Required for the website to function. These cannot be disabled.

2. Functional Cookies (Optional)

3. Analytics Cookies (Optional)

Help us understand how visitors use StartupGPT:

• Page views and navigation patterns
• Feature usage statistics
• Error tracking and debugging
• Session recordings (mouse movements, clicks, page transitions) via PostHog

We use Sentry for error tracking and PostHog for session recording and product analytics. All PostHog data is stored in the EU. Password fields are always masked in recordings. No payment card data is ever captured.

PostHog sets ph_* cookies (e.g. ph_<project_id>_posthog) in localStorage for session persistence.

4. Marketing Cookies (Optional - Off by Default)

Used for advertising and marketing:

• Google Ads conversion tracking
• Remarketing and audience targeting

Only active if you explicitly consent.
