Analytics Services We Use

We use two third-party analytics services, Google Analytics and PostHog. Whether they run by default depends on where you are:

If you are in the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland, nothing loads until you accept analytics cookies in the banner shown on your first visit — decline and neither is loaded.
Elsewhere, analytics are on by default and no banner is shown.

Either way, you can turn analytics off at any time using the analytics control at the bottom of this page — that stops both services and deletes their cookies. Your choice is remembered in your browser and takes precedence everywhere, so once you turn analytics off they stay off.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics (GA4), operated by Google LLC in the United States, measures basic traffic — pages viewed, rough location, device and referrer. It sets its own cookies (for example _ga) to distinguish visitors. It follows the same rule as above: inside the EU, EEA, UK and Switzerland it loads only after you accept; elsewhere it is on by default. Turn analytics off and gtag.js stops and its _ga cookies are deleted.

PostHog

PostHog is a product-analytics service run by PostHog, Inc. in the United States — a third party. It follows the same rule as above. When enabled, PostHog:

sets a first-party cookie (ph_..._posthog) that holds a random identifier;
records which pages and features you interact with (autocapture of clicks and form interactions);
records sessions (session replay), with all text inputs masked so their contents are never captured;
receives your IP address, browser and referrer as part of each request.

When analytics are off, PostHog is not loaded and none of the above happens. You can turn analytics off — or back on — at any time using the control at the bottom of this page, which deletes PostHog's cookies when you turn it off.

Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can:

Delete cookies from your device
Block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse all or some cookies
