Cookie Policy

Last updated: 23 August 2026

This policy explains how Fundermatcher (operated by Gradingly Limited, a company registered in England & Wales under company number 12771192) uses cookies and similar technologies, in accordance with the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies are

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. We use two kinds: essential cookies, which the service cannot work without, and optional analytics cookies, which we only set with your consent.

2. Essential cookies (always on)

These are exempt from consent because the service cannot function without them.

CookiePurposeDuration
sb-* (Supabase)Keeps you signed in securely (authentication session).Session / up to 1 year
fm_cookie_consentRemembers the cookie choice you made in the banner.12 months

3. Optional analytics cookies (only with your consent)

If you choose Accept all, we use PostHog (hosted in the EU) to understand how the site is used and to watch for errors, including product analytics and session replay. If you choose Essential only (or make no choice), none of these cookies are set and session replay stays off — we then only collect the cookieless usage statistics described in section 4.

CookiePurposeDuration
ph_* (PostHog)Product analytics: pages visited, features used, and session replay that helps us fix problems.Up to 12 months

4. Cookieless usage statistics (no cookies involved)

To understand basic site usage — like how many people view a page — we count page views for all visitors using a cookieless method: nothing is stored on or read from your device, and without your consent we do not link this data to your account. Because there is no cookie, you are counted as a new visitor each time you return. This processing relies on our legitimate interest in understanding aggregate use of the site; see our Privacy Policy for details.

5. Changing your choice

You can change your mind at any time. Clearing your choice below brings the cookie banner back so you can pick again. You can also delete cookies through your browser settings.
