Cookie policy for PostHog

Which cookies PostHog sets and how to describe them without a generic banner.

PostHog and cookies

PostHog is in the analytics category. On sites we scan, it shows up through posthog.com, i.posthog.com. Its role is to measure product usage and, if enabled, record sessions.

Data that may be processed: Page views, clicks, feature-flag evaluations, and a device identifier. Session replay is included if you turned that product on. The vendor describes the location as: The PostHog region you chose (US or EU cloud, or your own host). Their public privacy or data-processing terms are at https://posthog.com/privacy.

Documented cookie or storage names in our signature: ph_phc_*. If the scan of your URL sees a different name, the generated cookie policy lists the name that was actually set.

PostHog's cloud script is served from a host such as us.i.posthog.com or eu.i.posthog.com, and the browser keeps a key shaped like ph_<project>_posthog. Say whether session replay is on. Replay is a different disclosure from a page-view counter.

Group them

Put sign-in and payment storage in one group. Put analytics, session replay, and advertising in another. A visitor should be able to tell which of those groups this service belongs to. TermsPack files each detected vendor into those groups from the signature list.
