The site sets what it needs to work, plus one analytics cookie that tells a new visit from a returning one. No ad trackers, and no cookie that follows you anywhere.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for the site to work; others track behaviour and require your consent.
2. The cookies we set
Strictly necessary ones: what the site needs to work, and what keeps you signed in to your account so your licence can be shown to you. Plus one analytics cookie from Google Analytics (the _ga cookie), which lets us tell a returning visit from a new one. There are no advertising cookies and no cross-site tracking cookies.
During checkout, our payment processor (Stripe) may set its own cookies to process the payment and prevent fraud. Those are governed by the processor's own policies.
3. How we count visits
We measure aggregate traffic and page performance with Vercel Web Analytics and Vercel Speed Insights, run by the company that hosts this site, and aggregate traffic with Google Analytics.
The two Vercel tools are cookieless: visitors are counted from a hash of the request and nothing is stored on your device. Google Analytics sets its first-party _ga cookie so it can recognise a returning visit; it runs with its advertising features switched off (no Google signals, no ad personalization), and we use it only for aggregate site measurement — how many people opened a page, roughly where in the world they were, which link sent them, and how fast the page loaded. Nothing here builds an advertising profile of you or follows you to other websites.
This is the website only. The Troth app itself has no analytics and no telemetry: it does not report what you do with it, and its own privacy behaviour is described in the Privacy Policy.
4. If that ever changes
If we ever add a tool that stores or reads anything on your device for a non-essential purpose — advertising, cross-site measurement, session recording — we will ask for your consent before it loads, and it will be listed here first.
5. Managing cookies
You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may stop parts of the site, sign-in, or checkout from working.
6. Changes
We may update this notice. The current version is always on this page, with the date it was last changed at the top.
