# Cookie Policy

Source: https://seofix.ai/legal/cookies · Last updated: 8 October 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how **Inhype Live Limited**, trading as SEOFix, uses cookies and similar technologies on seofix.ai and in the SEOFix web application. Read it together with our [Privacy Policy](https://seofix.ai/legal/privacy).

## Summary

- SEOFix uses **no advertising cookies, no third-party analytics and no tracking pixels**.
- Most of our cookies are **strictly necessary**: they keep you signed in, protect forms against forgery and carry an anonymous preview audit into your account.
- One first-party cookie records how you first found us (referring website and campaign), so we can understand which channels bring users. It does not track you on other websites.
- Because we use no non-essential third-party cookies, we do not show a cookie banner. You can still block or delete cookies in your browser (see [Managing cookies](#managing-cookies)).

## What cookies are

Cookies are small text files a website stores in your browser. They let the site remember information between pages or visits, for example that you are signed in. Similar technologies include the browser's local storage, which we also describe below.

## Cookies we set

### Strictly necessary

These cookies are needed for the Service to work and for security. Under the UK Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the EU ePrivacy Directive they do not require consent.

| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| `__Secure-authjs.session-token` | Keeps you signed in. It is an encrypted session token. | Up to 30 days, renewed while you use the app |
| `__Host-authjs.csrf-token` | Protects sign-in forms against cross-site request forgery | Session |
| `__Secure-authjs.callback-url` | Remembers where to send you after you sign in | Session |
| `seofix_preview` | Links your browser to the anonymous preview audit you started, so you can watch it and claim it | 24 hours |
| `seofix_preview_notified` | Remembers that we already told you about your claimed preview, so the message is not repeated | 24 hours |
| `seofix_claim` | Carries a preview into your account while you sign in | 10 minutes |
| `seofix_first_signin` | Marks a brand-new sign-in so onboarding shows the right next step | 10 minutes |
| `seofix_pending_site` | Remembers the website you typed before signing up, so we can add it after sign-up | 1 hour |
| `seofix_pending_plan` | Remembers the plan you picked on the pricing page while you sign up | 1 hour |

### First-party measurement

| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| `seofix_attribution` | On your first visit only, records how you arrived: the referring website (host name only, for example `chatgpt.com` or `google.com`), the page you landed on and any campaign (UTM) parameters. If you sign up, this is saved with your account so we can see which channels bring users. It is never shared with third parties and does not track you across other websites. | 30 days |

We rely on our legitimate interest for this cookie because it has minimal privacy impact. If you prefer, you can block cookies for seofix.ai in your browser. The Service still works without it.

## Local storage

The web app uses your browser's local storage for a small convenience preference: which Cloudflare setup option you last picked for a site ("automatic" or "do it myself"). It stays in your browser, is never sent to us, and you can clear it with your browser's site data settings.

## Cookies set by third parties

Some third parties set their own cookies when you use features that involve them. They control those cookies under their own policies.

| Third party | When | Purpose | Policy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Any visit to seofix.ai, when Cloudflare's security features need it (for example `__cf_bm`, `cf_clearance`) | Bot detection and security, strictly necessary | [cloudflare.com/cookie-policy](https://www.cloudflare.com/cookie-policy/) |
| Stripe | On Stripe Checkout pages (checkout.stripe.com) when you pay | Payment processing and fraud prevention | [stripe.com/cookie-settings](https://stripe.com/cookie-settings) |
| Google | On Google's sign-in and consent pages (accounts.google.com) when you sign in with Google or connect Search Console | Authentication and security | [policies.google.com/technologies/cookies](https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies) |

## Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

We do not track you across other websites, and we do not sell or share personal data for advertising. A Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal therefore does not change how seofix.ai behaves.

## Managing cookies

You can view, block and delete cookies in your browser settings:

- **Chrome**: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies / See all site data
- **Firefox**: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- **Safari**: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- **Edge**: Settings → Cookies and site permissions

If you block strictly necessary cookies, you will not be able to sign in, and the preview flow will not work.

## Changes to this policy

If we add a cookie or start using a new kind of cookie, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date. We will ask for your consent before setting any cookie that requires it.
