Cookies

HEADING sets a small number of cookies and browser-storage items to run the service and to understand product usage. Where the law requires your permission first, product analytics stays off until you agree; elsewhere (for example in the United States) it runs until you opt out. Either way you can change your choice at any time. This page lists every service we use, grouped by category, why it's there, and for how long.

Strictly necessary

Required to run HEADING — signing in, security, and remembering your cookie choice. These can't be switched off.

Name | Provider | Purpose

next-auth.session-tokennext-auth.csrf-tokennext-auth.callback-url | NextAuth.js | Keeps you signed in and protects sign-in forms from cross-site request forgery.

No client-side storage | Sentry | Reports application errors so we can fix bugs — runs server-side only, sets no cookies or browser storage.

Performance

Helps us understand how HEADING is used so we can improve it — page views and feature usage, never sold or used for advertising.

Name | Provider | Purpose

ph_* | PostHog | Privacy-friendly product analytics (PostHog, EU-hosted) — runs only while the Performance category is on: off until you grant it where the law requires permission first, on until you opt out elsewhere (for example in the United States). No analytics cookie is ever written.
