Cookie Policy
Last updated: 11 July 2026
Introduction
This policy explains how Litani (litani.ai) uses cookies and similar technologies. The short version: we use what's strictly necessary to make the app work, plus optional privacy-friendly analytics that only run if you accept them. No ads, no marketing trackers, ever.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your browser. They help sites remember information about your visit — like whether you're signed in. Some last only for your current session, others persist between visits.
Cookies We Use
We use very few cookies:
| Name | Provider | Purpose | Type | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
__clerk_* | Clerk | Authentication session — keeps you signed in | Essential | Session |
__stripe_* | Stripe | Payment processing — only set during checkout | Essential | Session |
ph_* | PostHog (EU) | Product analytics and session recordings, so we can see what works and fix what doesn't. Only set after you choose Accept on the cookie banner. | Analytics (optional) | 1 year |
Local Storage
We also use your browser's local storage (not cookies, but similar) for a few preferences:
flash-cards-theme— your light/dark mode preferenceflash-cards-theme-color— your selected language theme colourcookie-notice-dismissed— whether you've dismissed the cookie noticelitani-analytics-consent— your Accept or Reject choice for analytics- Various UI state preferences (sidebar collapsed, guidance dismissed, etc.)
These never leave your device and are not sent to our servers.
Analytics & Session Recordings
If you accept analytics on the cookie banner, we use PostHog (hosted in the EU) to understand how Litani is used. This includes product events (for example, that a practice session finished) and session recordings that reconstruct how you moved through the app. Three things worth knowing:
- Recordings never include your microphone audio. Nothing you say out loud is captured by analytics.
- Anything you type, and the phrases and conversations you create, are masked. They show as blank boxes in recordings.
- If you choose Reject, none of this runs and Litani works exactly the same.
Third-Party Cookies
We do not use any advertising or marketing cookies. No Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, no marketing trackers. The only third-party cookies come from Clerk (authentication), Stripe (payments), and, if you accept, PostHog (analytics).
How to Control Cookies
You can accept or reject analytics on the cookie banner when you first visit. You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or delete cookies. However, blocking essential cookies may prevent you from signing in to Litani.
Changes
We'll update this page if our cookie usage changes.
