GitDailies - Cookie Policy
Our Privacy Policy explains our principles when it comes to the collection, processing, and storage of your information. This policy specifically explains how we deploy cookies.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to “remember” you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a “session cookie”) or for multiple repeat visits (using a “persistent cookie”). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as “first party cookies”), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website (“third party cookies”).
Cookies on the GitDailies marketing site
Analytics cookies
We use two analytics tools to see how visitors use our site so we can improve it: PostHog, a product analytics tool, and Google Analytics. These analytics cookies are optional: none of them are set unless you choose “Accept all” in our cookie banner, and you can withdraw your consent at any time via the “Cookie preferences” link in the page footer.
PostHog sets one first-party cookie and stores related data in your browser’s local storage. This data is used only by us. It is not shared with third-party advertisers.
Google Analytics sets first-party cookies to distinguish visitors and measure how the site is used. The data is processed by Google on our behalf. We have configured Google Analytics for measurement only: no advertising features are enabled and no data is shared for ad personalization.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
ph_[project_key]_posthog | PostHog (first-party) | Stores a randomly generated anonymous ID and session ID so we can measure site usage and tell returning visitors apart. | 12 months |
_ga | Google Analytics | Stores a randomly generated client ID so returning visitors can be told apart. | 2 years |
_ga_[container_id] | Google Analytics | Keeps track of the current browsing session state. | 2 years |
The [project_key] part of the cookie name is our PostHog project identifier, and the
[container_id] part is our Google Analytics measurement identifier, so the actual cookies on your
device will have those values filled in. The data PostHog keeps in local storage, such as user
and session properties, stays on your device and cannot be read by other websites.
Cookies in the GitDailies web app
If you are user of the GitDailies service and you log into the GitDailies web app (app.gitdailies.com), we will set a cookie when you log in. This cookie is used as part of the authentication process, so that you don’t have to log in on every visit. The cookie is strictly necessary for the operation of the GitDailies web app, and it is deleted when you logout.
No third party cookies are used.
