What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences and understand how you interact with content.
How We Use Cookies
We use a minimal number of cookies to ensure our website functions properly and to understand how visitors use our site. Analytics cookies are on by default, and you can turn them off at any time by choosing Reject in the cookie banner.
Types of Cookies We Use
Essential Cookies (Always Active)
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
theme | Stores your dark/light mode preference | Persistent (localStorage) |
cookie-consent | Remembers your cookie preferences | Persistent (localStorage) |
cookie-consent-timestamp | Records when you gave consent (for compliance) | Persistent (localStorage) |
attribution:first-touch | Stores the first campaign or referral source that brought you to the site | Persistent (localStorage) |
attribution:session-touch | Stores current-session campaign attribution for newsletter and lead tracking | Session (sessionStorage) |
Analytics Cookies (Off After Reject)
These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website. They are active by default and turn off when you click "Reject" on our cookie banner.
| Service | Purpose | Data Collected |
|---|---|---|
| Vercel Analytics | Website traffic analysis | Page views, referrer, country (no personal data) |
| Google Analytics 4 | Analytics and conversion tracking (off after Reject) | Page views, newsletter events, CTA clicks, outbound clicks, campaign attribution |
| PostHog | Product analytics; session replay on product pages only, form inputs masked | Anonymous visitor ID, page views, clicks, offer and CTA events. Off after Reject or with Do Not Track |
| Microsoft Clarity | Shows which AI assistant searches led to a page; records clicks, scrolling, and mouse movement on every page | Anonymous visitor ID, page interactions |
Note: Vercel Analytics is privacy-focused and does not use cookies for tracking. Google Analytics 4 does not load after you choose Reject, and is used to measure on-site conversions and UTM campaign performance. Ahrefs Web Analytics sets no cookies, so it is not listed here and the cookie banner does not turn it off.
Third-Party Cookies
Some third-party services may set their own cookies when you interact with certain features:
Google Fonts
When you visit our site, your browser loads fonts from Google's servers. Google may log your IP address but does not set tracking cookies for this purpose.
ConvertKit (Newsletter)
If you subscribe to our newsletter, ConvertKit may set cookies to manage your subscription and track email engagement. These cookies are only set when you actively subscribe.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences in several ways:
On This Website
- Click "Preferences" or "Reject All" on our cookie banner when you first visit
- Use the "Manage Cookies" link in our footer to change your preferences anytime
In Your Browser
Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored
- Delete individual or all cookies
- Block cookies from specific or all websites
- Set preferences for first-party vs third-party cookies
Consult your browser's help documentation for specific instructions:
Note: Blocking essential cookies may prevent certain features of our website from working properly.
Do Not Track
Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) feature. If your browser sends a DNT signal, PostHog does not load at all. Our other analytics do not read DNT; choose Reject in the cookie banner to turn them off (Ahrefs Web Analytics sets no cookies and keeps running).
Updates to This Policy
We may update this cookie policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
