Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, remember your preferences, and provide information to site owners.
Some tracking technologies (such as localStorage or session storage) perform a similar function without using cookie files. This policy covers all such technologies used on maratto.africa.
| Technology | Provider | Type | Purpose | Consent Required |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Server logs | Vercel | Functional | Hosting infrastructure, security, abuse prevention | No (necessary) |
| Vercel Analytics | Vercel | Analytics | Cookieless performance metrics, Core Web Vitals (no personal data) | No (cookieless) |
| PostHog | PostHog | Analytics | User behaviour, session tracking, product analytics | Yes (opt-in required) |
| Google Fonts | Functional | Font loading (your IP address is transmitted to Google's servers) | No (necessary) | |
| Consent preference | MARATTO | Functional | Stores your cookie consent choice in localStorage for 12 months | No (necessary) |
When you first visit the site, a cookie banner will appear at the bottom of the screen. You can:
You can change your preference at any time using the Cookie Preferences link in the footer.
To opt out of PostHog tracking independently, visit PostHog's GDPR opt-out guide ↗.
Vercel's hosting infrastructure and Google Fonts are strictly necessary for the site to function and cannot be disabled. They do not set tracking cookies.
Our localStorage consent preference record is also necessary to remember your choices and avoid showing the banner on every visit.
Vercel Analytics does not use cookies or store personal data. It measures aggregate performance (page load times, Core Web Vitals) and does not track individual users. It does not require consent under GDPR.
PostHog sets cookies and uses localStorage to track individual sessions and user behaviour. It requires your explicit opt-in consent before loading. PostHog is only initialised after you click “Accept All” or enable analytics in your preferences.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some websites. Browser-specific guides:
