What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for the site to work at all (keeping you signed in, remembering your language); others help us understand how the site is used or measure our advertising. HookTrend also uses browser storage (localStorage) for a few preferences; where that matters we list it below.
HookTrend is part of Hooked and is operated by VidMe LLC. It runs on the same platform as hooked.so, so some cookie names start with hooked_. This page covers hooktrend.com and the HookTrend app. The HookTrend MCP server sets no cookies in your AI app: it signs in with OAuth or an API key (see the Privacy Policy).
Your choice
The first time you visit, a banner asks whether you accept all cookies or only the essential ones. Your answer is stored for twelve months in the hooked_consent cookie. You can change it at any time from the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page, or by clearing the cookie in your browser.
Essential cookies do not need consent and are always set. PostHog product analytics loads only after you choose "Accept all". The Meta Pixel loads with your choice attached: until you accept, it is told you have not consented.

We also keep a few preferences in localStorage rather than in cookies, such as whether you paused the motion on the home page. They never leave your browser.
Attribution cookies (first party)
When you arrive from an email, an ad or a partner link we store where you came from so that we can credit the right source if you later subscribe. These are set by us, contain no personal data, and are read only by us.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
hooked_attr |
First-touch source (UTM parameters) | 30 days |
hooked_src |
The email link that led you here | 7 days |
hooked_acq |
Marks visits coming from paid campaigns so we can adapt what we show | 90 days |
Analytics and advertising
| Provider | Cookies | Purpose | More information |
|---|---|---|---|
| PostHog (product analytics) | ph_* and matching localStorage entries |
Understand which features are used and where people get stuck. Loads only after "Accept all". Data stays in our own PostHog project. | posthog.com/privacy |
| Meta Pixel | _fbp, _fbc |
Measure whether our ads on Facebook and Instagram lead to sign-ups. Sends nothing identifying until you accept, where the law requires consent. | facebook.com/privacy/policy |
Our page-view statistics use DataFast, which works without cookies and does not identify you; it runs regardless of your choice. hooktrend.com does not load the Google Ads tag.
Support chat
Inside the app, the support widget (Chatwoot) stores a conversation identifier (cw_conversation) so that a chat you started can continue later. It is set only once you open the chat.
How to block cookies in your browser
Every browser lets you delete or block cookies in its settings. Blocking essential cookies will sign you out and may break parts of the site. Instructions: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge.
Changes to this policy
We update this page whenever we add or remove a cookie. Material changes are announced to account holders by email.
