Last updated: April 21, 2025
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit our website. They help us make LinkDigits work better and provide you with a more personalized experience. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
How We Use Cookies
LinkDigits relies on cookies for core functionality and to improve your experience. Our primary cookie usage is focused on:
Authentication and Security Cookies
These cookies are essential for the operation of LinkDigits and are automatically placed on your device when you use our service:
- Authentication tokens: To keep you logged in and verify your identity
- Security tokens: To prevent cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks
- Account verification: To validate account permissions and access levels
Without these cookies, you would need to log in again each time you visit a new page, and certain security features would not function correctly.
Session Management Cookies
These cookies are critical for maintaining your active session:
- Session identifiers: To maintain your active login session across pages
- Session state: To remember your progress when creating or editing digits
- Temporary preferences: To remember settings applied during your current session
- Load balancing: To ensure consistent service delivery across our infrastructure
Third-Party Tracking and Analytics
We use third-party tracking and analytics services to understand how users interact with LinkDigits:
- Google Analytics: To collect anonymous information about how you use our website, including page views, traffic sources, and user journeys
- Mixpanel: To analyze feature usage and user engagement patterns
- Hotjar: To generate heatmaps and session recordings for user experience improvement
- Facebook Pixel: To measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns
These third-party services may use their own cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about your use of LinkDigits. This information is subject to the privacy policies of these respective third-party providers.
Optional Functionality Cookies
These cookies enable enhanced functionality but are not essential:
- Language preferences
- Theme and display preferences
- Recently viewed digits
- Custom dashboard configurations
Cookie Duration
We use two types of cookies based on how long they stay on your device:
- Session Cookies: These temporary cookies are erased when you close your browser. Most of our authentication and security cookies are session cookies.
- Persistent Cookies: These cookies remain on your device for a defined period (typically between 30 days and 12 months, depending on the purpose). Our third-party tracking cookies and some authentication tokens are persistent to remember you between sessions.
Specific Cookies We Use
For transparency, here are the key cookies used on LinkDigits:
Managing Cookies
You have several options to manage or disable cookies on LinkDigits:
- Essential Cookies: Since we require authentication and session cookies for LinkDigits to function properly, disabling these cookies will significantly impair your ability to use our service
- Third-party Tracking: You can opt out of third-party tracking cookies through our cookie preference center or by adjusting your browser settings
- Browser Controls: Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. These settings are typically found in the "Options," "Preferences," or "Settings" menu of your browser
- Third-Party Opt-Out Tools: You can use privacy tools like Privacy Badger, Ghostery, or AdBlock Plus to manage cookies across websites
Please note: If you choose to block essential cookies, you will not be able to log in or use most features of LinkDigits.
