Cookie policy
Every cookie AISEOExpert.co can set, what it does, how long it lasts, and how to accept or refuse the optional ones.

1. What cookies are
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores in your browser. Some are needed for a site to work; others collect information about how it is used. Similar technologies, such as local storage, are covered by this policy too.
2. How we use them
AISEOExpert.co sets no cookies for its own content. Cookies fall into two groups:
- Strictly necessary cookies protect the site from abuse and remember your cookie choice. They do not need consent and cannot be switched off here.
- Analytics cookies, from Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity, tell us which pages are read, where visitors come from and how pages are used. They are set only if you accept them in the cookie prompt. If you decline, the site works the same and no analytics cookie is set.
We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. The free tools under /tools/ set no cookies.
3. Strictly necessary cookies
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
cf_chl_* | Cloudflare Turnstile | Runs the spam check on the contact and sample-report forms. Set only on those pages. | Session |
cookie_consent | AISEOExpert.co | Stores the choice you made in the cookie prompt so it is not asked again. | 12 months |
4. Analytics cookies (optional)
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
_ga | Google Analytics 4 | Distinguishes visitors with a random identifier. | 2 years |
_ga_* | Google Analytics 4 | Keeps the session state for one Analytics property. | 2 years |

What Google and Microsoft do with this data is described in Google's privacy policy and Microsoft's privacy statement. Our own use of it is described in section 2.2 of the Privacy policy.
5. Changing your choice
The cookie prompt appears on your first visit. To change your answer later, use the "Cookie settings" link in the footer, which reopens the prompt. Declining or withdrawing consent stops the analytics scripts loading; cookies already set are deleted when they expire or when you clear them in your browser. Every browser also lets you block or delete cookies in its settings; blocking the strictly necessary ones may stop the contact form working.
6. Changes and contact
We update this page when a cookie is added or removed and show the date above. Questions: hello@aiseoexpert.co.
