Cookie Policy
Last updated: 27 March 2026
This policy explains what cookies UXScore uses, what each one does, and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. They allow the site to remember information about your visit — such as whether you are signed in — either for the duration of your session or across multiple visits. Some cookies are set by us directly; others are set by third-party services we use.
We also use browser local storage (not cookies) to remember your cookie consent preference so we do not ask again unnecessarily.
Cookies we use
Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary for the Service to function. They cannot be disabled without preventing you from using core features of UXScore. We do not request consent for these cookies because they are strictly necessary.
| Name | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|
| sus_session | Keeps you signed in to UXScore. Set as HttpOnly and Secure — not accessible to JavaScript. | 30 days |
Analytics cookies (optional)
With your consent, we use PostHog to understand how visitors interact with UXScore so we can improve the product. These cookies are only set after you click "Accept cookies" in the banner. You can withdraw consent at any time — see "Your choices" below.
| Name | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|
| ph_* | PostHog analytics. Records page views, session duration, and feature interactions to help us understand usage patterns. No personally identifiable information is included in analytics events. | 1 year |
PostHog may be subject to transfers outside the UK/EEA. See our Privacy Policy §6 for details on transfer safeguards.
Your choices
Consent banner
When you first visit UXScore, a banner asks whether you accept optional analytics cookies. Clicking Accept cookies enables PostHog tracking for your session and future visits. Clicking Reject optional keeps only the essential session cookie active.
Changing your preference
To withdraw consent or change your choice, clear the uxscore_cookie_consent entry from your browser's local storage — the banner will reappear on your next visit. You can do this via your browser's developer tools (Application → Local Storage) or by clearing all site data for uxscore.app.
Browser settings
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies through their privacy settings. Note that blocking the essential session cookie (sus_session) will prevent you from signing in to UXScore.
