Cookie Policy

Effective 16 April 2026

This Cookie Policy explains what cookies PRs.md (the “Service”) uses, why we use them, and how you can control them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. They allow websites to remember information between page loads and visits. Some cookies are essential for the site to function; others help us understand how the site is used.

2. Essential cookies

These cookies are required for the Service to work. They cannot be disabled without breaking core functionality.

CookiePurposeDuration
authjs.session-tokenAuthenticates your session via GitHub OAuth (NextAuth)Session / 30 days
authjs.csrf-tokenProtects against cross-site request forgery attacksSession
authjs.callback-urlRemembers where to redirect after sign-inSession
prs-cookie-consentStores your cookie preference choice1 year

3. Analytics cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors use the Service so we can improve it. They are only set if you click “Accept all” in the cookie consent banner.

CookieProviderPurposeDuration
_gaGoogle AnalyticsDistinguishes unique visitors2 years
_gidGoogle AnalyticsDistinguishes unique visitors (24h window)24 hours
_gatGoogle AnalyticsThrottles request rate1 minute

Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights are also used but operate without cookies — they collect anonymised, aggregated performance data only.

4. How to manage cookies

When you first visit PRs.md, a banner at the bottom of the page lets you choose between “Accept all” (essential + analytics) and “Essential only” (no analytics tracking).

You can change your preference at any time by clearing the prs-cookie-consententry from your browser's local storage (or clearing cookies for this site) — the banner will reappear on your next visit.

Most browsers also let you block or delete cookies from their settings. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent sign-in from working.

5. Third-party cookies

PRs.md does not embed advertising trackers or social media widgets that set third-party cookies. The only external service that may set cookies is Google Analytics, and only when you have consented to analytics cookies.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when it was last revised.
