Cookie policy

Last updated October 23, 2026

Recl uses strictly-necessary cookies to keep you signed in and secure, and Google Analytics to understand how recl.app and app.recl.app are used. Recl doesn't run ads or advertising tags. If you visit recl.app from the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, analytics cookies stay off until you accept them, and you can change your choice below at any time.

1. Cookies we set

2. Local storage

The web app, mobile app, and extension use device-local storage for UI preferences and offline caching of your own data (e.g., your feed cache). This data stays on your device and is cleared when you sign out or uninstall.

3. Analytics cookies

recl.app and app.recl.app use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages and features are used (recl.app loads it through Google Tag Manager, app.recl.app directly). Google Analytics sets first-party cookies on our domains:

CookiePurposeLifetimeType
_gaTells visits apart (a random ID, not your name or email)Up to 2 yearsAnalytics
_ga_<container-id>Keeps the state of a visitUp to 2 yearsAnalytics

recl.app, app.recl.app and library.recl.app use Google Consent Mode (the choice you make on recl.app applies to all three). For visitors from the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google's analytics and advertising storage start switched off; accepting in the banner turns on analytics only. Elsewhere analytics is on by default. Advertising storage is switched off everywhere: Recl runs no ads and doesn't use this data for advertising. You can also block these cookies in your browser settings or with Google's Analytics opt-out add-on; the sites keep working either way. Google's processing is described in its privacy policy.

4. Your choice

Turn analytics cookies on or off for recl.app here. The choice is saved in the recl_consent cookie for six months; turning analytics off also deletes the Google Analytics cookies.

5. Other third-party content

Embedded content is limited to images (e.g., YouTube thumbnails fetched as plain images), which do not set cookies on Recl domains.

6. Questions
