Summary

  • remove PostHog from docs.plane.so and developers.plane.so
  • remove Plausible from docs.plane.so
  • keep the shared cookie consent flow for Google Analytics only
  • remove the unused PostHog environment configuration

Verification

  • pnpm check
  • VITE_POSTHOG_KEY=deprecation-sentinel pnpm build
  • verified both sites locally with the cookie consent accept and decline flows
  • verified no PostHog or Plausible scripts, globals, or network requests remain

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Changes
    • Removed optional PostHog analytics configuration and tracking from the documentation sites.
    • Removed the PostHog environment variable from example configuration files.
    • Updated cookie consent behavior so denied consent is stored without analytics opt-out actions.
    • Clarified that local search is used when optional Algolia credentials are unavailable.
    • Retained Google Analytics, Plausible-related configuration where applicable, and Algolia search settings.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change removes PostHog configuration and consent handling from both documentation sites and the shared theme. Algolia configuration remains. Cookie consent still stores denied consent and hides the banner.

Changes

PostHog removal

Layer / File(s) Summary
Documentation analytics configuration
README.md, apps/developer-docs/.env.example, apps/developer-docs/docs/.vitepress/config.mts, apps/docs/.env.example, apps/docs/docs/.vitepress/config.ts
Setup instructions and example environment files no longer reference PostHog. VitePress configurations remove PostHog loading and injection. The docs configuration also removes the Plausible script while retaining Algolia and Google Analytics settings.
Cookie consent cleanup
packages/theme/src/components/CookieConsent.vue
Cookie consent removes PostHog typings and opt-out calls. Denial still stores "denied" and hides the banner. Previously denied consent no longer invokes a consent function during mount.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8f511

Google Analytics may initialize before consent is explicitly denied, which could allow analytics activity before a user makes a choice. The PR is otherwise mergeable with owner awareness, but the consent initialization and decline paths should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merging.

Initialize denied consent before loading Google Analytics.

In both site configs, the async gtag.js script appears before the inline gtag('consent', 'default', ...) call. Move the default-consent script before the loader. Also call gtag("consent", "update", { analytics_storage: "denied" }) from decline() and the stored "denied" path.
