This policy explains the use of cookies and similar technologies (like browser local storage) across the Fern website and app.
Website analytics
This website uses Vercel Web Analytics to count visits. According to Vercel's documentation, each page view can record the page address (with filtered query parameters), the referrer, approximate location (country, region, and city), device type, and browser and operating-system type and version. Vercel states that it does not use third-party cookies for this: a visitor is identified by a hash created from the request, and that session information is discarded after 24 hours. We do not set analytics cookies of our own.
No advertising pixels
This website does not load advertising or cross-site tracking pixels (such as the TikTok or Meta pixels), and does not send events about your visit to advertising networks.
Cookies and local storage on the website
The website does not set cookies of its own, and we do not use it to store advertising identifiers. If you use the contact form, the details you submit are sent to us and handled as described in the Privacy Policy. Our hosting provider (Vercel) keeps standard server logs, and your browser may cache the site's files.
The Fern mobile app
The Fern mobile app stores your sign-in session locally on your device (in the app's local storage) so you stay signed in. This is on-device storage, not a website cookie, and it is not used for tracking. The app also stores a random install identifier on your device, used for the first-party product events described in the Privacy Policy.
How to control cookies
You can block or clear cookies and local storage in your browser settings, or use a content blocker to stop the analytics script from loading; the site works without it.
Changes and contact
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time; when we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Questions? Email support@getfernapp.com. For more on how we handle your information, see our Privacy Policy.
