What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help the site remember your preferences and understand how you use it.

Analytics and third parties
We use no advertising cookies and we do not sell or share your data with advertisers. We use two analytics tools, and they are treated differently because only one of them touches your device.
Plausible gives us anonymous visitor counts for our public pages. It sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device, so it needs no consent and runs even if you decline below. It is served from our own domain and never sees your signed-in pages.
Microsoft Clarity records anonymised page interactions so we can see where the site is confusing. It does set cookies, so it only ever loads after you accept — declining means the script is never run at all. It runs only on our public pages: it is switched off on your signed-in study pages, so your journal, quizzes and chats are never recorded.
Managing cookies
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies will prevent you from signing in to Dose Up.
