Cookie policy
Last updated: 16 July 2026
Cookies are small pieces of data a website stores in your browser. Octostitch uses as few as possible: one entry to remember your cookie choice, and — only if you accept — analytics cookies from PostHog. There is no advertising, no cross-site tracking, and nothing is set until you decide.
Manage your choice
Whichever you choose, we count the choice itself as a single anonymous event — a random one-off identifier with no link to you, your device, or your browsing — so we know what proportion of visitors accept or decline, and can demonstrate that our consent process works. Nothing is stored on your device for this beyond the choice you made.
What we store
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
octostitch_cookie_consent | localStorage · strictly necessary | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics, so we don't ask again on every visit. | Until you clear your browser data |
ph_phc_…_posthog | Cookie · analytics · only with consent | Set by PostHog to recognise you between pages and visits, so we can see how the site is used (pages viewed, clicks, general device info). | 12 months |
ph_* | localStorage · analytics · only with consent | Supporting entries PostHog uses alongside its cookie (e.g. session state). | Until consent is withdrawn or browser data is cleared |
Who processes the data
Analytics data is processed by PostHog on servers in the European Union. For more detail on what analytics data we collect and your rights over it, see our privacy policy.
The checkout
Purchases happen at pay.octostitch.com, which is operated by
Lemon Squeezy, our merchant of
record. Lemon Squeezy sets its own cookies there — for example to run the
checkout and prevent fraud — under its own
privacy policy. This
page covers only the cookies set on octostitch.com itself.
Other ways to control cookies
You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings at any time. The site works fully without analytics cookies — declining doesn't change anything about how you can use it.
