Cookie Policy

Last updated: 29/08/2026

This policy explains which cookies englishwithjacob.com uses. The short version: the cookies that keep you signed in, plus analytics cookies that are only ever set if you say yes when we ask.

1. What we do not use

We want to be specific, because most cookie policies are not. This Website uses no advertising or retargeting cookies, no social media tracking pixels, and no tracking script other than the analytics described in section 2. We do not build an advertising profile of you, we do not sell browsing data, and nothing you do here follows you around other websites.

Our page fonts are served from our own servers rather than loaded from an outside provider, so simply reading the site contacts no one but us.

2. The cookies we do use

Sign-in cookies.

When you sign in, our authentication provider (Supabase) sets cookies that keep you signed in as you move between pages. Without them you would be signed out on every click. They contain a session token, not your password, and they are removed when you sign out.

If you only browse the public pages and never sign in, these are not set.

Analytics cookies — only if you accept.

We use Google Analytics to see which pages people find useful and which sites send visitors our way. It sets cookies beginning with _ga on your device, which let it recognise a returning browser and so tell a repeat visit from a new one. They last up to two years, and we have IP anonymisation switched on so we never see your full IP address.

This is the one thing on the site that is not strictly necessary, so we ask first. Until you accept, the Google Analytics script is not loaded at all — not in a limited form, not silently in the background. Nothing about your visit reaches Google. If you decline, that stays true for as long as your answer stands.

Remembering which link brought you here.

When you arrive through one of our own links — the link in our Instagram bio, a QR code on a printed flyer, a button in our newsletter — that link carries a short label saying which one it was. We keep that label in your browser's session storage while this tab stays open, so that if you reload the page or move around the site it is still attached when you send us an enquiry. It is what lets us tell that a message came from a flyer rather than from the newsletter. It is not a cookie and it is not analytics: it holds no identifier, nothing about you and nothing about what you read, it is never shared with anyone else, and your browser discards it the moment you close the tab. If you arrive by typing our address, there is no label and nothing is stored.

3. Your choice, and how to change it

Under EU and Czech law, consent is required for cookies that are not strictly necessary. The sign-in cookies are strictly necessary to provide a service you actively asked for, so they need no consent. The analytics cookies do, which is why a banner asks you on your first visit. Declining is one click, exactly like accepting, and the site works identically either way. The link label described above is not part of that question: it carries no identifier, is used only to answer the enquiry you are choosing to send us, and is gone when you close the tab.

We remember your answer for six months, then ask again. You can change it whenever you like using the Cookie settings link at the bottom of any page — that brings the question back, and choosing to decline also deletes the analytics cookies already on your device.

4. Websites we link to

Some links take you to other companies' websites — Payhip (where leaflet purchases are completed), Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube. Nothing from those services runs on our pages, but once you follow a link, that company's own cookie policy applies. Buying a leaflet happens entirely on Payhip, so their policy covers the checkout.

5. Controlling cookies

The Cookie settings link in the footer is the quickest way to withdraw or give consent for analytics. Beyond that, you can delete or block cookies in your browser settings at any time. Blocking them will not affect reading the site — but you will not be able to stay signed in.
