Cookie and Storage Policy

cwg_session cookie

Purpose: authenticates signed-in users and protects account access. Type: first-party, HTTP-only and SameSite=Lax; Secure in production. Duration: up to 14 days, or earlier if you sign out or the session is revoked. It is required for the signed-in service.

cwg-cookie-preferences

Purpose: records that this notice was dismissed and essential storage is active. Storage: localStorage. Duration: until browser data is cleared. It does not identify you across websites.

cwg-alert-preferences

Purpose: remembers alert and daily-digest options selected in Settings. Storage: localStorage. Duration: until changed or browser data is cleared. It is not used for advertising or cross-site tracking.

Privacy-friendly cookieless analytics

To measure aggregate site visits and marketing campaign effectiveness without tracking individual users or collecting personal data, CreditWatchGo uses privacy-friendly cookieless analytics (Plausible Analytics). Plausible does not set cookies, does not access local storage, and does not store personal identifiers or persistent visitor IP addresses.

Consent and future technologies

The current technologies support security or functions you request, so this notice explains them rather than asking you to accept optional tracking. We do not currently use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, social-media pixels or similar non-essential tracking cookies.

Before adding storage that requires consent, we will update this policy and provide equally clear accept, reject and withdrawal choices through Cookie settings.

Managing browser storage

Use Cookie settings in the footer to review the current position. You can also delete cookies and localStorage through your browser. Deleting the session cookie signs you out; blocking it prevents the signed-in service from working.
