Proof of Position

Legal

Cookie Policy

Last updated: 7 May 2026

Pending legal review. A working draft. Cookie categories may evolve as we add or remove third-party services.

This Cookie Policy explains how Proof of Position (“POP”, “we”) uses cookies and similar technologies on proofofposition.org. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What is a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies let the site recognise your device, remember preferences, and collect information about how you use the site. We also use similar technologies such as local storage and pixels.

2. Categories of cookies we use

Category
Purpose

Strictly necessary

Always on

Required for the Service to function — e.g. authentication, session management, and security.

Functional

Optional

Remember your preferences (e.g. account type, navigation state) so you do not have to set them on every visit.

Analytics

Optional

Aggregated usage data that helps us understand how the Service is used and where it can be improved. We currently use Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity.

Marketing

Optional

Cookies set by services we use to deliver and measure marketing campaigns. Currently minimal — we will update this list as it changes.

3. How to control cookies

You can change your preferences at any time using the cookie banner shown on first visit, or by clearing the pop-consent cookie in your browser to make the banner reappear. Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies entirely — doing so may break parts of the Service that depend on them (for example, you will not stay logged in).

4. Third-party tools we use

The following third parties may set cookies or collect usage data when you use POP. Each is bound by its own privacy policy.

Google Analytics

Provider privacy policy →

Google LLC

Aggregated traffic, page views, and basic engagement metrics so we can see how POP is used at a high level.

Microsoft Clarity

Provider privacy policy →

Microsoft Corporation

Heatmaps and session recordings (with text and form inputs masked) so we can see where users get stuck and improve the experience.

Other cookies are set by core service providers (hosting, database, payments) and are listed in our Privacy Policy.

5. Changes

We will update this policy as the Service evolves. The “Last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent version.
