Cookie Policy.

We use the minimum cookies needed to keep you logged in and tell us aggregate funnel info. No advertising cookies. No third-party tracking.

Effective May 1, 2026 Version 2.1

What's a cookie?

A cookie is a small text file your browser stores when you visit a site. It lets the site remember you between page loads — for example, that you're logged in. Cookies are not malware; they're just key/value pairs in a file.

Some cookies are essential (a site can't function without them). Some are convenient. Some are for tracking. We use the first two; we don't use the third.

Categories we use

That's the entire list. We don't use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, ad-tech retargeting, or any third-party cookie not in this table.

Third-party cookies

The only third party that may set a cookie when you interact with our site is Stripe during the checkout flow. They use cookies for fraud prevention (Stripe Radar). See Stripe's cookie policy. We have no control over their cookies, but we picked Stripe specifically for their privacy posture.

How to opt out

In TextSight

Open the cookie banner (bottom-left corner on first visit) or go to Settings → Privacy → Cookies. You can disable Preferences and Analytics independently. Essential cookies can't be disabled — without them, login literally doesn't work.

In your browser

Every browser lets you block or delete cookies. Here's how, by browser:

Blocking all cookies will break logged-in functionality. Blocking analytics cookies has no effect on functionality.

Changes to this policy

If we add or remove cookies, we update this page and (for any non-essential additions) re-prompt your consent. Past versions are archived here.

Quick recap: 7 cookies total. 4 essential. 2 preferences (opt-in). 1 anonymous analytics (opt-in, EU-hosted). Zero advertising. We've fought hard to keep this list this short.
