Cookie policy

What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small file a website places on your device. We also use similar technologies (browser local storage). They keep the service working, keep you signed in and — only with your consent — measure how the service is used.

Our approach: analytics is optional

Analytics cookies are only set after your explicit consent. Until you click "Accept" in the banner, no analytics cookie is placed and no usage data is sent to our measurement tool. Strictly necessary cookies, by contrast, are essential and do not require consent.

Strictly necessary cookies

Always on — the service cannot work without them.

Authentication

Clerk — keeps you signed in to your account (secure session).

Consent preference

Remembers your cookie choice so the banner isn't shown again.

Preferences

The language and theme (light/dark) you selected.

Payment

Stripe — secures the checkout flow when you subscribe.

Analytics cookies (with your consent)

Enabled only if you accept. We use PostHog (servers in the European Union) to understand and improve the service — pages viewed, features used, errors encountered.

Tool

PostHog (PostHog Inc.), EU hosting.

Purpose

Aggregate usage statistics, error tracking, product improvement.

Session replay

Your conversation content is masked in recordings; only navigation and UI are visible, for debugging.

Reverse proxy

Collection is routed through our own domain (/ingest).

Manage your choice

You can change your choice at any time via the "Manage cookies" link at the bottom of the legal pages, which re-opens the banner. You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; some features may then stop working correctly.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy; the date at the top of the page shows the last revision. Questions: hello@swissopendata.com. See also our privacy policy.
