Five cookies, and one of them is optional

Analytics, if you allow it

Google Analytics runs on the public pages only — never once you’re signed in. It loads only after you say yes, IP addresses are anonymised, and the paths we send are stripped of anything identifying. It tells us how people find Sameside and which pages confuse them. It never sees your answers, your check-ins or which tools you use inside the app.

You can change your mind whenever you like: clear the ss_consent cookie in your browser and the question comes back, or write to us and we’ll confirm it in writing. Saying no changes nothing about how Sameside works.
