  • Security and fraud prevention
  • Remembering your cookie preferences

Optional

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics, PostHog, and Vercel Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our website. This helps us:

  • Improve our running plan generation algorithm
  • Understand which features are most valuable to runners
  • Identify and fix issues with the user experience
  • Track traffic sources and marketing effectiveness
  • Monitor website performance and errors

Analytics data is used to understand product usage, debug experience issues, and improve the Service. You can opt out of analytics tracking at any time.

Optional

Marketing Cookies

  • Track conversions from advertising campaigns (e.g. sign-ups, purchases)
  • Build remarketing audiences to show you relevant ads on other websites
  • Measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns
  • Improve ad targeting using hashed first-party data (Enhanced Conversions)

Marketing cookies are disabled by default. You can opt out of personalized advertising at adssettings.google.com.
