Cookies Policy

Last updated: 12 March 2026

MARIA uses a short list of cookies — small text files stored by your browser — to keep you signed in and to understand how the product is used. This page lays them out plainly.

01

What are cookies

A cookie is a small file that a website asks your browser to store on your device. Each time you come back, the browser sends the file along so the site can remember things like your login session or your language preference.

Browsers offer related technologies — local storage, session storage, IndexedDB — that serve similar purposes. Everything we say below applies to those as well.

02

Cookies we use

We use two categories of cookies and storage. Essential cookies are required for the service to work and cannot be disabled without breaking the workspace. Analytics cookies help us understand product usage and can be turned off without losing functionality.

We do not use advertising cookies. We do not embed third-party trackers from social networks. The table below lists every cookie we set today.

03

Essential cookies

Essential cookies keep you signed in, prevent cross-site request forgery, remember which language and theme you chose, and store your response to the cookie banner.

Because these cookies are required to deliver a service you actively requested, they fall outside the consent regime of the ePrivacy Directive. You cannot disable them from inside MARIA — disabling them at the browser level will log you out and may break the workspace.

04

Analytics cookies

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly tool that does not build profiles of individual visitors. Plausible aggregates page views by day and country and does not store IP addresses or device identifiers.

Analytics cookies are only set after you accept them in the cookie banner. You can change your mind at any time by clearing the banner choice or by following the opt-out link in your workspace settings.

05

Your choices

When you first visit MARIA you see a banner that lets you accept or refuse analytics cookies. Your choice is stored in the cookie_consent cookie for six months, after which we ask again.

You can also manage cookies from your browser settings, where you can block all cookies, block third-party cookies, or delete cookies for a specific domain.

Blocking essential cookies will sign you out and prevent the workspace from loading. Blocking analytics cookies has no effect on the features available to you.
