reply to you, and, only if you accept, to measure and target our advertising.
Who receives it: Cloudflare and Bunny, as service providers that deliver the site. If you accept the pixel, also Meta.
Selling and sharing: we don’t sell personal information for money. Letting Meta’s pixel run counts as “sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising under California law, and that happens only if you press Accept. We don’t knowingly sell or share the information of anyone under 16.
How long we keep it: visit counts and video plays are kept as totals, not records about people. We keep emails for as long as we’re working together and a reasonable time after. What Cloudflare, Bunny and Meta keep is set by their own policies.

Your right to opt out of sharing. Decline in the banner, change your answer under “Cookie choices” at the bottom of any page, or turn on Global Privacy Control in your browser. Any of these keeps the pixel off. Because this site doesn’t know who you are, the choice applies to the browser you make it in.

You also have the right to know what we’ve collected about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and not to be treated differently for using these rights. Email us to use them, and you can have someone you authorise act for you.

Children

This site isn’t meant for children, and we don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 16. If you think a child has sent us information, tell us and we’ll delete it.

Changes

If we change what the site collects, we’ll update this page and the date at the top. If a change affects what you agreed to, we’ll ask you again.
