Getting started with Cacao

Does this website ask for my TIDAL password?

No. There is no TIDAL sign-in on this website. To listen, sign in to your own TIDAL account in the Cacao player.

Does this website track what I listen to?

No. The website cannot read your TIDAL collection or listening history and uses no analytics or advertising trackers. The hosting server still receives technical request data, such as your IP address.

Where does the player keep my listening history?

The player stores Recent listening history on your computer. Turn off Save listening history in that section to stop adding entries; existing entries remain. TIDAL separately applies its own privacy terms.
