Cookie Policy
What cookies and similar tools seosage.co uses, why, and how to choose. Last updated: 2 October 2026.
The short version
- Only this website uses cookies. The SEOSage desktop app does not.
- If you click Accept, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity set cookies to count visits and record how the site is used. If you click Decline, they set none.
- We may show ads for our own products. Advertising cookies and pixels are used only after you click Accept.
- You can change your choice at any time with “Cookie settings” at the bottom of any page.
What are cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website saves in your browser. Some websites also use similar tools, such as your browser’s local storage or small counting scripts. We use the word “cookies” for all of these on this page.
Your choice
The first time you visit, a notice asks you to Accept or Decline. In the EU, the UK and Switzerland, analytics stays off until you accept. In other places it is on unless you decline. Your choice is remembered in your browser. To change it, click Cookie settings in the footer.
What we use
| Name | From | What it does | Lasts | When it is set |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ss_consentbrowser storage | SEOSage | Remembers whether you clicked Accept or Decline, so we do not ask again. | Until you clear your browser data | When you make a choice |
_ga | Google Analytics | Tells visitors apart so we can count visits and pages. | 2 years | After you accept (or by default outside the EU, UK and Switzerland, unless you decline) |
_ga_ plus our property ID | Google Analytics | Keeps track of a visit while you browse. | 2 years | Same as above |
_clck, _clsk, MUID and similar | Microsoft Clarity | Records how visitors use the site (clicks, scrolling and page views) as anonymous session recordings and heatmaps, so we can fix confusing pages. Text you type into forms is hidden. | Up to 1 year | Same as Google Analytics: after you accept (or by default outside the EU, UK and Switzerland, unless you decline) |
_gcl_*, _fbp, _uetsid, _rdt_uuid and similar | Ad partners: Google, Microsoft (Bing), LinkedIn, Reddit, Quora, Meta and 6sense | Help us show ads for our own products and see whether they work. | Up to about 3 months | Only after you accept, and only when we are running ad campaigns |
| Push subscription browser storage and service worker | Notix | Lets us send you the web push notifications you allowed, such as news about new features. | Until you turn notifications off or clear site data | Only if you click Allow in the browser prompt |
Tools that do not use cookies
A few of our analytics tools, such as Cloudflare Web Analytics, count page views and where visits come from without using cookies. We checked this site and saw no cookies from them. They run whether you accept or decline, because they do not identify you.
Google Tag Manager loads our tools. If you decline, Google Analytics sets no cookies, but Google can still receive a limited signal that a page was opened, without cookies or personal identifiers (this is how Google Consent Mode works).
What we do not use
- No advertising cookies or pixels unless you click Accept. Your crawl and Search Console data are never used for ads.
- No cookies on the feature request form. It only keeps a short-lived count on our server to stop spam.
- No cookies in the SEOSage desktop app.
