Some cookies may be placed by third parties when you use our service, such as Google Analytics (for tracking website performance) or the underlying service used for hosting our application. These third parties collect and use data subject to their own privacy policies.

Note on GitHub: The core integration with your Open Source Project is done via GitHub's API authorization (OAuth). While this relies on your GitHub login status, we do not control the cookies GitHub places on your browser.
