This Cookie Policy explains how Gistr uses cookies and similar technologies (such as pixels and local storage) when you visit https://gistr.so/. Read it together with our Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember you between pages and visits. Pixels and local storage work in a similar way, so we treat them the same as cookies here.
On your first visit, a cookie banner lets you:
Until you choose, we load no analytics or marketing cookies. Your choice (accept or reject) is stored for 6 months, after which we ask again. We also ask again when we add a new cookie category or a new provider. You can change or withdraw your consent at any time with the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of our website or here:
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. If you block strictly necessary cookies, parts of Gistr will not work. See AboutCookies.org for guidance.
Strictly necessary (always active). These cookies are needed for the site to work and cannot be turned off. They keep you signed in, keep your account secure and remember your settings. We also use PostHog, a first-party product analytics tool, to understand how Gistr is used and to fix problems. This data stays with us and is not used for advertising.

|---|---|---|---|
| accessToken | Gistr | 30 days | Keeps you signed in. |
| refreshToken | Gistr | 30 days | Renews your sign-in without asking you to log in again. |
| gistr_cookie_consent | Gistr | 6 months | Stores your cookie choices. |

| ph_<project key>_posthog | Gistr (PostHog) | 1 year | First-party product analytics used to fix problems. |
Analytics (only with your consent). These cookies help us understand how visitors use our website, so we can measure traffic and improve it. Data may be processed in the United States and other countries outside the EU/EEA.
| Cookie | Provider | Expiry | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Google Analytics | 2 years | Distinguishes visitors to measure website traffic. |
| _ga_<container id> | Google Analytics | 2 years | Keeps the state of a visit for Google Analytics. |
Marketing & tracking (only with your consent). These cookies measure how our ads perform (for example, how many people sign up after they see an ad), show our ads to relevant people, and credit affiliate partners. Data may be transferred to these providers in the United States and other countries outside the EU/EEA, where data protection laws may differ.
| Cookie | Provider | Expiry | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| _fbp | Meta (Facebook) | 90 days | Identifies your browser to measure and deliver our ads on Facebook and Instagram. |
| _fbc | Meta (Facebook) | 90 days | Stores the ad click that brought you to Gistr. |
| affonso_referral, affonso_data | Affonso | 30 days | Credits the affiliate partner who referred you. |
Affiliate links without consent. If you arrive through an affiliate partner's link and have not allowed marketing cookies, our affiliate provider Affonso still records that click, so the partner can be credited if you sign up or subscribe. It does this without cookies and without your browser details: the referral is kept only in the page address (as an affonso_id parameter) while you browse. If you allow marketing cookies, it is stored in the affonso_referral cookie instead.
