6. COOKIES AND TRACKING
We use one kind of cookie: the essential cookies that keep you signed in and protect the sign-in form. Nothing else on the site sets a cookie.
- Our site analytics (Plausible) is cookieless and does not track you across sites
- When you are signed in, our product analytics (PostHog) keeps an ID in your browser's local storage, not in a cookie, so your usage is tied to your account. It is reset when you sign out.
- Your settings are stored in your browser, not in a cookie
- No advertising cookies, and nothing that follows you across other sites
