Short version: Rankagora uses a short-lived first-party session cookie and browser session storage for abuse prevention and estimated traffic statistics. Cloudflare and Stripe provide security and payment services.What cookies are
Cookies are small text files stored by a website in a browser. They can support essential features, remember preferences, measure usage or enable advertising. Similar technologies include local storage and session storage.
Current cookie use
The __Host-rankagora_visit cookie lasts up to 24 hours and is Secure, HttpOnly and SameSite=Lax. It helps deduplicate activity within a browser. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site visitor tracking.
Session storage
The public frontend stores one random anonymous visitor identifier and one service-issued anonymous session token in session storage. They last for the browser tab session and are used with page paths and activity times to calculate online users, visitors and page views. They are not used for advertising or cross-site tracking.
Essential infrastructure
Cloudflare Access protects administration. Cloudflare Turnstile verifies sensitive forms; its security checks may process browser and network signals. Stripe hosts payment checkout under its own cookie and privacy policies.
Third-party websites
Rankagora links to independent listing websites. Those websites may set their own cookies under their own policies. Rankagora does not control cookies used after you leave this site.
Managing browser storage
Browsers let you clear or block cookies and site storage. Clear both the Rankagora cookie and session storage to remove the browser identifier. Blocking storage may reduce functionality and the accuracy of estimated statistics.
Future third-party analytics or advertising
If non-essential third-party analytics, personalisation or advertising technologies are introduced, Rankagora will update this policy and implement consent controls where required before those technologies are activated.
Changes to this policy
This page will be revised whenever browser-storage practices change. The date above identifies the current version.
