Privacy

Last changed 10 October 2026.

If you only read the site

No account, no cookies, no advertising. Visits are counted with Cloudflare Web Analytics: a small script from Cloudflare reports which page was opened, how fast it loaded, and the country and kind of browser it came from. It sets no cookies, keeps no address that identifies you, and doesn't follow you to other sites. Your browser keeps a short note for this site alone (the shaders you have opened, where you stopped in a video), which never leaves your device; the About page can forget it.

If you make an account

Ray Kiln stores:

• your email address, when the account was made, and that you said you are 13 or older;
• your handle, if you choose one;
• your favourites, likes and any reports you send;
• the shaders you share: their source, recording, title, description and settings;
• for each browser or app you're signed in on: when it signed in and was last used, and its browser or app name, so you can sign it out.

Signing in sets two cookies on raykiln.dev: one that keeps you signed in, which scripts can't read, and one that only says you are signed in, so the pages know to show your favourites. Neither is used for anything else. Sign-in codes are sent from signin@raykiln.dev.

Your email address is never shown to anyone or shared. Your handle and what you share publicly are public.

Who handles it

The site, its database, its files and its email run on Cloudflare, which processes them to provide that service. The sign-in form uses Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people from bots. Nothing is sold, and nothing is given to anyone else unless the law requires it.

Keeping and deleting

Sign-in codes are deleted a day after they expire, and sessions when they end. Everything else stays until you delete it. Deleted data can stay in the site's private backups for up to 90 days, then it is gone from those too. From your account page you can download everything stored about you as a file, sign out everywhere, and delete your account, which removes all of it, your shared shaders and their files included.
