Cookies on socialpyre.com

Last updated: 2026-04-26

This page lists every cookie socialpyre.com sets, what each one does, and how to turn them off. We don't use advertising cookies and we don't share cookie data with ad networks, so there's no "accept all" banner — the cookies we set are either functional or analytics, both with narrow purposes.

The cookies we set

pyre_theme

Purpose: remembers whether you've chosen the light, dark, or system theme. Without it, your preference would reset on every page load.

Type: first-party, functional. Set when you click the theme toggle in the footer. Lifetime: 1 year.

pyre_signed_in

Purpose: a hint cookie that tells the marketing site whether you appear to be signed in to the (future) Pyre app, so we can show "Go to app" instead of "Sign in" in the navigation. It contains no authentication token or personal information — just a yes/no flag.

Type: first-party, functional. Set by the auth flow (when launched). Lifetime: 30 days.

PostHog cookies (ph_*, __ph_*)

Purpose: our analytics provider, PostHog, sets a small number of first-party cookies (typically prefixed ph_ or __ph_) to recognize repeat visits and tie a sequence of events to the same anonymous visitor. We use these to understand how people find and use the site in aggregate.

Type: first-party, analytics. Lifetime: up to 1 year. Only set in production (socialpyre.com) — never on dev or test environments.

How to disable cookies

All modern browsers let you block or delete cookies, either site-wide or per-site. Look in your browser's privacy settings:

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Safari
• Edge

If you block cookies on socialpyre.com, the site still works — your theme preference just won't persist across visits, and you'll show up as a new visitor in our analytics each time.

Why no consent banner?

Consent banners exist primarily because of advertising and cross-site tracking. We do neither. Our cookies are first-party, narrowly scoped, and disclosed in plain English on this page. We'd rather not insult your time with a popup.

If we ever add a tracker that requires consent under EU/UK law — or if we start serving meaningful EU traffic — we'll add a proper consent flow before doing so.
