1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you use the site.
2. How CostShield Uses Cookies
We use very few cookies. CostShield is designed to work without tracking cookies. Here is the complete list:
| Source | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| PostHog | Anonymous session tracking for product analytics (page views, funnel steps). No personal data. | ~1 year |
| Stripe | Fraud prevention during checkout. Required by Stripe for payment security. | Session |
3. What We Do NOT Use
- No advertising cookies (no retargeting, no ad networks).
- No social media tracking pixels.
- No third-party analytics beyond PostHog.
- No cross-site tracking.
4. How to Control Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Enabling Do Not Track in your browser will disable PostHog analytics cookies on CostShield.
5. No Cookie Banner Required
Because we do not use cookies for advertising or non-essential tracking, most jurisdictions do not require a cookie consent banner for our current cookie usage. If we add analytics or tracking cookies in the future, we will implement a consent banner.
