What cookies are
Cookies are small text files a site stores in your browser. They let a service remember things between visits — like the fact that you're signed in, or that you prefer dark mode. We use a deliberately small set.
The cookies we use
| Category | Purpose | Type |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Keep you signed in and secure your session. The service can't work without these. | First-party |
| Preferences | Remember choices like your light/dark theme and whether you've turned analytics off. | First-party |
| Analytics | Usage and error metrics via PostHog (US region) that help us keep PureSign fast. On by default; you can turn it off. | Third-party |
| Session Replay | PostHog records on-page interactions (clicks, taps, scrolling) to help us diagnose bugs. Signatures, document previews, and file names are excluded; form inputs are masked. Turned off together with Analytics. | Third-party |
| Advertising | Shown to free-plan users only. Ad partners may set their own cookies. Pro removes ads. | Third-party |
Guest mode
When you use PureSign as a guest, we rely only on the essential and preference cookies needed for the page to function. Your uploaded files are processed in your browser and aren't tied to a tracking profile — see our Privacy Policy for how processing works.
Your consent choice
Analytics and session replay are on by default. On your first visit a banner explains this and lets you turn them off with a single switch; essential cookies stay on because the service can't work without them. You can change your choice at any time from the panel, also linked in our footer. We remember your choice in a first-party cookie for a year. When you're signed in we also save it to your account, so it applies on every device you sign in from; signing out puts this browser back to the choice it had before. Turning analytics off never blocks signing, generating, or downloading a signature — every tool works the same either way.
Advertising on the free plan
Free accounts may see ads, and ad partners can set their own third-party cookies to measure and serve them. Upgrading to Pro removes ads and the cookies that come with them. See our Terms of Service for plan details.
Managing cookies
You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, and you can block third-party cookies entirely. Note that disabling essential cookies will sign you out and may break parts of the service.
Updates to this policy
As we add or remove features, this list may change. We'll update the effective date above when it does.
