Functional Cookies: Used to remember your preferences (like theme). Disabling these will reset your preferences on each visit.
Analytics Cookies: We do not currently use third-party analytics cookies. If we add analytics in the future, we will update this policy and notify you.
4. Third-Party Cookies
RankSpy does not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies. We do not share cookie data with advertisers or data brokers.
Stripe: When you proceed to checkout, Stripe may set cookies on its own domain (checkout.stripe.com) for fraud prevention and payment processing. These cookies are governed by Stripe's Cookie Policy.
5. Do Not Track
RankSpy respects Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals. Since we do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies, your browsing activity on our platform is not tracked across other websites regardless of your DNT setting.
6. Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
- Block third-party cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites
- Block all cookies
- Delete all cookies when you close the browser
Please note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from using the RankSpy platform.
7. Local Storage
In addition to cookies, we use browser local storage to cache non-sensitive UI preferences and temporary data for performance. Local storage data does not leave your browser and is not sent to our servers with requests.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in technology or legal requirements. Material changes will be communicated through the platform or by updating this page.
