Cookie Policy
Last updated: 20 October 2026
Cookies are small files a website stores in your browser. This page lists the cookies PageCheck uses. It is part of our Privacy Policy.
1. We use essential cookies only
PageCheck currently uses no analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. When you simply visit the site, it sets no cookies at all. The cookies below are set only when they are needed for something you do, and the service cannot work without them, so they do not require consent.
| Cookie | Purpose | Set by | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
pc_consent | Remembers your choice in the cookie notice, so it is not shown again. | PageCheck | 180 days |
wordpress_logged_in_…, wordpress_sec_…, wordpress_test_cookie | Keep you signed in to your account. Set only when you sign in. | PageCheck | Session, or up to 14 days |
pc_oauth | Ties a sign-in with Google (or Microsoft, where offered) to the browser that started it, so that nobody else can complete it. Set only while you sign in, and removed when you return. | PageCheck | Up to 10 minutes |
pc_login | Ties a sign-in code sent by e-mail to the browser that asked for it, so the code works only there. Set only when you ask for a code. | PageCheck | Up to 1 hour |
pc_intent | Remembers the website you asked to check before signing in, so the check can start right after you sign in. Set only when you press Analyze without being signed in. | PageCheck | Up to 30 minutes |
woocommerce_…, wp_woocommerce_session_… | Keep the plan you are buying during checkout. Set only at checkout. | PageCheck | Session, up to 2 days |
__stripe_mid, __stripe_sid | Payment fraud prevention. Set only on the billing pages where Stripe's payment form is loaded: checkout, Plan & billing in your account (when you add or change a card) and the page for confirming a payment with your bank. | Stripe | Up to 1 year / 30 minutes |
__cf_bm, cf_clearance, _cfuvid | Security: telling people from automated programs and protecting the site from abuse. Set only when Cloudflare's protection needs them. | Cloudflare | 30 minutes to 1 year |
Asking for a sign-in code by e-mail, buying a plan at checkout and adding or changing a card in Plan & billing are also protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which assesses your browser to tell people from automated programs (see section 2.2 of the Privacy Policy). It is not used anywhere else on the site.
2. Changing your choice
You can reopen the cookie notice at any time through Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser's settings; if you block essential cookies, signing in and checkout will not work.
3. If this changes
If we ever add analytics or other non-essential cookies, we will list them here and use them only with your consent, which you can give or withdraw through Cookie settings.
