15. Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website (zukiapp.com) uses PostHog, a product-analytics service hosted in the European Union, to understand how people discover and move through the site. We use it to measure where visitors come from (for example a social post, a search, or a direct visit) and which pages lead people to our apps.
- Consent first. No analytics cookies are set and no analytics events are sent until you choose Accept in the cookie banner. If you Decline, analytics stays off. Using the website does not by itself grant consent.
- What is stored. On acceptance, PostHog stores a random identifier and related analytics data in your browser (cookies and local storage). This identifier is pseudonymous — it is not your name — but it is still personal data. We do not enable session recording on the website.
- Across our apps. So we can understand a single journey from the website to our web app, the identifier is scoped to the shared
zukiapp.comdomain and is read by both the marketing site and the web app atapp.zukiapp.com. - Changing your mind. Use the Cookie settings link in the footer (or at the bottom of our app-link pages) to re-open the banner at any time. Declining there stops further analytics capture and clears the analytics identifier from your browser. Your choice is stored for 180 days in a small first-party cookie (
zuki_analytics_consent) that contains only your choice, not an identifier. - Retention. PostHog keeps analytics events for up to 7 years, the fixed retention period of our PostHog plan. Your IP address is not stored with these events: PostHog discards it after deriving an approximate location (such as your country). If you decline or withdraw consent, no new events are collected.
This Privacy Policy is effective as of the "Last updated" date shown above.
