Third-Party Cookies Policy
Last Updated: November 12, 2025
This Third-Party Cookies Policy explains how .git ("we", "our", or "us") uses third-party cookies and similar tracking technologies across our website, developer tools, and services. This policy supplements our main Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
1. What Are Third-Party Cookies?
Unlike first-party cookies set directly by .git, third-party cookies are placed by external services we partner with to provide analytics, security, performance monitoring, and targeted functionality. These cookies are governed by the respective privacy policies of those third parties.
2. Why We Use Them
We partner with trusted third-party providers to enhance our platform's reliability, security, and developer experience. These services help us:
- Monitor site performance and deployment success rates
- Detect and prevent security threats and DDoS attacks
- Analyze aggregated usage patterns to improve our CI/CD pipelines
- Provide seamless authentication and integrations

Note: We do not sell your personal data. Third-party cookies used on .git are strictly for infrastructure, security, and product improvement purposes. No behavioral advertising cookies are deployed on our platform.
