Cookie Policy
Last updated: 23 July 2026
1. What are cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are used to remember preferences, maintain sessions, and gather analytics data.
2. First-party cookies
StreetSignal does not set any first-party cookies. We do not use advertising pixels or session management cookies.
3. Analytics
StreetSignal uses Plausible Analytics and Amplitude for anonymous usage analytics, and Sentry for error monitoring. None of these services use cookies, track individuals, or share data for advertising purposes. Plausible loads for all visitors without consent as it collects no personal information (POPIA Section 11(1)(f) legitimate interest). Amplitude and Sentry are consent-gated and only load if you accept the consent banner.
| Provider | Purpose | Data collected | Cookies set | Privacy policy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plausible Analytics | Aggregate page view statistics | Page URL, referrer, browser, OS, country – no personal identifiers | None | plausible.io/privacy |
| Amplitude | Product analytics and anonymised session replay (10% of sessions) | Interaction events via autocapture, anonymised DOM snapshots – no personally identifiable information | None (uses local storage) | amplitude.com/privacy |
| Sentry | Error monitoring (error replays sampled at 10%; traces and session replay at 0.0) | Error stack traces only when enabled – sendDefaultPii disabled | None | sentry.io/privacy |
4. Third-party cookies
Our infrastructure provider Cloudflare may set technical cookies to ensure the security and performance of the platform. These cookies are strictly necessary and cannot be disabled without affecting site functionality.
| Cookie | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Bot management and security | 30 minutes |
| cf_clearance | Cloudflare | Security challenge verification | 30 minutes |
5. Local storage
StreetSignal stores three items in your browser's local storage (not cookies, but stored on your device):
| Key | Purpose | Values |
|---|---|---|
| ss_cookie_consent | Remembers your analytics consent choice | accepted or declined |
| ss_saved_suburbs | Stores your saved suburbs list so you can quickly return to suburbs you have viewed | JSON array of suburb slugs (max 10) |
| ss_visit_count | Counts your page visits to personalise the save-suburb prompt timing | Integer |
You can clear this at any time by clicking "Manage analytics" in the footer, or by clearing your browser's local storage.
6. Managing cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling Cloudflare's security cookies may prevent the site from loading correctly. For instructions on managing cookies in your browser, visit allaboutcookies.org.

We will update this policy if we introduce new cookies. Check the "Last updated" date above for the most recent version.
