Description

The application utilizes PostHog for user analytics to understand usage patterns and improve the product. This involves the use of cookies or similar tracking technologies. To comply with privacy regulations (like GDPR, CCPA), explicit user consent is required before enabling such tracking.

Current Behavior

  • PostHog analytics tracking might be active by default without obtaining explicit user consent via a dedicated banner.
  • Users are not clearly informed about the use of analytics cookies.
  • Lack of a consent mechanism poses a potential privacy compliance risk.

Expected Behavior

  • A cookie consent banner is displayed to users upon their first visit or when consent status is unknown.
  • The banner clearly explains that cookies are used for analytics purposes.
  • Users have clear options to accept or reject non-essential analytics cookies.
  • PostHog tracking scripts are only loaded and activated after the user provides explicit consent.
  • The user's consent preference is stored and respected on subsequent visits.
