This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, which ones we use on WebFixer.dev, and how you can control them. It should be read with our Privacy Policy.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and pixels. They can be “session” cookies (deleted when you close the browser) or “persistent” cookies (kept until they expire or you delete them).

How we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Understand how visitors use the Site (pages viewed, approximate geography, device type) so we can improve tools and content;
• Keep the Site secure and reliable (for example, remembering preferences or protecting against abuse where implemented);
• Measure whether marketing or referral traffic reaches the Site effectively;
• Serve, personalise (where permitted), and measure advertisements on the Site.

We do not use cookies to sell personal data. Where required by law, we will ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies such as analytics and advertising.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-8QZ3Q6C399) to collect aggregated statistics about Site usage. Analytics cookies are set only after you accept them in our cookie banner (or enable Analytics in Cookie settings). Google acts as a processor/service provider under its analytics terms. Data may be processed in the United States and other countries where Google operates.

Google Analytics may set cookies such as:

• _ga - distinguishes users (typically up to 2 years);
• _ga_* - persists session state for GA4 (typically up to 2 years);
• _gid - distinguishes users (typically 24 hours).

We configure Analytics to avoid collecting unnecessary personal data where possible (for example, we do not use Analytics to collect form fields you submit into audit tools as “custom events” unless we explicitly document otherwise). IP addresses may be processed by Google; you can learn about Google’s practices at Google’s Privacy Policy and opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Google advertising (AdSense)

We may use Google AdSense or related Google advertising products to show ads on WebFixer.dev. Google and its partners may use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Deliver ads based on your visits to this Site and other sites;
• Limit how often you see an ad and measure ad effectiveness;
• Store ad delivery and consent-related preferences.

Common advertising cookies set by Google may include identifiers such as __gads, __gpi, and IDE (names and lifetimes can change). For details, see Google’s cookie information and How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps.

You can control personalised ads at Google Ads Settings. Where we show a consent banner, you can accept or reject advertising cookies before they are set.

Google Search Console (site operator use)

Google Search Console (GSC) is a service we use as the operator of WebFixer.dev to monitor how our property appears in Google Search (queries, indexing coverage, sitemaps, and similar reports). GSC is accessed by us through a Google account; it is not the same as Google Analytics and typically does not place analytics cookies on your browser when you simply browse our public pages.

We may verify site ownership using a meta tag or DNS record supplied by Google. That verification tells Google we control the domain; it does not by itself track individual visitors on our behalf. Search performance data in GSC is aggregated and subject to Google’s terms.

Strictly necessary cookies

Some cookies are essential for the Site to function (for example, load balancing, security, or storing a cookie-consent choice). These do not require consent under many privacy laws because they are needed to provide the service you request.

Managing cookies

You can control cookies in several ways:

• Use your browser settings to block or delete cookies (see your browser’s help pages);
• Use the Google Analytics opt-out add-on linked above;
• Manage Google ad personalisation at adssettings.google.com;
• Where we show a cookie banner or preference centre, use it to accept or reject non-essential cookies.

Blocking all cookies may affect Site functionality. Blocking analytics cookies will not prevent you from running free audits in most cases.

Changes

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add tools, change analytics providers, or update legal requirements. Check the “Last updated” date when you visit.
