What We Use and Why
Essential session management
ELA Map uses session cookies set by our authentication provider (Supabase) to keep you logged in while you use the app. These are strictly necessary — without them, the app cannot function. They are not used for any tracking or analytics purpose and are deleted when your session ends or you log out.
No consent is required for these cookies because they are necessary to deliver the service.
Analytics — PostHog
We use PostHog to understand how ELA Map is being used so we can improve it. PostHog collects:
- Which pages and features you interact with
- How long you spend in the app
- Technical details about your device and browser
- General geographic region (derived from your IP address — PostHog does not receive precise GPS location)
This data is used only to improve ELA Map. It is not used for advertising, it is not sold, and it is not shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
Error tracking — Sentry
We use Sentry to catch and fix bugs. When something goes wrong in the app, Sentry captures what error occurred, limited context about what you were doing, and your device and browser information. This data is used only for diagnosing technical problems.
What We Don't Use
- No advertising cookies. ELA Map does not serve ads and does not use advertising networks or tracking pixels.
- No social media trackers. We do not embed Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, or similar tools.
- No cross-site tracking. We do not track you on other websites.
How to Opt Out
Opting out of PostHog analytics
You can opt out of PostHog analytics tracking at any time:
- Go to Settings in your ELA Map account
- Find the Privacy section
- Toggle off "Help improve ELA Map with analytics"
When you opt out, PostHog will stop collecting new data about your session. You can also use the cookie preferences available via the cookie banner that appears on your first visit.
Browser-level controls
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time:
Do Not Track
Some browsers send a "Do Not Track" signal to websites. ELA Map does not currently alter its behavior in response to Do Not Track signals, as no uniform standard for honoring them has been established. We rely instead on the opt-out mechanism described above.
