Cookie Policy
This page explains what cookies and similar technologies we use on gearedapp.co.uk, why we use them, and how you can change your mind. For how we handle personal data more generally, see our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They're used to make sites work, remember preferences, and understand how visitors find and use them. The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and UK GDPR require us to tell you which we set, and to obtain your consent before setting any that aren't strictly necessary.
What we set on this site
Strictly necessary
These are loaded on every visit and don't require your consent. They're needed for the site to work or to keep it secure.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| ga_consent | GearedApp | Records your cookie preferences so we don't ask again. | 13 months |
| theme (localStorage) | GearedApp | Remembers your light/dark theme choice when you select one. | Until cleared |
| Error monitoring | Sentry (EU) | Captures uncaught JavaScript errors so we can fix bugs. No session replay, no behavioural tracking, no performance traces. | Request-scoped |
| Performance telemetry | Vercel | Anonymous page-performance metrics. No cookies or local storage — sent as a one-shot beacon. | No storage |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare (media subdomain only) | Bot management for our media CDN at media.gearedapp.co.uk. | 30 minutes |
Statistics — requires your consent
We use PostHog (hosted in the EU) to understand which pages visitors find useful and where they get stuck. Nothing is captured until you click Accept on the cookie banner.
| Name | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| ph_*_posthog | PostHog | Anonymous analytics. We don't enable autocapture, session recording or surveys. | 12 months |
Third-party links
When you book a discovery call we redirect you to Cal.com — that's a different site with its own cookies and privacy policy. We don't embed Cal.com on our pages, so no Cal.com cookies are set while you're on gearedapp.co.uk.
Changing your mind
You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the button below, or by clicking Cookie preferences in the site footer.
You can also clear cookies through your browser settings. If you do, we'll ask you again on your next visit.
