Current use: essential storage and optional analytics
Ranking Checker uses storage needed for security, requested settings and payments. Optional Google Analytics 4 is loaded on public pages only after you choose Accept analytics. Reject optional keeps analytics disabled. We do not use advertising pixels or cross-site marketing trackers.
What may be stored
The product video starts when you press play, with sound enabled. You can mute it using the video controls. The page does not store a playback preference or viewing history.
Cloudflare Turnstile security checks
When Turnstile is enabled, the email sign-in, registration and password recovery request forms load Cloudflare Turnstile to help prevent automated abuse. Cloudflare processes technical browser and device information and the visitor IP address for this security check. Our server sends the challenge token to Cloudflare for verification; it does not send your password or the email form contents in that verification request. This integration is used for account security, not advertising or visit analytics. Password recovery links expire after 30 minutes and can only be used once.
Google sign-in
The login and registration pages load Google Identity Services when Google sign-in is enabled. Google may use security and account-session cookies or equivalent browser features to display the sign-in button and complete the Google sign-in you request. This integration is used for authentication, not advertising measurement. You can also sign in with email and password.
Google Analytics 4
Analytics cookies (_ga and _ga_*) distinguish browsers and sessions after your explicit acceptance. Their lifetime is limited to 180 days. The choice and its timestamp are stored locally under ranking_checker_consent_v1 for up to 180 days. Google Analytics event-level retention is set to 2 months. Google signals and advertising personalization are disabled. We do not use this integration for advertising or send account IDs, email addresses or custom conversion events. Page and referrer URLs are measured without query strings or fragments.
DataForSEO
DataForSEO is used server-side to retrieve ranking and keyword data. It does not place cookies in your browser through Ranking Checker.
Changing your choice
Accept analytics and Reject optional are equally accessible. Open Cookie settings in the footer at any time to change your choice. Rejecting after acceptance disables analytics, removes its first-party cookies and reloads the page. Essential storage remains active. Your choice is remembered for up to 180 days.
Browser controls
You can remove existing cookies or block future cookies in your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies can prevent sign-in, account security or checkout from working.
