Cookie Policy
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device. They help sites remember things like your preferences or whether you're logged in. Some are necessary for the site to function; others help us improve it.
Cookies We Use
| Cookie / Storage | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cc-cookie-consent | Essential | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies so we don't ask again. | Persistent (localStorage) |
| cc-lang, cc-lang-chosen | Essential | Remembers your preferred language so we can show the right version of the site. | Persistent (localStorage) |
| cc-traffic-visitor-id, cc-traffic-session-v1 | Analytics | Stores anonymous first-party visitor and session IDs so our private dashboard can count traffic, sessions, top pages, and repeat visits. Set only if you accept analytics. | Visitor ID persistent (localStorage), session ID resets after inactivity |
| PostHog cookies (ph_*) | Analytics | Tracks anonymous page views, clicks, and sessions to help us understand how people use the site. Set only if you accept analytics cookies. | 1 year |
| Basic first-party visit counting | No cookie / no browser storage | Counts page loads in hourly aggregates for our private dashboard using only normalized pathname and timestamp. Always on, even if analytics cookies are declined. | No client-side storage |
Essential vs. Analytics
Essential cookies are needed for basic site functionality — remembering your language choice and your cookie preference. These are always active. They do not track you or send data to third parties.
Basic first-party visit counting is separate from cookies. It is always on, even if you decline analytics cookies, and stores only normalized page path plus timestamp into hourly aggregates. It does not use cookies, localStorage IDs, fingerprinting, stored IPs, stored user-agents, or stored referrers.
Analytics cookies and storage are used only if you click "Accept" on the cookie banner. We use a separate first-party analytics layer plus PostHog for product analytics. These tools help us see which pages are popular, where visitors drop off, and how we can make the site more useful. They do not identify you personally.
Your Choices
When you first visit, a banner at the bottom of the page asks whether you accept analytics cookies. You can:
- Accept — analytics cookies are loaded for this and future visits.
- Decline — no analytics cookies are set. The site works the same way, and we still do basic non-identifying first-party visit counting with no cookies or IDs.
You can change your mind at any time by clicking the button below. This clears your stored preference and the banner will appear again on the next page you visit.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies may affect how the site works.
Third-Party Services
We use a small number of third-party services that may set their own cookies when you interact with them:
- Stripe — sets cookies during checkout to process payments securely.
- CrewCompliance first-party analytics — stores anonymous visitor/session IDs and pageview metadata only if you accept analytics.
- CrewCompliance basic visit counter — does not set cookies and still counts page loads in non-identifying hourly aggregates even if you decline analytics cookies.
- PostHog — sets analytics cookies only if you accept (see above).
We do not use advertising cookies or sell data to ad networks.
