all requests to the backend are anonymous and all information about tunnels is encrypted.
we have a strict zero log policy and don't track *anything* about individual people.
to avoid caching or storing downloaded files, cobalt processes them on-the-fly, sending processed pieces directly to client.
this technology is used when your request needs additional processing, such as when source service stores video & audio in separate files.
when a request needs additional processing, cobalt processes files on-the-fly.
it's done by tunneling processed parts directly to the client, without ever saving anything to disk.
for example, this method is used when the source service provides video and audio channels as separate files.
for even higher level of protection, you can [ask cobalt to always tunnel everything](/settings/privacy#tunnel).
when enabled, cobalt will proxy everything through itself. no one will know what you download, even your network provider/admin.
all they'll see is that you're using cobalt.

since we don't rely on any existing downloaders and develop our own from ground up,
cobalt is extremely efficient and a processing server can run on basically any hardware.
main processing instances are hosted on several dedicated servers in several countries,
to reduce latency and distribute the traffic.
additionally, you can [enable forced tunneling](/settings/privacy#tunnel) to protect your privacy.
when enabled, cobalt will tunnel all downloaded files.
no one will know where you download something from, even your network provider.
all they'll see is that you're using a cobalt instance.
