This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how we use them, and your choices regarding cookies when you use the zeitclaim application.

What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device.

How We Use Cookies

We use cookies that are technically necessary for the Service to function. We also use analytics cookies with your consent to understand how our Service is used and to improve it. If you decline analytics cookies, we use a privacy-preserving method that does not store any personal data on your device.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be switched off. They are only set in response to actions made by you, such as logging in or using the Service.

• Session Cookies: We use session cookies to maintain your authenticated session while using the Service.
• Security Cookies: We use security cookies for authentication and account protection.

Analytics Cookies (With Your Consent)

We use PostHog for privacy-focused product analytics. These cookies help us understand how you use our Service so we can improve it.

• PostHog Analytics: If you consent, PostHog stores cookies to track page views, user interactions, and session data. This data is stored in the EU (Frankfurt, Germany) and is not used for advertising.

Privacy-Preserving Fallback: If you decline analytics cookies, PostHog uses a server-side hash that cannot identify you personally. This allows us to count visitors without storing any personal data on your device. The hash is generated using a daily-rotating salt that is deleted after processing.

Your Choices Regarding Cookies

When you first visit our Service, we will ask for your consent to use analytics cookies. You can accept or decline at any time:

• Accept: Full analytics with cookies for better insights and personalized experience.
• Decline: Privacy-preserving anonymous counting only - no personal data stored.

You can change your preference at any time by clicking the button below or the "Cookie Preferences" link in the footer:

You can also delete cookies through your web browser settings, though this may affect your use of the Service.
