This page explains the cookies and similar technologies Canary uses, why we use them, and how you can control them. For broader detail on personal data, see the Privacy Policy.
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are commonly used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and provide aggregate analytics. Similar technologies include local storage and pixel tags.
| Cookie | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
canary_session |
Strictly necessary | Keeps you signed in to your Canary account. | 30 days |
canary_csrf |
Strictly necessary | Protects forms from cross-site request forgery. | Session |
cookie_consent |
Strictly necessary | Records your cookie preferences so we don't ask again. | 12 months |
_pa_* (Plausible Analytics or equivalent) |
Analytics | Aggregate, anonymous product analytics. No cross-site tracking. No personal identifiers. | Session or up to 24 months for aggregate IDs |

These are required to operate the service, log you in, and process payments. They cannot be turned off in our consent banner. You can still block them in your browser settings, but parts of Canary will stop working.
We use a privacy-respecting analytics tool that does not set persistent identifiers tied to you and does not share data with advertising networks. We use the resulting aggregates to understand which pages and features matter, where users get stuck, and where to invest engineering effort. You can opt out at any time.
We honour the Global Privacy Control signal. We do not respond to the deprecated Do Not Track header beyond what our analytics tool implements upstream.
We will update this list when we add or remove tools that set cookies. The “last updated” date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
