Cookie policy

Your choice

Gistful asks before optional website analytics run. You can accept analytics, reject optional analytics, or choose later. Change your choice any time from the Cookie settings link in the footer.

We save that choice in a host-only cookie called gistful_consent for 182 days. It records your cookie preference, not your account, scan, or workspace content. This essential record lets us remember your choice.

Essential storage

Gistful needs browser storage to provide the service. Clerk uses authentication and session technology so signed-in pages can work. Its exact cookie names and retention are controlled by Clerk and can change as part of its service.

On the browser demo, Gistful uses local browser storage for workspace data on your device. In signed-in workspaces, this tab may use session storage for unsaved profile, question, or recovery edits. These are not analytics cookies. Removing them can sign you out, reset the browser demo, or discard unsaved edits.

Optional website analytics

Umami runs only on public pages after you opt in. It helps us understand page visits, referring websites, and interactions such as a signup or pricing click.

We configure it without account IDs, names, email addresses, free-text form content, scan questions, answers, drafts, or workspace data. We do not use session replay or analytics cookies. Umami processes the request IP address and browser information to group visits and derive approximate location and device information; it does not save the raw IP address in its analytics tables. We remove analytics events and session records older than 180 days through a daily cleanup. Withdrawing consent stops future collection; it does not remove records already received. Product measurement in the app is separate: it is a limited server-side record linked to an account, described in the Privacy notice, and is not sent to Umami.

Third-party services

Payment checkout, sign-in, and connected services may use their own browser storage under their own notices. This policy covers Gistful’s website and the choices shown in our cookie settings. Review the applicable provider notice when you use those services.

Managing cookies

Use Cookie settings to change the optional analytics choice. You can also clear browser storage through your browser settings. Clearing the consent cookie means Gistful will ask again. Blocking all browser storage can prevent sign-in and other parts of the app from working.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy when our browser storage or analytics use changes. The version shown on this page is effective on 2 October 2026.
