Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us provide you with a better experience by remembering your preferences and enabling certain functionality. We also use similar technologies (such as browser storage) where described below.
How consent works on Needle: We split technologies into what is strictly necessary to run and secure the service (authentication, abuse protection, core infrastructure) - which we treat as essential - and optional analytics that help us understand usage in the aggregate. Optional analytics is off until you choose Accept all in the cookie banner, turn it on in Manage cookies in the footer, or save analytics on in the preferences panel. Choosing Essential only or closing the banner without accepting analytics keeps analytics off. For step-by-step choices, see Cookie consent below.
In addition to HTTP cookies, we may use similar browser storage (for example localStorage or sessionStorage) for the same kinds of purposes. Labels below describe the role of the technology, not only a single cookie file.
These cookies are necessary for the website to function properly and cannot be disabled:
These analytics technologies help us understand how visitors use our website. You can opt out as described in Cookie consent:
Note: Analytics cookies only track metadata (e.g., page views, button clicks, search counts). We do not track personal content, search queries, or any identifiable information.
We persist some interface choices on your device so the product feels consistent between visits. Depending on the feature, this may use cookies, local storage, session storage, or a combination - not every item below is implemented as a classic HTTP cookie.
We use third-party services that may set their own cookies or similar technologies:
Note: We do not use advertising networks, retargeting services, or marketing tracking pixels. Third-party cookies from our service providers are subject to their respective privacy policies.
