1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember preferences and improve your experience.
2. Cookies We Use
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| sidebar:state | Sidebar expanded/collapsed state | 7 days |
| Vercel Analytics | Page views, performance metrics | Data retention per Vercel. |
| Google Analytics | Traffic analytics (e.g. geography, device, referral) | Per Google's policy. |
| PostHog (ph_*) | Product analytics and session replay; set only after you accept this notice | Up to 1 year / per PostHog's policy. |
| Google OAuth (session) | Maintains authenticated state when signed in via Google Sign-In | Session / per Google's policy. |
3. Local Storage
We use browser local storage (not cookies) for:
- voicedot-consent — records your acceptance of the cookie notice
- voicy_reporter_id — pseudonymous device identifier for attribution and rate limiting (stored only after consent)
- voicy-onboarding-intro-seen — whether you have already seen the first-visit voice intro
- voicy_listen_id (session storage) — fallback identifier used only to avoid counting the same listen twice; cleared when you close the browser
- ph_* — PostHog analytics identifier and settings; stored only after you accept the cookie notice (before that, analytics runs in memory only and nothing is stored on your device)
The identifier is stored until manually cleared by the user or reset by the system.
4. Managing Cookies
You can control or delete cookies in your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect functionality (e.g. sidebar state).
5. Third-Party Cookies
Vercel Analytics, Google Analytics, and PostHog may set cookies for analytics (PostHog — only after you accept the cookie notice). Google OAuth may set session-related cookies necessary for maintaining the authenticated state when you sign in with your Google account. See their respective privacy documentation for details. We do not use advertising or social tracking cookies.
6. Consent
Where required by law (e.g. in the EU), we obtain user consent before setting non-essential cookies.
