Cookie Policy
Version 2026-09-29 · last updated 29 September 2026
This is every cookie FollowThroo sets, what it's for, and how long it lasts. We don't use marketing or advertising cookies, and nothing here is used to track you across other sites.
The kinds of cookie
- Necessary (always on) — Sign-in, security, and remembering your privacy choices. The service can't work without these, so they're always on.
- Preferences (your choice) — Remembers settings you choose, like the theme. Off means the app follows your system theme each time.
- Analytics (your choice) — Google Analytics, to understand which features are used. It gets sanitized page routes and interactions — never names, emails, lead data or message content.

Preferences cookies
| Cookie | Set by | What it's for | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| ft-theme | FollowThroo | Remembers light, dark or system theme so the app opens the way you left it. Only when you pick a theme, and only if preference cookies are on. | 1 year |

Other storage
The web app keeps no data in your browser's local or session storage. Fonts are served by Google Fonts, which receives your IP address like any web request but sets no cookies. The Chrome extension and the desktop app keep their own settings on your computer; their privacy pages describe them.
Changing your choices
You can change your mind at any time — — or from “Privacy choices” at the bottom of any page, or Settings → Privacy in the app. Turning a category off removes its cookies from this browser straight away. Each choice is recorded with the version of this policy it was made against and when, so it can be shown later — without your IP address or browser details.
What changed
- 2026-09-29 — Separate choices for preference and analytics cookies, and a full list of every cookie we set.
