Cookies policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to GitAlert, owned and operated by YS Progress Inc., a corporation incorporated in Ontario, Canada. Our website (gitalert.com) uses cookies. Essential cookies are required for the site to operate. Optional analytics cookies load by default and can be switched off at any time through the consent banner ("Essential only") or the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer; we also honour the browser Global Privacy Control signal.

2. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites you visit. They help improve your experience by remembering your preferences and gathering information about how you use the site.

3. How We Use Cookies

Our site uses the following categories of cookies:

• Essential Cookies: Necessary for the website's operation — session handling, security (CSRF protection), and authentication. These are always set.
• Analytics Cookies: Set by Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to help us understand how the website is used. These load by default and stop as soon as you choose "Essential only" in the consent banner, or if your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal.
• Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences (for example, your cookie choice itself) and support features such as the support chat, which is self-hosted and follows the same setting as analytics.

4. Your Consent

Analytics cookies and the support chat load by default so the site works and improves without an extra click. A banner tells you this on your first visit and offers two equal choices: "That's OK" and "Essential only". Choosing "Essential only" turns off analytics and the chat, leaving only the cookies necessary to operate the site. We also honour the browser Global Privacy Control signal, which we treat the same as "Essential only". You can change your choice at any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer; the new choice applies from that moment on. Note that scripts already loaded in the current page cannot be fully unloaded — we tell Google to deny consent immediately and they stay off from your next page view.

5. Changes to the Cookies Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time. The latest version will always be posted on our website.
