Cookies & tracking

Cookies & Tracking

Plain-English summary of what linkmesh.io stores in your browser. There isn't much.

Last reviewed: 2026-05-20.

What we set

linkmesh-consent — localStorage, always

A single localStorage entry storing your cookie-banner decision (granted or denied). Not a cookie — never sent over the network. Stays in your browser until you clear site data. Clearing it re-shows the banner on your next visit.

Google Analytics cookies — only after Accept

If you click Accept on the banner, Google's tag sets the following first-party cookies:

Cookie Purpose Expiry
_ga Distinguishes browser sessions for Analytics 2 years
_ga_F97CQD8TV5 GA4 container session state 2 years

These cookies are first-party (set on linkmesh.io itself), not third-party trackers. They contain a randomly-generated client ID, not your identity.

If you click Decline, none of these cookies are set, and the Google Analytics tag operates under Consent Mode v2 in denied state — no measurement is recorded.

PostHog cookies — only after Accept

We also use PostHog (EU Cloud, hosted in the EU) for basic product analytics. If you click Accept, PostHog sets the following first-party cookie:

Cookie Purpose Expiry
ph_<project>_posthog Stores a randomly-generated device ID and session state for PostHog analytics 1 year

First-party (set on linkmesh.io), containing a random device ID, not your identity. Until you Accept, PostHog runs opted out with in-memory storage only — nothing is written to your browser. If you click Decline, PostHog stays opted out and sets no cookie.

What we don't set

  • No advertising or remarketing signals. ad_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization are permanently denied in our Google Tag configuration — they are not conditional on the banner, they are off.
  • No third-party social trackers (no Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Twitter / X pixel, TikTok pixel).
  • No chat-widget or session-recording tools (no Hotjar, FullStory, Drift, Intercom, etc.).
  • No A/B-testing platforms.

Change or revoke your consent

  1. Open your browser's developer tools, go to Application → Local Storage → linkmesh.io, and delete the linkmesh-consent entry.
  2. Reload any LinkMesh page — the banner reappears.

Or use your browser's standard cookie settings to block analytics cookies — the site continues to work either way.
