Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website when you visit it. They allow the website to remember information about your visit — such as your login state or preferences — so you don't have to re-enter them every time you return.
Similar technologies include localStorage and sessionStorage (browser-side storage used by JavaScript). Where we refer to "cookies" in this policy, we include these technologies too.
Exchange Backlink uses a minimal set of cookies — only what is strictly necessary to operate the platform. We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking pixels, or behavioural profiling technologies.
| Cookie Name | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| exchangebacklink_session | Maintains your login session. Required for the platform to function. | 2 hours (idle) Refreshed on activity |
| XSRF-TOKEN | Protects all form submissions against Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) attacks. Required for security. | Session |
| remember_web_* | Set when you check "Remember me" on login. Keeps you logged in across browser sessions. | 400 days |
| Provider | Purpose | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Bot and spam protection on public forms (registration, contact). A privacy-friendly alternative to traditional CAPTCHAs. | Cloudflare Privacy Policy ↗ |
| Stripe | Fraud prevention on payment pages for paid plan subscribers. Only active on billing-related pages. | Stripe Privacy Policy ↗ |
| Google OAuth | Only if you choose "Continue with Google" login. Google may set its own cookies during the OAuth flow. | Google Privacy Policy ↗ |
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, block, or delete cookies. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies (session and CSRF) will prevent you from logging in and using the platform.
We may update this Cookie Policy if we add new features or integrations that require additional cookies. We'll update the "Last updated" date at the top and, for significant changes, notify you via email.
