The short version
- Essential cookies keep you signed in, remember your time zone and your cookie choice, and tie a conversation with Romy to your browser. Settings cookies are set only when you change something, like light or dark mode or the sidebar.
- Analytics runs only if you choose Allow. Everything works either way.
- No advertising cookies, and nothing is shared with advertisers.
What cookies are

Your choice about analytics
On your first visit you choose whether to allow analytics. Until you choose Allow, no analytics cookies are set and no analytics run. Allow also turns on page and performance measurement by our hosting provider, which sets no cookies.
Help us improve Rolebranch?
Allow optional product analytics. Everything works either way.
The choice you see on your first visit, on rolebranch.com and in the app. Change it any time from the footer or the app's Settings.
