Cookie policy

Your choice

When you first visit Fabella, we ask whether you accept analytics and marketing cookies. They only run if you accept them. Necessary storage is always on, because the site can’t work without it.

You can change your choice at any time with the Cookie settings link at the bottom of every page, or in your account settings in Fabella. If you withdraw your consent, we delete the analytics and marketing cookies and reload the page. Withdrawing doesn’t affect what happened before.

Accepting our terms of service when you sign up isn’t consent to cookies. You only give that consent in the cookie banner.

The legal basis for analytics and marketing cookies is your consent. Necessary storage is used because you asked for the site or service it supports.

Cookies and storage we use

Necessary

• cookie-consent (cookie on fabella.io, shared with the editor): remembers your cookie choice. Kept for 12 months.
• __ph_opt_in_out_<project> (local storage, Fabella): remembers your analytics choice for PostHog. Kept until you change it.
• Cloudflare Turnstile (challenges.cloudflare.com): checks that form submissions come from a person, to stop spam. Runs while you use a form.
• Sign-in cookies and local storage (Fabella): keep you signed in and let Fabella work. Kept while you’re signed in.

Counting prompts, for everyone

• Activation ID (Fabella): a random ID made for each prompt you submit, explained below. Kept only for that browser session.

Analytics, only with your consent

• ph_<project>_posthog (Fabella): PostHog’s analytics cookie, explained below. Kept for 1 year.

Marketing, only with your consent

• LinkedIn Insight Tag: measures our LinkedIn ads and shows them to people who’ve visited Fabella. Sets cookies such as li_sugr (90 days), bcookie (1 year), lidc (1 day), UserMatchHistory and AnalyticsSyncHistory (30 days), mostly on linkedin.com.
• Google Ads tag: links clicks on our Google ads to sign-ups. Sets _gcl_au on Fabella, kept for 90 days.

LinkedIn and Google may also set cookies on their own domains. Their cookie policies list those.

Analytics, with and without your consent

We use PostHog, a US company, with data stored on its EU servers. PostHog doesn’t store your IP address, whatever you choose.

If you reject cookies, PostHog runs without cookies. Visits are grouped by a code that changes every day, so we can’t recognise you or link your visits to your account, even after you sign up. We don’t record your session or show you surveys.

The one exception is the activation ID. We send it to PostHog for everyone, so we can count how many prompts lead to a finished course. It travels in the link to your new project, and we remove it from the address bar once the project opens. If you rejected cookies, we never link it to your email address or account.

If you accept cookies, PostHog sets a cookie that recognises you across visits. If you then create an account or sign in, we link your visits to your account, so we can see which pages helped you get started, and we record your sessions with what you type hidden.

Ad platforms

LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company and we are joint controllers for the data the LinkedIn tag collects. We handle your consent in Fabella, and LinkedIn handles everything after the data reaches LinkedIn, including your rights there. You can still contact either of us.

Google Ireland Limited is an independent controller for the data the Google Ads tag collects, under Google’s own privacy policy.

Both platforms may transfer data to the United States, under their own safeguards. Our privacy policy explains how we protect our own transfers.

When you’re signed in

Fabella uses the sign-in cookies and local storage it needs to keep you signed in and work properly. Your cookie choice applies there too. If you accepted, session recordings also hide the editor content, and they’re deleted after 30 days.
