Cookie Policy
Last updated September 8, 2026
This page lists every cookie and similar browser-storage technology (like local storage) that breakoutnil.com actually uses — nothing more. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle the data behind them.
Strictly necessary (always on — no consent required)
These are required for the site to function and can't be switched off. Under GDPR/ePrivacy and similar laws, strictly necessary storage doesn't require consent.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| nil_session | First-party cookie | Keeps you logged in. Signed, httpOnly — no third party can read it. | 30 days |
| theme | Local storage | Remembers your light/dark mode choice. Never leaves your browser. | Until cleared |
| cookie_consent | Local storage | Remembers whether you accepted or declined analytics cookies, so we don't ask every visit. | Until cleared |
Analytics (only if you accept the cookie banner)
We use PostHog to see which pages and features people actually use. PostHog's script doesn't load at all until you click "Accept" on the cookie banner — declining (or ignoring it) means it never runs.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| ph_* | Third-party cookie / local storage (PostHog) | Assigns an anonymous ID to recognize repeat visits and tie page-view events together. Session recording is disabled. | Up to 1 year |
Your choice
You can change your analytics choice at any time by clearing your browser's local storage for this site (the banner will reappear), or by using your browser's cookie/site settings to block cookies from breakoutnil.com and posthog.com entirely.
