What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners information about how their site is being used.

Cookies can be “persistent” or “session” cookies. Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, while session cookies are deleted when you close your browser.

How We Use Cookies

  • Essential functionality: To enable core features of our platform, such as keeping you logged in and remembering your preferences.
  • Authentication: To verify your identity when you sign in to your account and maintain your session security.
  • Preferences: To remember your settings and preferences, such as language, region, and display options.
  • Analytics: To understand how visitors interact with our website, which pages are most popular, and how we can improve our services.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the basic functionality of our website. These cookies enable core features such as:

  • User authentication and session management
  • Security features to protect your account
  • Load balancing to ensure website performance
  • Remembering items in your workflow or forms

Because these cookies are strictly necessary, they cannot be disabled without affecting the functionality of our services. By using our website, you agree to the use of essential cookies.

Analytics Cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website and product by collecting usage information after you accept analytics cookies. This data helps us improve our services and user experience.

We use PostHog, Microsoft Clarity, and Vercel Analytics to collect information about:

  • The number of visitors to our website
  • Which pages are visited and how long visitors spend on each page
  • How visitors navigate through the website
  • Where visitors come from (referral sources)
  • Technical information such as browser type and device

We sanitize URLs before sending analytics events so authentication tokens, email addresses, and similar identifiers in query strings are stripped at the source.

Marketing Cookies

We use HubSpot marketing cookies on marketing pages after you accept marketing consent. These cookies help us understand how visitors found Mato and connect website activity with sales conversations when a visitor later identifies themselves.

Marketing cookies are used for:

  • Measuring visits to marketing pages
  • Preserving original-source and campaign attribution
  • Connecting known visitors with sales conversations
  • Measuring the effectiveness of marketing campaigns

You can opt out of marketing cookies through the Mato cookie banner or your browser settings.
