Cookies and storage, in plain terms.

GrownUps is in development. Until the app launches, the part of this that is actually operating is the website — the waitlist form, the contact form and site analytics. The sections describing the app explain how it will handle your information once it is available.
Your choice
When you first visit, a small banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. Nothing non-essential runs until you click Accept; if you choose Reject (or ignore the banner), no analytics cookies are set and no data goes to Google or Microsoft. Your choice is remembered in a small cookie so we don’t ask again on every page. You can change your mind at any time by clearing this site’s cookies in your browser, which brings the banner back.
Essential and functional storage
These are needed for the site to work or to remember a choice you made. They set no analytics and are used regardless of the banner.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consent choice | Cookie | Remembers whether you accepted or rejected analytics, so you aren’t asked again | ~6 months |
| Popup dismissal flag | Browser localStorage | Remembers that you closed or joined via the waitlist prompt, so it doesn’t reappear | 30 days (until cleared) |
| WordPress session | Cookie | Only for logged-in editors of the site — never set for ordinary visitors | Session / login |
Analytics cookies (only after you accept)
If you accept, we load two analytics tools that help us understand which pages are useful and where the site is confusing. Both set their own cookies and send data to their providers under their own privacy policies.
| Tool | Provider | Purpose | More |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics 4 | Aggregate traffic and page-performance measurement | Google privacy policy | |
| Microsoft Clarity | Microsoft | Aggregate usage and session-replay to find usability problems | Microsoft privacy statement |
Cookieless analytics (no cookies, no consent needed)
We also use Ahrefs Web Analytics to measure traffic to this website. It is privacy-friendly by design: it sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device, and collects no personal data — so under privacy law it needs no consent and runs on every page. You can read the Ahrefs privacy policy for the detail.
| Tool | Provider | Cookies? | Consent? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ahrefs Web Analytics | Ahrefs | None | Not required (cookieless) |
We do not use advertising or re-targeting pixels, we do not load third-party fonts (our fonts are self-hosted), and we do not embed third-party video or a chat widget. The consent banner controls the only tools that set cookies — Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity; the cookieless tool above runs regardless, because there is nothing stored on your device to consent to.
Managing cookies in your browser
Every major browser lets you see and delete cookies and block them by site. Clearing this site’s cookies resets your consent choice and shows the banner again. Blocking all cookies may stop the site from remembering your choice, so the banner may reappear on each visit.
