Cookies and analytics
What Exclia stores in your browser, and what it does not. The short version: two things the product needs to work, nothing at all for advertising, and — only if you agree when we ask — two things that let us see how people find us.
Last updated July 30, 2026.What is set for the site to work
Only what the product needs, and each of these does one job and does not report anywhere else:
Cloudflare Turnstile — Any form on this site that sends you an email — the free checker, the requirements table download, the waitlist, and the sign-up for new guides — asks Cloudflare Turnstile to confirm the request is coming from a person rather than a script. Running that check can store a short-lived value in your browser. It is used to complete the request and to keep those forms usable for everyone, not to recognise you elsewhere.
Clerk — If you sign in to the Exclia application, Clerk sets a session cookie so you stay signed in between pages. It is what keeps your organization’s data reachable only by your organization, and signing out clears it.
Exclia — Your answer to the question at the bottom of the page — yes or no — kept for 180 days so we do not ask again on every page you open. This one is set whichever way you answer, including no: remembering a refusal is the only way a refusal can be respected.
What is set only if you agree
Exclia is one person deciding whether to keep building this, and that decision is made from two numbers: how many people run a free check, and how many of them want the result by email. Measuring which links bring people here is what makes those numbers useful — so we ask, before anything below is stored, and we take no for an answer.
Exclia — Only if you agree: a random identifier, plus which link brought you here, kept for 90 days. It is what lets us see that someone who read a guide later ran a free check, without knowing who that someone is. It carries no name, no email address, and nothing you typed — and it is shared with the application’s own address so the two halves of that path are one path.
PostHog — Only if you agree: PostHog, our analytics provider in the European Union, stores its own identifier so the pages you open in one visit are counted as one visit. We have turned off the parts of it that would record more than that — no session recordings, no automatic capture of what you click, and no advertising or profile building of any kind.
If you say no
Nothing on this site behaves differently. Every page, the free checker, the downloads, and the sign-up all work exactly as they do for someone who said yes, and we do not ask again for six months.
One thing worth being precise about, because a notice that let you assume otherwise would be misleading: we still count how many free checks are run and how many people ask for the result by email. Those two counts happen on our own servers, they carry no identifier, and nothing is stored in your browser to make them — so they are a total, never a trail. What saying no removes is the connection between a visit and the pages that led to it.
What is never set
No advertising, no tag manager, no social embeds, no session recording, and no profile of you sold or shared with anyone. Nothing you type into the free checker is sent to our analytics provider — not the name, not the result — and nothing from inside the application is measured at all.
Clearing or blocking them
Your browser can clear or block all of the above, and nothing on this site tries to work around that. Blocking what Cloudflare stores may stop the free checker from completing its check, and blocking the sign-in cookie will stop you staying signed in to the application — those are the only two consequences, because the rest of the list is not load-bearing. Clearing the analytics ones means we will ask you again.
If something on this page does not match what you see in your browser, tell us and we will fix the page.
