1.What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files stored on your device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) when you visit a website. Cookies contain information that is sent back to the server each time you visit, allowing websites to remember your preferences, maintain your session, and track your behavior.

Cookies are essential to modern web functionality. They enable features like login sessions, user preferences, security authentication, and personalized content. Without cookies, many websites cannot function properly.

2.How We Use Cookies

SEO Local uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to maintain your login session and authenticate your identity, remember your preferences and settings, improve website functionality and user experience, analyze website usage patterns and user behavior, measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns, deliver personalized content and advertisements, prevent fraud and enhance security, and understand how visitors interact with our website.

3.Types of Cookies We Use

3.1 Essential/Necessary Cookies

These cookies are required for basic website functionality. They enable you to navigate the site, use core features, and maintain session security. These cookies cannot be disabled without affecting website functionality. They include session ID cookies (maintain your authenticated session until you log out or close your browser), CSRF tokens (prevent cross-site request forgery attacks), load balancer cookies (route requests to the appropriate server), and security cookies.

3.2 Analytics Cookies

We use analytics cookies to understand how visitors use our website, which pages are most popular, and how we can improve user experience. Google Analytics 4 cookies (_ga, _ga_*, _gid, _gat) track user interactions, page views, sessions, and behavior patterns for up to 2 years. Session-scoped trackers count page views, measure session duration, and track the path users take through the website.

3.3 Marketing and Advertising Cookies

We use marketing cookies to track your interaction with our website and ads across different platforms. Meta Pixel cookies (_fbp, _fbc) track conversions, retargeting, and audience building for Facebook/Instagram ads for up to 3 months. Google Ads cookies (IDE, ANID, NID) track conversions and enable retargeting for up to 2 years. Retargeting pixels identify and retarget visitors across the web for 30-180 days, and conversion tracking cookies measure which advertising campaigns drive conversions for 30-90 days.

3.4 Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enhance your experience by remembering your preferences and choices: language preference (1 year), theme preference (1 year), login persistence (30 days), and user preference cookies that store your account settings until deleted.

4.Third-Party Cookies

4.1 Third-Party Service Providers

We work with third-party service providers that may set their own cookies on your device.

4.2 Google Cookies

Google Analytics 4 (tracks user behavior and website performance), Google Ads (enables conversion tracking and retargeting), and Google reCAPTCHA (verifies that you are human and not a bot).

4.3 Meta (Facebook) Cookies

Meta Pixel (tracks conversions and enables retargeting for Meta advertising) and Facebook Like/Share buttons (enable social sharing functionality).

4.4 Payment Processor Cookies

Stripe (enables secure payment processing and fraud prevention) and Recurly (manages subscription billing and payment information).

4.5 CRM and Communication Platform Cookies

GoHighLevel (GHL) enables email marketing, SMS, and CRM functionality.

4.6 Content Delivery Network (CDN) Cookies

CDN services may set cookies to optimize content delivery and monitor performance.

4.7 Third-Party Control

We do not control the third-party cookies set by these providers. We recommend reviewing their policies: Google Privacy & Security, Meta Privacy Center, Stripe Privacy Policy, and Recurly Privacy Policy.

5.Cookie Duration

5.1 Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. They are used to maintain your login session and enable functionality while you're actively using the website.

5.2 Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device for a specified period (ranging from days to years) and continue to work even after you close your browser. They are deleted when the specified expiration date is reached, when you manually delete them through your browser settings, or when you clear your browser cookies.

5.3 Cookie Expiration Dates

  • Session Cookies: Until browser is closed (typically a few hours)
  • Analytics Cookies: 26 months for Google Analytics
  • Marketing Cookies: 30 days to 3 months for most retargeting cookies
  • Functional Cookies: 1 year for preference cookies
  • Essential Cookies: Until logout or browser close

6.How to Manage and Disable Cookies

6.1 Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can typically accept or reject all cookies, accept only certain types of cookies, be notified when a website attempts to set a cookie, and manually delete cookies that have been set.

6.2 How to Adjust Cookie Settings by Browser

  • Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data
  • Firefox: Preferences > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data
  • Safari: Preferences > Privacy > Manage Website Data
  • Edge: Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Clear browsing data

6.3 Third-Party Cookie Management Tools

Several third-party tools allow you to manage cookies across multiple websites: Ghostery (browser extension to block and manage trackers), Privacy Badger (EFF browser extension that blocks tracking), and uBlock Origin (browser extension to block ads and trackers).

6.4 Opt-Out Links for Third-Party Services

You can opt out of specific third-party cookies using these tools: the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, Facebook Ads Preferences, Google Account Settings for ads, and the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) industry opt-out.

6.5 Impact of Disabling Cookies

Disabling cookies may affect your experience on our website: you may not be able to log in to your account, your login session may not persist between visits, personalized content and recommendations may not work, your preferences may not be remembered, some website features may not function properly, and website performance may be degraded.

Essential cookies cannot be disabled without making the website unusable. However, you can disable analytics, marketing, and functional cookies without affecting core functionality.

7.Do Not Track (DNT) Signals

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" feature that allows you to send a signal to websites indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. However, there is no industry-wide standard for responding to DNT signals, and our website currently does not respond to or honor Do Not Track requests.

To control tracking, you can disable cookies in your browser settings, use privacy-focused browser extensions, opt out of specific third-party trackers (see section 6.4 above), or use private/incognito browsing mode.

8.Google Analytics Opt-Out

If you would like to completely opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on. When you opt out, Google will not collect or use your data for analytics purposes, the add-on will prevent Google Analytics JavaScript from loading on websites you visit, and it works in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge browsers.

9.Pixel Tags and Web Beacons

In addition to cookies, we use pixel tags, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies. These are small graphic elements embedded in web pages that allow us to track user behavior and measure campaign effectiveness. Like cookies, these technologies can be controlled through your browser settings and opt-out links.

10.Cross-Domain Tracking

We use cookies and tracking pixels to track your behavior across multiple websites and domains. This allows us to measure the effectiveness of marketing campaigns across different platforms, retarget you with relevant advertisements, understand your full customer journey, and prevent fraud and enhance security.

This cross-domain tracking is performed by third-party services like Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, and Google Ads. You can opt out of this tracking using the tools described in section 6.4.

11.Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our cookie practices, new technologies, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on our website with a new "Last Updated" date, sending you an email notification if you have an account with us, and requiring your consent if the changes materially affect how we use cookies.

Your continued use of our website after changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy.
