Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 21, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how VexRank uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you visit our website and use our AI-powered SEO platform. By continuing to use VexRank, you consent to our use of cookies as described in this policy.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit them. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to site owners. Cookies enable core functionality such as authentication, remember your preferences, and help us understand how you use our platform.
2. How VexRank Uses Cookies
Essential Cookies (Required)
These cookies are necessary for the VexRank platform to function and cannot be disabled in our systems. They include authentication cookies that keep you signed in to your account, session cookies that maintain your browsing state, and security cookies that protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF). Without these cookies, core features like logging in, submitting URLs for analysis, and saving reports would not work.
Functional Cookies
These cookies allow us to remember your preferences, such as your dashboard layout, language preference, selected plan tier, and recently viewed reports. They enhance your experience but are not strictly required for the platform to function.
Analytics Cookies
We use analytics cookies to collect information about how visitors use our platform — which features are most popular, how users navigate between pages, and where users encounter difficulties. This data is aggregated and anonymized. We use this information to improve the platform and prioritize feature development.
Third-Party Cookies
Some cookies are placed by third-party services integrated into our platform: Cloudflare (security & CDN), Stripe (payment processing), and Supabase (database infrastructure). These cookies are governed by the respective third-party privacy policies.
3. Specific Cookies We Use

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
Browser Settings
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to refuse all cookies, accept only certain cookies, or notify you when cookies are being set. Please note that disabling essential cookies will prevent core VexRank features from functioning — you will not be able to sign in, submit URLs for analysis, or access the dashboard.
Google Analytics Opt-Out
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. This prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript from sharing information about your visit with Google Analytics.
Platform Cookie Controls
You can manage non-essential cookies through our Cookie Settings panel, accessible from the footer of every page on our website. This panel allows you to opt in or out of functional and analytics cookies independently.
5. Do Not Track (DNT)
Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. VexRank currently does not respond to DNT signals because no uniform industry standard for DNT has been adopted. We will revisit this as standards evolve.
6. Changes to This Cookie Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Significant changes will be communicated via our website or email. The effective date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was last revised.
7. Contact Us
