Cookie policy for Plausible

Plausible and cookies

Plausible is in the analytics category. On sites we scan, it shows up through plausible.io. Its role is to count visits without a conventional tracking cookie.

Data that may be processed: Page URL, referrer, browser, and country, without a cross-site advertising cookie. The vendor describes the location as: European Union (Plausible Insights). Their public privacy or data-processing terms are at https://plausible.io/privacy.

Documented cookie or storage names in our signature: no fixed cookie name in our signature. If the scan of your URL sees a different name, the generated cookie policy lists the name that was actually set.

Plausible's script is loaded from plausible.io and is built to avoid an advertising cookie. You still name Plausible, because the page URL and referrer are sent to them. A cookie policy can say that this analytics tool is not the same thing as an ad pixel.
