Cookies
A few are needed to run pathpipe. One is optional and stays off until you say yes.
Last updated 26 October 2026
Two kinds of cookies
Strictly necessary cookies make pathpipe work. French law exempts them from consent, so they are always on.
Analytics cookies are optional. They are only set if you say yes, and saying no changes nothing about the service.
Strictly necessary
Nothing here tracks you or leaves pathpipe.

Analytics, only if you accept
If you accept, PostHog measures which pages and features are used and where people get stuck. Data goes straight to PostHog’s servers in the EU. It is tied to your account id, never to your name or email address.
Decline, and the analytics script is never loaded.

Open at any time, also linked in the footer. Withdrawing is as easy as accepting. Your choice is kept for 6 months, then you are asked again.
No advertising cookies
pathpipe sells nothing and advertises nothing, so there are no advertising, retargeting or cross-site tracking cookies to explain here.
