Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how SEO Wires uses cookies and similar technologies on our website and application. It works alongside our Privacy Policy and tells you what cookies we set, why we set them, and how you can manage them.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites you visit. They allow a site to recognize your device, remember your preferences, and provide a smoother experience across pages and sessions. We also use similar technologies such as localStorage, session storage, and pixel tags. We refer to all of these together as "cookies" in this policy.

2. Categories of cookies we use

Strictly necessary

These cookies are required for the Service to function. Without them you would not be able to sign in, maintain a session, or use security-sensitive features. We rely on a legitimate-interest legal basis to set these cookies; they cannot be disabled.

• Session and authentication tokens (set on sign-in, removed on sign-out)
• CSRF protection tokens
• Load-balancer affinity cookies

Functional

These cookies remember preferences such as your selected workspace, theme, or recently viewed analyses. They are not strictly necessary but improve usability.

Analytics

Aggregated, privacy-respecting analytics help us understand how the Service is used so we can improve it. We do not use analytics to identify individual visitors.

Marketing

We do not currently set marketing or advertising cookies. If we do in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent first.

3. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties acting on our behalf (for example, our hosting and analytics providers). These third parties are bound by data-processing agreements and may only use the data to provide the agreed services.

4. Managing cookies

Most browsers let you view, manage, and delete cookies through their settings. Helpful guides:

• Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies
• Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
• Safari: Preferences → Privacy
• Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

Disabling strictly necessary cookies will prevent you from signing in or using core features. Disabling functional or analytics cookies will not break the Service but may reduce convenience.

5. Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Because there is no industry-standard interpretation of DNT, we currently do not respond to it. We minimize tracking in line with our commitments in this policy and our Privacy Policy.

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above will reflect any change. Material updates will be communicated through the Service.
