Cookie Policy
Effective date · 18 May 2026
This Cookie Policy describes the cookies and similar storage technologies (collectively, “cookies”) that PulseSignal uses on pulsesignal.co, www.pulsesignal.co, and app.pulsesignal.co. It supplements our Privacy Policy and forms part of the agreement under our Terms of Service.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember you between page loads, keep you signed in, and (with your consent) understand how people are using the site in aggregate. We also use related technologies such as localStorage and sessionStorage; this policy covers all of them under the same rules.
Categories of cookies we use
- Essential cookies. Required for the Service to function, for example, to keep you signed in or to remember your cookie-banner choice. We rely on these on the basis of legitimate interest (and where consent applies, the “strictly necessary” exemption); you cannot opt out of essential cookies and continue using the Service.
- Analytics cookies. Help us understand aggregate traffic to the marketing site (pulsesignal.co). We use Google Analytics 4 with IP-address truncation enabled. Analytics cookies are set only after you opt in via the cookie banner.
- Functional cookies. Remember preferences such as the dark-mode toggle or language. We do not currently use any third-party functional cookies. If we add one we will update this page and the banner before it takes effect.
- Marketing cookies. We do not currently set marketing or advertising cookies. We do not use cross-site tracking pixels, retargeting, or third-party ad networks.
The specific cookies we set
| Name | Category | Purpose | Duration | Party |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ps_auth | Essential | Keeps you signed in to the app. Without this cookie you cannot use the product. | Session, up to 30 days | First-party |
| ps_cookie_consent | Essential | Remembers your cookie-banner choice so we do not show it again on every page load. | 12 months | First-party |
| ps_privacy_banner_dismissed_v2026-04-25 | Essential | Remembers that you dismissed the most recent privacy-policy update banner. | Until the banner expires | First-party |
| _ga | Analytics | Google Analytics 4, used to distinguish unique visitors so we can understand aggregate traffic. | 2 years | Third-party (Google) |
| _ga_* | Analytics | Google Analytics 4, used to persist session state for a single Google property (the PulseSignal site). | 2 years | Third-party (Google) |
Managing your preferences
You can change your cookie preferences at any time using the cookie banner at the bottom of any marketing page. Click Customize to choose which categories you allow. If the banner is not visible, clear the ps_cookie_consent cookie from your browser and reload the page.
You can also block cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you reject all cookies, reject third-party cookies only, or delete existing cookies. If you block essential cookies the Service will not work; if you block analytics cookies the Service will continue to work normally.
We respect the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as an opt-out of analytics and any sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, regardless of your cookie-banner choice.
Do Not Track
Web browsers can send a Do Not Track signal, but there is no industry-standard interpretation of it. We do not change behaviour based on Do Not Track. We do honour the Global Privacy Control signal as described in the previous section.
Changes to this policy
We will update this policy whenever the set of cookies we use changes. The effective date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
