This Cookie Policy explains which cookies and similar technologies LinkWatchr uses on linkwatchr.com and app.linkwatchr.com, why we use them, and how you can control them. It supplements our Privacy Policy. The controller is LinkWatchr; for any privacy-related questions you can reach us at privacy@linkwatchr.com.
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser so it can recognise you on your next visit to keep you signed in, remember a setting, or tell one visitor from another. We also use browser storage (localStorage and sessionStorage), which works like a cookie. The analytics and marketing cookies below are first-party: they are set on our own domain.
If you visit from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, only necessary cookies run until you answer our cookie banner you can Accept all, Deny, or choose per category. Analytics and marketing cookies do not load until you decide.
If you visit from anywhere else, analytics and marketing run by default and you can turn them off at any time.
Your choice is remembered for 12 months and applies to both linkwatchr.com and app.linkwatchr.com. You can change it at any time via Cookie settings in the website footer, or Profile -> Cookies and tracking in the application. Cookies already set stay in your browser until they expire or you delete them.
These keep the sites and the application working. They need no consent and cannot be turned off.
