Cookie Policy
Last updated: November 2026
RepoLens keeps cookies and browser storage to a minimum. We use a few functional items that the site needs to work, and optional Google Analytics and Meta advertising measurement that we only switch on if you consent.
Functional (always on)
These store small preferences in your browser. They are not used for tracking. Only the arrival record ever leaves your device, and only when you sign up for alerts.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Set |
|---|---|---|---|
| rl-theme | Local storage | Remembers your light/dark theme choice. | Always (essential for the feature) |
| rl-consent | Local storage | Remembers your analytics-cookie choice so we don’t ask again. | When you choose Accept or Decline |
| repolens.signupSource | Local storage | Remembers the campaign tags and referring site of your first visit. Sent to us only if you sign up for alerts, to record how you found RepoLens. | On your first visit |
Analytics and ad measurement (with consent)
Set only after you click Accept on our consent banner. Decline and these are never written, analytics runs in a restricted, cookieless mode instead.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Set |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga, _ga_* | Cookie (Google Analytics 4) | Distinguishes visitors and sessions for aggregate usage stats. | Only after you Accept analytics |
| _fbp, _fbc | Cookie (Meta pixel) | Lets Meta measure visits and alert signups that came from our Facebook and Instagram ads. | Only after you Accept |
Managing your choice
To change your mind after choosing, clear this site’s data (cookies and storage) in your browser settings; you’ll be asked again on your next visit. For more on how we handle data, see our Privacy Policy.
