Cookie policy
Last updated: August 19, 2026
There are two kinds of cookie on this site. The ones that are strictly necessary, remember a preference you chose, or count anonymous usage are always on. Marketing cookies from Meta (Facebook) are off until you accept them, and nothing reaches Meta before you do. You can change your answer on this page at any time.
The complete list
| Cookie | Set by | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| __session, __client_uat & related | Clerk (our sign-in provider) | Keeps you signed in securely | Session / up to 1 year |
| __stripe_mid, __stripe_sid | Stripe | Fraud prevention during checkout | Session / 1 year |
| sidebar_state | Us | Remembers whether your dashboard sidebar is collapsed | ~1 week |
| geo-consent | Us | Remembers whether you accepted or refused marketing cookies | 1 year |
| wcfm_anon_id | Us | Counts anonymous product usage so we can see what to improve | 1 year |
| wcfm_attrib | Us | Remembers which link or campaign brought you here, so we can tell which marketing works | 30 days |
| _fbp | Meta, only after you accept | Identifies your browser so Meta can connect an ad click to a visit here | 3 months |
| _fbc | Meta, only after you accept | Stores the click identifier from the ad you arrived from | 3 months |
Theme preference (light/dark) is stored in your browser's local storage, not a cookie, and never leaves your device.
Our own product analytics
We count how the product is actually used, so we can tell which parts help and which get ignored. The first time you do something we count, such as viewing your scan results, our server sets a first-party cookie named wcfm_anon_id. It holds a randomly generated identifier and nothing else: no name, no email address, no IP address. Only our own server can read it, it is never shared with anyone, and it is never used to follow you across other websites. Its only job is to tell one anonymous visitor from another, so that five actions by one person are not counted as five people. It lasts 1 year, and it is set only when you trigger something we count, so a visitor who just reads a page never receives one. We record which action happened and a general page type, never the address of a private report, and your IP address is never stored alongside these counts. Our page-view analytics is separate: it runs on Umami, which stays cookieless and stores nothing on your device.
Marketing cookies (Meta Pixel)
We advertise on Facebook and Instagram, and we want to know which of those ads actually bring people here. If you accept, we load Meta's advertising pixel. It sets the _fbp and _fbc cookies listed above and tells Meta which pages you viewed and whether you started a free audit. Meta also receives your IP address, your browser user agent and the page address, and can match those to a Facebook or Instagram account. If you refuse, the pixel script is never loaded and none of that happens. Meta's own handling of the data is covered by its privacy policy.
Your choice
Marketing cookies stay off until you accept them, and doing nothing counts as no. Change your answer here whenever you like: switching them off also expires the Meta cookies already stored in this browser.
Your cookie choice
Consent
Cookies that are strictly necessary, or that only remember a preference you chose, do not need permission under UK PECR and the equivalent EU rules, so those are always on. Marketing cookies do need permission, so we ask before setting them and set nothing while you have not answered. If you only ever saw our earlier informational cookie notice, that was not consent to anything, so we ask you again rather than assume. Our own wcfm_anon_id analytics cookie is on by default too. It holds nothing but a random number, is never shared with anyone and is never used for advertising, and clearing your browser cookies removes it.
Managing cookies
You can withdraw permission for marketing cookies at any time with the buttons above. You can also clear or block cookies in your browser settings. Blocking the Clerk or Stripe cookies will prevent sign-in or checkout from working. Everything else on the site works without them.
