1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. They serve various purposes such as remembering your preferences, keeping you signed in, and helping us understand how our platform is used. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function; others are optional and require your consent.
2. Essential Cookies
These cookies are required for the platform to function correctly. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.
- Authentication Session (
fcm_session): Keeps you signed in while you use the platform. This is an HttpOnly, SameSite=Strict cookie that expires when your session ends or after the configured session timeout. It cannot be read by JavaScript and is only sent to our servers. - CSRF Token (
fcm_csrf): Protects against cross-site request forgery attacks. This double-submit cookie is HMAC-signed and validated on every state-changing request to ensure that actions originate from our platform, not a malicious third party. - Cookie Consent Preferences (
fcm_cookie_consent): Stored in localStorage (not a cookie, technically) to remember your cookie consent choices so we do not repeatedly prompt you. Expires after 12 months, at which point you will be asked again per GDPR guidance.
3. Optional Analytics Cookies
These cookies are only set if you explicitly consent via the cookie banner or the privacy preferences panel. They help us understand how visitors use the platform so we can improve the experience.
- PostHog Analytics: We use PostHog for product analytics. When you consent to analytics cookies, PostHog may set cookies to track page views, feature usage, and session information. PostHog data is used solely to understand usage patterns and improve the platform. No personally identifiable information is sent to PostHog—user IDs are pseudonymized before transmission. You can opt out at any time through the privacy preferences panel.
4. Third-Party Cookies
We use a limited number of third-party services that may set their own cookies:
- PostHog (analytics): Sets cookies to track anonymous usage data when you have consented to analytics. PostHog processes data in accordance with their privacy policy. Only activated when you accept analytics cookies.
- Sentry (error tracking): Used for error monitoring and performance tracking. Sentry may use cookies or local storage to correlate error reports. All PII is scrubbed before transmission to Sentry servers. Sentry is loaded as an essential service to maintain platform reliability.
We do not use any marketing or advertising cookies. We do not sell or share cookie data with advertisers.
5. How to Manage Cookies
5.1 Privacy Preferences Banner
When you first visit the platform, a cookie consent banner appears offering you three choices: Accept (enables all cookies), Reject (disables non-essential cookies), or Manage (opens a detailed preferences panel where you can toggle individual cookie categories). Your choice is remembered for 12 months.
5.2 Updating Your Preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the button below, or by visiting the Privacy Policy page and using the cookie settings panel there.
5.3 Browser Settings
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, set preferences for specific sites, or browse in a private/incognito mode that does not persist cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies may prevent you from signing in or using the platform.
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Cookies and site data
6. Data Retention
Essential cookies persist only for the duration of your session or until the configured timeout. Analytics cookies set by PostHog follow PostHog's default retention policies and are cleared when you revoke analytics consent. Your consent preferences are stored for 12 months before re-prompting.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. If we make material changes to how we use cookies, we will re-prompt you for consent.
