This explains the cookies and similar storage Cringe uses. The short version is that we use as few as possible.
What these are
Cookies and local storage are small pieces of data your browser keeps for a site. Some are needed for the site to work. Others are optional.
What we use
We group what we use into two kinds:
- Strictly necessary: sign-in and session cookies, set by our sign-in provider Clerk, that keep you logged in and keep the app working. These cannot be turned off.
- Preferences: a small record of your cookie choices, so we do not ask again until the policy changes, and your motion and transparency settings, kept on this device only.
Optional product analytics
Optional product analytics uses OpenPanel on infrastructure we operate ourselves in the European Union. It counts page views and basic usage without setting analytics cookies, and without session replay or advertising. It stays off until you allow it in the cookie banner or the choices control below.
Error reports
When the app crashes we send a report to GlitchTip on servers we operate in the European Union. That is part of running the service, not optional analytics. We do not use it for advertising or session replay, and it does not set extra cookies.
What we do not use
We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site and third-party tracking to profile you. The public honest version box sets no cookie and stores nothing on your device; the bot check on its email form, Cloudflare Turnstile, may set its own short-lived cookie while it runs.
