About Cookies and Client-Side Storage
This Cookie Policy explains how OpenSeoLab uses cookies, web beacons, and local storage technologies when you visit our website, utilize our interactive demo, or access our autonomous SEO control panel. We prioritize your privacy and minimize client-side storage strictly to essential operational and security needs.
1. What are Cookies and Web Storage?
A cookie is a small text file stored on your computer or mobile device by a web server. Local storage and session storage are modern web standards that allow websites to store data directly inside your browser. These technologies allow platforms to remember your session, verify cryptographic security challenges, and maintain user preferences.
2. Categories of Storage We Use
A. Strictly Necessary (Essential) Storage
These cookies and storage items are technical prerequisites for the operation and security of the OpenSeoLab platform. Without these, the site cannot function safely or correctly:
| Identifier / Key | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
vrise_session |
HTTP Cookie (HttpOnly, Secure) | Session / 7 Days | Maintains authenticated operator session and access rights. |
openseolab_auth |
Local Storage | Persistent | Stores authenticated user metadata (email, role) for client-side routing. |
openseolab_token |
Local Storage | Persistent | Bearer JWT authentication token for secure API communication. |
__cf_bm / cf_clearance |
Cloudflare Cookie | 30 Minutes / Session | Cloudflare bot mitigation and web application firewall security validation. |
openseolab_pow_token |
Session Storage | Session | Cryptographic Proof-of-Work token validating non-automated user interactions. |
B. Functional & Preferences Storage
These items enable personalized platform capabilities, such as remembering selected language, target GEO regions, or interactive demo step state:
| Identifier / Key | Type | Duration | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
openseolab_demo_state |
Local Storage | 30 Days | Preserves 5-stage interactive demo progress and chosen niche benchmarks. |
theme_preference |
Local Storage | 1 Year | Remembers interface appearance mode (Dark Glassmorphic UI). |
C. Third-Party Identity & Security Cookies
When you opt to sign in using Google Identity Services (Google OAuth), Google may place cookies (such as g_state) to track the initialization and credential callback state of Google Sign-In. These cookies are governed by Google's own Privacy and Cookie policies.
3. How to Manage and Disable Cookies
You have the full right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can manage your preferences through your browser settings:
- Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Third-party cookies.
- Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Enhanced Tracking Protection / Cookies.
- Apple Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data / Block All Cookies.
- Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies.
Please note: If you choose to completely block all cookies in your browser, certain critical features (such as user login, dashboard session persistence, and anti-fraud verification) may fail to operate properly.
4. Updates to this Policy
We may periodically update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in legal standards, operational technologies, or security requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated Effective Date.
