Fly.io's privacy policy, effective July 20, 2026, now explicitly discloses the use of two analytics services: Google Analytics and PostHog. The policy previously described only Google Analytics tracking. The updated policy clarifies that PostHog operates on public, logged-out pages only (marketing, blog, and documentation), stores data in the EU, does not enable session recording or capture keystrokes, and deletes analytics events after 12 months. For EU, UK, and Switzerland users, both services require explicit cookie consent with withdrawal options.
The updated policy discloses that Fly.io uses PostHog in addition to Google Analytics on public, logged-out pages (marketing pages, blog, and documentation). PostHog stores a random identifier and pageview data in first-party cookies, with data retained for no more than 12 months. The policy states that PostHog does not track authenticated activity or link identifiers to account information. For users in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, PostHog remains off unless you accept the cookie banner, and you can withdraw consent anytime using the 'Cookie preferences' link in the page footer.
→ Review the 'Cookie preferences' link in the page footer to manage or decline PostHog analytics if visiting from EEA, UK, or Switzerland.
→ Use Google's opt-out browser add-on if you wish to exclude yourself from Google Analytics tracking.
Now explicitly states PostHog operates on public, logged-out pages only, stores data in EU, and deletes after 12 months.
