Cookie Policy

This policy explains the cookies Brieflings uses and the choice you have over them. It sits alongside our privacy policy.

What cookies are

A cookie is a small file a site stores in your browser. Some cookies are needed for a site to work at all; others are optional.

How we use cookies

Brieflings uses first-party cookies only — set by Brieflings itself, for Brieflings itself. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. We would like to use analytics cookies to understand how the site is used and to record sessions so we can diagnose problems users report; those load only if you accept them on the consent banner. The privacy policy describes the analytics and session-replay processing in more detail.

The cookies we set

Name Purpose Type Duration Provider
brieflings_session Keeps you signed in Strictly necessary — exempt from consent Up to 14 days First-party
brieflings_consent Remembers your cookie choice so we don't ask again Strictly necessary — exempt from consent 6 months First-party
ph_* Distinguishes visitors, remembers the consented analytics state, and links page interactions to the session replay we use to diagnose problems Consent required 12 months First-party — data processor: PostHog (EU Cloud)

Strictly necessary vs. consent

The two named cookies above are strictly necessary — one keeps you signed in, the other records the choice you make on the consent banner — so they are exempt from consent and are always set. The banner asks only about the optional analytics category; nothing in that category is set unless you choose Accept.

Managing your choice

You can change your mind at any time: reopen the cookie banner to make a new choice. You can also clear or block cookies through your browser settings; blocking the strictly-necessary cookies will stop you being able to sign in.

Changes to this policy

If our cookie use changes we will update the date shown above and, where it affects your choice, ask you again through the banner.
