Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They are widely used to make websites work, to remember your preferences, and to provide information to the site owner. This Cookie Policy explains how WebScore (“we,” “our,” or “us”) uses cookies and similar technologies, and the choices you have. It supplements our Privacy Policy.

2. How we use cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes:

• Authentication: session cookies that keep you securely logged in.
• Preferences: remembering settings such as your light/dark theme.
• Security: tokens that protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF).
• Consent: storing your cookie choices so we don't ask again on every visit.
• Analytics: understanding how visitors use the site so we can improve it.

3. Categories of cookies

3.1 Strictly necessary

Required for the site to function — authentication, security and remembering your cookie choices. These cannot be switched off, as the service won't work properly without them.

3.2 Analytics

Help us measure traffic and understand how the site is used so we can improve it. These are only set if you allow them. We use:

• Google Analytics 4: aggregate traffic and usage measurement. We run it with Google Ads and ad-personalization signals turned off.
• Ahrefs Web Analytics: cookieless traffic measurement.
• Repora (repora.ro): a session identifier that distinguishes each guest/visitor session. It contains no personally identifiable information.

3.3 Marketing

We do not currently set marketing or advertising cookies, and Google Analytics runs with advertising signals disabled. If this changes, we will update this policy and only set such cookies if you opt in.

4. Managing your preferences

You're in control. You can accept or reject non-essential cookies when you first visit, and change your choice at any time:

You can also control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers let you block or remove cookies — note that disabling strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the service.

5. Third-party cookies

Some cookies are set by third parties that provide services on our behalf. These are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies:

• Google Analytics & Ahrefs Web Analytics — aggregate usage analytics
• Repora — visitor/session analytics
• Google & GitHub OAuth — sign-in (only when you choose to log in)
• Creem.io — payment processing (only during checkout)

6. Changes to this policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the cookies we use or for legal reasons. The “last updated” date at the top reflects the latest revision.
