The marketing site uses Google Tag Manager to load PostHog, our analytics tool, and the LinkedIn Insight Tag, which tells us whether our LinkedIn ads lead to sign-ups and enquiries. Both only set cookies if you choose Accept on the cookie banner. If you arrive through an affiliate’s link, we keep their referral token so they can be credited. Once you sign in, the application sets three cookies that keep you logged in and the interface working, and the same PostHog analytics cookie. We do not sell anything a cookie collects, and the only data we share is what the LinkedIn Insight Tag sends to LinkedIn after you choose Accept.

The short version
02
On the marketing site
We use Google Tag Manager to load PostHog, which shows us which pages are read and which parts of the site people use, such as the videos, the examples and the sign-up buttons. Tag Manager itself does not set cookies.
Until you choose Accept, PostHog counts your visit without setting a cookie, so it cannot recognise you from one page or visit to the next. If you choose Essential only, it stays that way.
If you choose Accept, Tag Manager also loads the LinkedIn Insight Tag. It tells LinkedIn which pages you visit and when you send a form, start the free plan or finish the fit check, so we can see which of our LinkedIn ads work and show them to people like you. LinkedIn sets its own cookies (such as li_fat_id, lms_analytics and bcookie) and handles the data under its own privacy policy. Choose Essential only and it never loads.
ph_<project>_posthog: set only if you choose Accept. Holds a random id, never your name or email, on clearahead.ai and its subdomains, so a visit to this site and a later sign-up in the application count as the same person. Expires after 12 months.
ca_ref: set only when you arrive through an affiliate’s link. Holds that affiliate’s referral token, nothing about you, on clearahead.ai and its subdomains, so the application can credit them if your company signs up. It is needed to honour our agreement with the affiliate, so it is set whatever you choose on the banner. Expires after 90 days.
03
In the application
ca_session: keeps you signed in. Expires after 30 days, or when you sign out.
ca_csrf: protects forms against cross-site request forgery. Expires with the session.
ca_prefs: remembers interface choices such as the surface you last had open and whether the AJ panel was expanded. Expires after 12 months.
ph_<project>_posthog: product analytics (PostHog), the same cookie as on the marketing site. Holds a random id; what it records never includes your name, your email or anything you write in Clearahead. Expires after 12 months.
04
What we do not do
We do not sell cookie data, we share it with no one except LinkedIn through the Insight Tag after you choose Accept, and we never record what you do in the application.
05
Session recordings on this site
If you choose Accept, PostHog may record how you move through this site, such as the pages you visit, where you scroll and what you click, so we can see which parts are unclear. Anything you type into a form is masked and never recorded. Choose Essential only and nothing is recorded.
06
Controlling them
You can clear or block cookies, or block Google Tag Manager, PostHog or LinkedIn specifically, in your browser settings or with a content-blocking extension, without affecting your ability to browse the marketing site. Blocking the application’s session cookie will stop you signing in; the application cannot work without it. Blocking the preferences cookie is harmless; the interface simply forgets your last view.

Changes to this page
If we add or remove a tag or a cookie, this page is updated first, in the same plain terms as the rest of it.
