This Cookie Policy explains how the BEAM NOTE website at beamnoteapp.com uses cookies and similar technologies. It supplements our Privacy Policy at beamnoteapp.com/privacy.
Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. “Similar technologies” means anything else that stores or reads information on your device, such as local storage and session storage. We use the word “cookies” for all of these below.
The BEAM NOTE browser extension does not set cookies and does not track your browsing. It stores your notes and settings in the browser's extension storage on your device so it can work, and syncs them to your account when you are signed in.
We keep the website's use of cookies to a minimum.

We do not use advertising or targeting cookies, and we do not allow third parties to place tracking cookies on our website. The only third party that may set a cookie on our website is our analytics provider, PostHog, listed above.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or another place where prior consent is required, we ask for your consent before setting any non-essential cookie. You can give, refuse, or withdraw consent at any time through the cookie banner or the cookie settings link at the bottom of any page; withdrawing stops further collection from that point. Strictly necessary cookies do not require consent.
