Cookie Policy

Effective Date: 2026-04-25
Last Updated: 2026-04-25

Last reviewed by external counsel: never. Drafted in-house using the FeedSense data flow audit.

1. Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how FeedSense ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar storage technologies on our marketing site (feedsense.co), our dashboard (app.feedsense.co), and the feedback widget our customers embed on their own sites.

Essential storage is required for the platform to function. Analytics storage activates only after you give explicit consent through the cookie banner. The third parties that may set or receive data from these technologies are also listed in our sub-processor list.

2. What Are Cookies and Similar Storage?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We also rely on closely related browser storage mechanisms (localStorage, sessionStorage) which behave similarly from a privacy standpoint and are covered by this policy even though they are technically not cookies.

3. How We Use Cookies and Similar Storage

3.1 Essential Storage (Required)

Required for the platform to function. Cannot be disabled.

3.2 Analytics Storage (Optional, Requires Consent)

These help us understand how the marketing site and dashboard are used so we can improve them. They are blocked until you accept analytics in the cookie banner, and can be turned off at any time via the Cookie Settings link in the footer.

We pin Mixpanel to its EU data residency endpoint and configure it not to collect IP addresses. See the sub-processor list for the regions and policies of each provider.

3.3 SDK Widget Storage (Set on Your Customers' Sites)

When you embed the FeedSense feedback widget on your own website, the SDK may store the following data in your visitors' browsers. Disclose this storage in your own privacy and cookie policies. Your visitors are your data subjects, not ours.

NameTypePurposeDuration
feedsense_offline_queuelocalStorageQueues feedback submissions when the visitor is offline; flushes when connectivity is restored24 hours (max 50 items)

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You can control your cookie preferences through:

  • The cookie consent banner that appears on your first visit (Essential Only and Accept All are equally prominent, your choice is respected as given)
  • The Cookie Settings link in the footer, which resets your saved preference and re-prompts the banner
  • Your browser settings (instructions below)

5. Browser Cookie Settings

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can usually find these in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu. For more information:

6. Third-Party Cookies and Receivers

Some of the technologies above are operated by third-party providers (Mixpanel, Grafana Faro, Google Analytics 4, Sentry). These providers may set or receive their own identifiers and are subject to their own privacy policies. See the sub-processor list for direct links to each provider's policy.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy as our analytics or monitoring stack evolves, or as our disclosure obligations change. We will update the "Last Updated" date above and, if the change is material, re-prompt the cookie banner so you can review your preferences.
