Cookie policy.

We use the minimum set of cookies required to run the product. No ad-tracking, no fingerprinting, no cookie walls. Here's the exact list.

Last updated · April 23, 2026

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file a site stores in your browser. Some cookies are strictly required to make the site work (e.g. keeping you logged in). Others are optional and help us understand how the product is used so we can improve it.

2. Cookies we set

Strictly necessary

Clerk session cookies — keep you signed in. Without these, you'd have to log in on every page load.
CSRF tokens — protect against cross-site request forgery on authenticated actions (billing, profile, etc.).
Theme preference — remembers whether you chose light or dark mode. Stored in localStorage, not a cookie, but included here for completeness.
Sentry operational monitoring — helps us catch crashes, broken page loads, and severe frontend failures so the product stays usable. This is treated as service reliability telemetry, not marketing analytics.
Stripe anti-fraud cookies — loaded on checkout and billing flows when payment processing is required.

These cannot be disabled — the product would not function without them.

Analytics (optional)

PostHog — first-party analytics. Sets a pseudonymous identifier so we can measure feature usage and find UX dead ends. No cross-site tracking, no advertising, retained for 12 months.

Payment processing

Stripe — only loaded on the billing pages. Stripe sets its own cookies to prevent payment fraud (details in Stripe's privacy notice). These are classified as strictly necessary when you're on a checkout or billing page.

3. Cookies we don't set

No advertising or retargeting cookies.
No third-party social-media trackers (Meta Pixel, etc.).
No device-fingerprinting cookies.
No data-broker integrations.

4. Controlling cookies

In your browser: most browsers let you block or delete cookies from specific sites. Doing so for gitpitcher.com will log you out and break the authenticated experience.
Consent banner: on first visit, Git Pitcher asks whether you want optional analytics enabled. You can choose Only necessary and continue using the product normally.
Do Not Track: when your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, we keep optional analytics off by default unless you explicitly opt in.

Current cookie preference

No choice saved yet

5. Changes

We'll update this page whenever the product adds or removes a sub-processor that sets cookies. The “last updated” date at the top always reflects the current version.
