# Cookie Policy

*Last updated: 29 August 2026*

## What cookies are

Small files placed on your device by a website. Some are essential to make the site work; others are used for advertising or measurement. UK law (PECR) and UK and EU GDPR require your consent for any that aren't strictly necessary.

## The cookies Saaskly uses

- **Saaskly consent cookie (saaskly_consent):** set by Saaskly. Strictly necessary: records whether you accepted or rejected analytics cookies. Duration: 12 months.
- **Google consent cookies (FCCDCF, FCNEC):** set by Google's consent tool once advertising is live. Strictly necessary: records your consent choices (TCF v2.2 / GPP strings). Duration: 13 months.
- **Session and security cookies:** set by Saaskly only if you sign in to the vendor portal (not live at launch). Strictly necessary: keeping you signed in; CSRF protection. Duration: session.
- **Google AdSense advertising cookies** (for example _gcl_au, IDE, test_cookie, __gads, __gpi): set by Google. Advertising: serving and measuring ads and frequency capping. Where you have not consented to personalised ads, Google serves non-personalised ads. Duration: up to 13 months.
- **Ahrefs Web Analytics:** cookieless page-view measurement by Ahrefs; sets no cookies and stores no identifiers on your device, so no consent is required.
- **Google Analytics cookies** (for example _ga and _ga_G-…): set by Google Analytics 4. Analytics: distinguishing visitors and sessions so we can see which pages are read. Set only if you consent; without consent Google Analytics runs cookieless. Duration: up to 13 months.

## How consent works

On your first visit a banner asks whether you accept analytics cookies. "Reject" keeps you on strictly necessary cookies only and cookieless analytics. Your choice is stored in the saaskly_consent cookie and you can change it at any time via "Cookie settings" in the footer. When advertising goes live, consent for advertising cookies will be collected separately by Google's consent management tool ("Privacy & messaging", formerly Funding Choices), a Google-certified consent platform supporting the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework v2.2 for the UK and EEA and the Global Privacy Platform for US state privacy laws.

## Managing cookies in your browser

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings; strictly necessary functions may then not work.
