Cookie & Consent Notice
Last updated: 2026-06-28
This notice explains how ToolsRanks ([DOMAIN]) uses cookies and similar technologies, in line with the EU GDPR and the ePrivacy rules. It complements our Privacy Policy.
What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a site. They let a site remember actions and preferences, measure audience and attribute referrals. Some are set by us (first-party), others by third parties.
Categories of cookies we use
- Essential cookies — strictly necessary to deliver the site (security, load balancing, remembering your consent choice). These do not require consent and cannot be switched off without breaking the site.
- Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors use the site (which pages are read, where traffic comes from) so we can improve our guides. These are non-essential and load only with your consent where required.
- Affiliate cookies — set when you click an affiliate link so a partner merchant can credit us for a referral. They carry no extra cost to you and are used purely for attribution.
Consent
For non-essential cookies (analytics and affiliate), we ask for your consent before they are set, through a cookie banner shown on your first visit. You can accept all, reject all, or choose by category. Your choice is stored so we do not ask again on every page, and you can change it at any time.
How to refuse or remove cookies
- Use the cookie banner or the "manage cookies" control to reject analytics and affiliate cookies.
- Configure your browser to block or delete cookies. Every major browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) lets you do this in its privacy settings.
- Note that blocking essential cookies may stop parts of the site working.
Third-party cookies
Analytics and affiliate cookies are governed by their providers' own policies. We list our processors and international transfer safeguards in the Privacy Policy.
