Cookies and analytics
This page lists everything textmenot.app stores in your browser or sends to a third party, and why. The app itself is covered by the privacy policy.
What runs without asking
| What | Provider | Stores a cookie? | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Page views | Vercel Web Analytics (our hosting provider), served from this domain | No. Cookieless; a visitor hash that resets daily, no cross-site tracking, query strings stripped. | Counting visits |
| Your cookie choice | This site | No cookie. One entry in your browser's local storage, kept for 12 months. | Remembering that you accepted or declined |
| Which link brought you to the beta page | This site | No cookie. One local-storage entry holding the campaign tag from the link (for example reddit/cpc), only set when the link carries one. | Knowing which ad or post a beta signup came from. Sent only with the signup form. |
What runs only if you accept
| What | Provider | Cookies | Purpose | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | Google LLC, processed in the United States | _ga, _ga_* (13 months) | Understanding which pages people read and where they came from. Advertising features and Google Signals are off. | 14 months in Google Analytics |
We use Google Consent Mode. Until you accept, every Google storage category is set to "denied" and the Google tag is not loaded at all. If you decline, it stays that way. A Global Privacy Control signal from your browser counts as a decline. You can change your mind from the "Cookie choices" link in the footer, and we will ask again if this list changes.
What never runs
- Advertising or remarketing pixels.
- Session replay or heat-map tools.
- Social media embeds that set cookies.
- Fingerprinting of any kind.
