Cookie Policy

1. What we use

DotMD stores a few small values in your browser so the app works and remembers your preferences. Functional cookies are always on; optional measurement cookies are used only after consent:

• a session / authentication cookie that keeps you signed in (strictly necessary);
• a theme preference (the `dotmd-theme` value, in local storage) so the app remembers light or dark mode;
• a sidebar-layout preference (in local storage) so the workspace layout persists between visits;
• an analytics-consent preference (`dotmd-analytics-consent`, in local storage) that records whether you allowed or declined Google Analytics product analytics;
• a separate Meta measurement preference (`dotmd-meta-measurement-consent`, in local storage) that records whether you allowed or declined Meta campaign measurement;
• Meta Pixel first-party cookies (`_fbp` and `_fbc`) for browser and ad-click identifiers, set only while Meta ad measurement is allowed.

2. Why we use them

The session cookie is necessary to sign in. Theme and layout values remember your preferences. The analytics-consent value controls whether Google Analytics 4 may use analytics storage; the separate Meta measurement preference controls campaign measurement. These choices are independent. Analytics is used for product and business measurement, not advertising or cross-site advertising, and advertising signals and ads personalisation are disabled.

3. Third-party cookies

When you allow Google Analytics, Google Analytics 4 may set or read analytics identifiers under Google’s policies. When you separately allow Meta ad measurement, Meta Pixel may set or read the first-party `_fbp` and `_fbc` advertising identifiers. When you make a payment, checkout happens on Stripe’s hosted pages, and Stripe may set its own cookies under its policy.

4. Controlling cookies

You can clear or block cookies and site storage in your browser settings. Clearing the session cookie signs you out; clearing the preference values resets your theme and layout. Clearing either measurement-consent value resets that service’s choice after reload and asks for your choice again; Google’s cookieless measurement continues while its analytics storage remains denied.
