Cookie Policy

Adapted from the Basecamp open-source policies, used under CC BY 4.0.

This policy explains how Ziptask uses cookies and similar browser storage technologies.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit. We also use browser local storage, which works similarly but stores data locally rather than sending it with every request.

What we use

Authentication tokens

When you log in, Ziptask stores a secure authentication token in your browser's local storage. This token is used to keep you signed in between sessions. It is never shared with any third party and is deleted when you log out or when it expires.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use our marketing site — which pages are visited, how long people stay, and where they come from. GA is only loaded after you accept cookies. If you decline, no GA cookies are placed and no analytics data is collected. See Google's privacy policy for details on what GA collects.

Error tracking (Sentry)

We use Sentry for error tracking. Sentry may store a small session identifier in your browser to help associate related errors. This data is used solely to diagnose and fix technical issues — it is not used for advertising or profiling. See Sentry's privacy policy for details.

What we don't use

• Advertising cookies — we do not place any advertising or behavioral tracking cookies
• Third-party analytics — we do not currently use third-party analytics services by default
• Social media pixels — we do not use tracking pixels from any social media platform

Your choices

You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies and clear local storage at any time. Be aware that blocking authentication storage will prevent you from staying signed in to Ziptask.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our use of cookies or storage technologies changes. We will post updates here and revise the "last updated" date at the top of the page.
