Cookie Policy
Last updated: April 19, 2026
This page lists every cookie blackandgoldseo.com sets and explains why. We aim to keep the list as short as possible — and have no interest in tracking you across the web.
What is a cookie?
A cookie is a small piece of data a website stores in your browser. Some cookies are required to make the site work (e.g. keeping you logged in); others are optional and typically used for analytics or advertising. We only use the required kind.
Cookies we set
| Name | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| bg_session | Keeps you signed in after login | 7 days | Essential |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare bot-management — stops automated abuse. Set by Cloudflare, our hosting provider. | 30 minutes | Essential |
That's it.We don't set analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or cross-site tracking pixels. We don't use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, or similar.
Third-party cookies you might encounter
A few third-party services we integrate with set their own cookies when you interact with them:
- Stripe — when you open the checkout or customer portal, Stripe sets its own cookies for payment-security purposes. See Stripe's privacy policy.
- Google / Microsoft OAuth — if you connect a mailbox, the OAuth popup briefly redirects through their domains. Cookies they set there are governed by their policies, not ours.
The site snippet on your site
If you install our embed snippet on your own site, the snippet itself does notset any cookies on your visitors. It only modifies your DOM (injecting schema, setting meta tags, applying fixes) and reports results back to our API. Your visitors aren't tracked by us.
How to opt out / delete cookies
Every browser lets you clear cookies or block them selectively:
- Chrome / Edge: Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox:Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari: Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
Blocking the bg_sessioncookie will log you out — you won't be able to use the dashboard. The essential cookies aren't used for tracking, so there's no privacy benefit to blocking them specifically on this site.
Changes
If we ever add a new cookie — we don't currently plan to — this page will be updated and the date at the top will change.
