Cookies & Analytics

Plain English

PostHog and Google Analytics are gated by your consent. Vercel Analytics is cookieless. No ad cookies. No selling data.

Poyse uses a small number of analytics tools. Some are gated behind the cookie banner; others are cookieless and always on:

  • Vercel Analytics & Speed Insights — cookieless, anonymous performance data. Runs regardless of your choice.
  • Essential cookies — authentication and session management via Clerk. Required for the site to function.

Consent is split into categories: Essential (always on), Analytics, and Marketing (placeholder — we don't run ads today). Your choice is stored in a cookie named poyse_consent_v1 for one year. Clearing your browser cookies resets the choice and the banner will reappear. You can also change it any time: .

We don't use advertising cookies and we don't sell your data to third parties.
