1. What this policy covers
Cookies, local storage, and similar technologies save or read information on your device. Some are essential to operate ProofPost. Analytics and advertising technologies are optional and remain off unless you make the corresponding choice.
2. Technologies we use
| Technology | Purpose | Category | Typical duration |
|---|---|---|---|
proofpost-consent-v1 | Stores your consent categories and date. | Essential | Up to 6 months, unless changed or cleared earlier |
| ProofPost authentication and security storage | Keeps signed-in sessions secure and maintains core account state. | Essential | Session or until sign-out/expiry |
proofpost-locale | Remembers language and interface preferences. | Preference | Until expiry or browser clearing |
| Google Tag Manager | Loads permitted Google measurement tags through a web worker. | Analytics / advertising | GTM itself does not set cookies |
_ga, _ga_* | Distinguishes visits and measures aggregate website use in Google Analytics. | Analytics | Typically up to 2 years |
_gcl_au and related Google advertising storage | Measures advertising conversions and, only if enabled, supports advertising features. | Advertising | Typically up to 90 days; Google may use other durations |
3. Consent and Google tags
ProofPost uses basic Google Consent Mode. Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and advertising tags do not load until you grant the relevant optional category. Rejecting optional technologies does not prevent access to the public site.
Google tags run through Partytown to reduce their impact on the main browser thread. This performance mechanism does not change your consent choice or permit a tag to run without the relevant permission.
4. Change or withdraw consent
Use the permanent Cookie settings button to accept, reject, or change optional categories at any time. Withdrawal applies from that point forward. You can also delete stored data through your browser controls. We ask again after six months or when a material consent purpose changes.
5. Essential monitoring
Sentry is used for essential error and performance monitoring. It is configured without session replay or default personal-data collection, and ProofPost removes user identity, request bodies, headers, cookies, console breadcrumbs, and URL query strings before sending events. Sentry is not loaded through Google Tag Manager.
6. Browser controls and contact
Your browser can block or delete storage, but blocking essential technologies may prevent sign-in or other core functions. Questions can be sent to hello@proofpost.pro.
