This policy explains the cookies and similar technologies used on seo24x7.com. It forms part of our Terms of Use and should be read with our Privacy Policy.
1. The short version
We use a small number of cookies, all of them for making the Site work. We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not run Google Analytics or any third-party behavioural-tracking script. No cookie on this site follows you to other websites.
2. What a cookie is
A cookie is a small text file a website asks your browser to store and send back on later visits. Related technologies — local storage, session storage — do a similar job inside your browser. We describe both here.
3. Cookies we set
theme— Purpose: Remembers whether you chose light or dark mode, so the page renders correctly on first paint. · Type: Preference · How long: 1 years24_session— Purpose: Signs you in to the community. Contains a random token only; the session record itself is stored on our servers. HttpOnly, so scripts on the page cannot read it. · Type: Strictly necessary · How long: 30 days from sign-incw_auth— Purpose: A simple readable flag telling the page you are signed in, so it can show your account menu without an extra server request. Contains no personal information. · Type: Strictly necessary · How long: 30 days from sign-insite_preview— Purpose: Only set if you are given a preview link while part of the Site is gated. Lets you see the gated content. · Type: Strictly necessary · How long: Session
The two sign-in cookies are set only after you sign in, and are cleared when you sign out.
4. Cookies set by services we use
- Cloudflare — Purpose: Security, bot detection and traffic management for the network serving this site. Cloudflare may set its own cookies (for example
__cf_bm) as part of protecting the Site. · When: Any visit - Cloudflare Turnstile — Purpose: If anti-bot verification is enabled on a form, Turnstile processes a verification token and your IP address to confirm you are not a bot. It is a privacy-preserving alternative to a CAPTCHA and does not track you across sites. · When: When enabled, on sign-up and submission forms
- Google — Purpose: If you sign in with Google, Google sets cookies on its own domains as part of its sign-in flow. Those cookies are governed by Google's privacy policy, not ours. · When: Only if you choose Google sign-in
- GitHub — Purpose: As above, if you sign in with GitHub. · When: Only if you choose GitHub sign-in
We do not control cookies set by these providers on their own domains.
5. Caching
Pages served to signed-out visitors may be cached at Cloudflare's edge so they load faster. Cached pages are shared, generic copies — they contain nothing personal to you. If you are signed in, the cache is bypassed and your page is generated fresh.
6. Do we need your consent?
Australian privacy law does not require a cookie consent banner for cookies of this kind. Every cookie we set ourselves is either strictly necessary for the Site to work or stores a preference you chose. We do not use cookies for advertising, profiling or cross-site tracking, so there is nothing to opt out of.
If you are in a region where consent rules are stricter (for example the EU or UK) and you would prefer us not to set the preference cookie, you can block cookies for this site in your browser — see below.
7. Managing cookies
You can view, delete and block cookies in your browser's settings. Blocking cookies for this site means:
- The theme switcher will not remember your choice between visits.
- You will not be able to stay signed in to the community.
- The rest of the Site — reading content and using the free tools — will still work.
Browser instructions: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge.
Most browsers also offer a "Do Not Track" setting. There is no agreed standard for how sites should respond to it, and since we do not track you across sites, we do not act on it differently.
8. Changes
SEO 24x7 is in beta and its features change often. We will update this page when the cookies we use change, and update the "Last updated" date above.
