Cookie Policy
Last updated: 11 June 2026
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They help websites remember your preferences and keep you signed in. We also use browser localStorage for some preferences, which works similarly but stays on your device. The DataFixr browser extension uses browser extension storage rather than website cookies for some functionality.
How we use cookies
DataFixr uses a minimal set of essential cookies and preference storage. We also measure how the web app is used so we can improve it, but unless you accept optional analytics cookies that happens without storing or reading anything on your device. We never load advertising or behavioural-advertising cookies, and session replay only runs if you opt in.
Essential Cookies
Required for authentication, core functionality, and remembering your preferences. These cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| sb-access-token | Authentication token (JWT) that keeps you signed in | Session |
| sb-refresh-token | Allows your session to be refreshed without re-entering your password | Session |
| fixr_consent | Records your cookie preferences so we don't ask again | 180 days |
| sidebarCollapsed | Remembers whether the navigation sidebar is open or collapsed | 1 year |
| theme (localStorage) | Remembers your light or dark mode preference | Persistent |
Third-Party Services
We use PostHog (EU Cloud) for product analytics. It runs by default without any device storage - the identifier lives in your browser tab's memory and is gone when the tab closes - so it sets no cookies unless you opt in. Choosing "Essential only" stops product analytics altogether, not just its cookies. We use no advertising or chat-widget cookies.
| Service | Purpose | Status |
|---|---|---|
| PostHog product analytics | Measures which parts of the app are used and where workflows fail, so we can improve them. Never receives your file contents, records, or search terms. | On, no device storage |
| ph_* (PostHog) | Stores the analytics identifier so activity is recognised across visits and tabs, and enables sampled session replay for debugging. | Only if you accept |
