This Cookie Policy explains how wrxstack uses cookies and similar technologies on wrxstack.com and within the wrxstack platform. It supplements our Privacy Policy.
1. What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit it. Cookies let a website remember your actions, preferences, and authentication state over a period of time. We also use related technologies, local storage, session storage, and the occasional pixel, and refer to them all as "cookies" in this Policy. Cookies set by us are first-party cookies; cookies set by another organization on a page we serve are third-party cookies.
2. Our approach
We set the minimum number of cookies needed to operate the platform safely. We do not run advertising or cross-site ad tracking on our marketing site or in the product, and we do not embed Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, or any similar surveillance ad-tech tag. To understand how our marketing site is used and to improve the product, we use Google Analytics 4 and PostHog product analytics. These load only with your consent; in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland they do not run until you accept analytics in our cookie banner, and elsewhere you can decline at any time. We also honor the browser-level Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as an opt-out. Analytics data is never used for advertising or cross-site profiling.

Analytics (consent-required)
With your consent, our marketing site uses two analytics services to measure usage and improve the product. They are loaded through Google Tag Manager and the PostHog SDK and are governed by Google Consent Mode v2 plus our own opt-out controls. Until you accept analytics, no analytics cookies are set; in the EEA, the UK, and Switzerland they do not run at all until you accept.

You can withdraw consent at any time by choosing Decline in the cookie banner, sending a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, or clearing your browser's site data.
Advertising
None. We do not set or permit advertising cookies, and we do not track visitors across other sites.
4. Your controls
- Cookie preferences. Set or change your choice for non-essential cookies in the preferences panel below. Essential cookies cannot be disabled, without them the site cannot keep you signed in safely.
- Browser controls. Most browsers allow you to view, block, and delete cookies. See the help pages for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge.
- Do Not Track. We honor browser-level Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as opt-out signals for any non-essential, non-functional processing under the CCPA.

5. Changes
