Cookie Policy
Last updated: July 12, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how Linkly uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website. We use the word “cookies” to cover cookies, local storage, and similar technologies that store information on your device. This policy is part of our Privacy Policy. You can change your choices at any time:
1. Strictly necessary
These cookies are essential for the Service to work — they keep you signed in and remember basic choices you make. They cannot be switched off.
| Name | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| cc_cookie | Cookie | Stores your cookie-consent choices (about 6 months). |
| PARAGLIDE_LOCALE | Cookie | Remembers your language. |
| linkly-auth | Local storage | Keeps you signed in to your account. Removed when you sign out. |
| linkly:last-auth-method | Local storage | Remembers which sign-in method you last used. |
| mode-watcher-mode | Local storage | Light/dark theme preference. |
| insights-range | Local storage | Preferred period on your Insights dashboard. |
| linkly_tracked | Session storage | Prevents counting the same view/click twice in one browsing session. |
| linkly_app_banner_dismissed | Session storage | Remembers that you dismissed the mobile-app banner. |
2. Analytics (opt-in)
We use analytics to understand how Linkly is used — product analytics, error tracking, and session replay with inputs and sensitive fields masked. Nothing persistent is stored and nothing is captured until you accept this category; if you reject it, collection stops and these cookies are cleared.
| Name | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| ph_*_posthog | Cookie + local storage | Analytics identifier and settings (up to 1 year). |
| ph_*_window_id / session_id | Session storage | Distinguishes activity within a single browsing session. |
3. Advertising (opt-in)
Where ads are enabled we use Google AdSense. The AdSense script — and the cookies it sets — only load if you accept this category. Google may use these cookies for ad serving, frequency capping, and measurement under Google's cookie policy.
| Name | Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| __gads, __gpi, __eoi, _gcl_* | Cookies (Google) | Ad serving, frequency capping, and measurement (up to 13 months). |
4. Mobile apps and extension
The Linkly mobile apps use equivalent on-device SDK storage instead of cookies — for analytics, crash reporting, push notifications, and, where ads are enabled, advertising (Google AdMob). The browser extension stores your session, settings, and bookmark data in the browser's extension storage on your device. These are described in the Privacy Policy.
5. Controlling cookies
Use the dialog to change your choices at any time. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings, but if you block strictly necessary cookies some parts of the Service will not work, including signing in. We do not respond to “Do Not Track” signals. We may update this policy as the Service changes; the date above reflects the latest revision.
