# Privacy Consent & Cookie Compliance

Understand cookie management, analytics opt-in, and URL tracking protections.

## Granular Consent Banner

- On first launch, Basalt presents a privacy consent banner.
- If you reject analytics cookies, Basalt blocks external analytics loaders and deletes existing tracking cookies (like Google Analytics `_ga`, `_gid`, `_gat`).

## URL Obfuscation

To protect your privacy, Basalt automatically strip and obfuscate private slug keys (such as note sharing links, verification strings, or password resets) from internal analytics logs before routing events.
