This page is being finalised. It describes the behaviour of this website today; the reviewed version will replace it before launch. For how we handle personal data generally, see our Privacy Policy.

What cookies are

Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. Similar technologies — local storage and session storage — work the same way for the purposes of this policy, and we refer to all of them as "cookies" below.

The categories we use

Strictly necessary

Required for the site to work and for remembering the choice you make in the cookie banner. These are set without consent because the site cannot function without them, and they are never used to profile you. Today there are two. Your cookie choice is kept in your browser's local storage (not as a cookie) under the key ghq_consent. It records whether you accepted analytics and marketing, when, and the version of the banner you answered; it holds no identifier and is not sent to us. We treat it as expired after 180 days, or sooner if we change the banner's version, and then ask you again. On the documentation pages under /docs/, which sections of the navigation sidebar are open and where it is scrolled is kept in session storage, which your browser clears when you close the tab.

Analytics

Used to understand which pages are read and how people arrive, so we can improve them. These run only after you accept them in the cookie banner. If you do not accept, no analytics script is loaded, no analytics cookie is set and no analytics request is sent. Accepting loads two services:

  • Google Analytics 4 (Google). Sets the cookies _ga and _ga_<ID>, which hold a random identifier used to count repeat visits and sessions. Google's default expiry for both is 2 years; your browser may delete them sooner.
  • Ahrefs Web Analytics (Ahrefs). Sets no cookies: Ahrefs states that it counts visits without cookies or a persistent identifier and stores no personally identifiable information. It records the page address, the referring page and your browser's user agent, and, like any web server, receives your IP address with the request.

Marketing

We do not load advertising or marketing tags on this website, and set no marketing or advertising cookies. If that changes, this page and the Privacy Policy will be updated before any such cookie is set.

Changing your mind

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time using the Cookie settings link in the footer of every page outside the documentation at /docs/, which loads no analytics. When you withdraw consent, the site deletes the analytics cookies stored for this website in your browser and reloads the page, so no analytics script keeps running. Data already sent to Google or Ahrefs before you withdrew is kept as described in our Privacy Policy. You can also delete cookies using your browser's settings.

Third parties

Fonts are served from our own domain and images come from our own storage. The only third-party code this website loads is the two analytics services above, and only after you accept analytics. Who they are, where they process data and on what terms is in section 4 of our Privacy Policy.
