Cookie Policy
Effective Date: Nov 8, 2025
This Cookie Policy describes how linkpreview.ai (hereinafter, the “Site”) uses cookies and similar technologies, such as Local Storage.
What are Cookies and Local Storage?
- Cookies are small text files that websites send to your terminal (usually your browser), where they are stored and re-transmitted to the same sites on your next visit.
- Local Storage is a widely used technology that allows a website to store information locally on your device without sending it to the server with every network request. We use this for settings that should stay on your device, enhancing both privacy and performance.
This policy should be read in conjunction with our main Privacy Policy.
What types of data do we store?
Our Site uses a “privacy-first” approach. We categorize our data storage into two types: Strictly Necessary (Technical) and Analytics (Optional).
1. Strictly Necessary (Technical)
These are essential for the proper functioning of the Site, its security, and to remember your preferences (like dark mode or consent choices). They do not require your prior consent as they are fundamental to providing the service.
| Name | Type | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
cf_clearance | Cookie | Cloudflare | Essential security cookie used to identify legitimate human traffic and protect the Site from bot attacks. | Up to 1 year |
theme | Local Storage | linkpreview.ai | Remembers your preferred visual theme (Light or Dark mode). | Persistent |
linkpreview_consent_v1 | Local Storage | linkpreview.ai | Stores your privacy preferences so we don’t have to ask you on every visit. | Persistent |
2. Analytics (Optional)
We use analytics to understand which templates are most popular and how our features are used. These technologies are only activated if you explicitly click “Accept All” in our privacy banner.
We use PostHog for this purpose. We have configured it to minimize data collection (e.g., no automatic text capture).
| Name | Type | Provider | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ph_*_posthog | Cookie & Local Storage | PostHog Inc. | These items allow us to count unique pageviews and see how features are used during a session anonymously. | up to 1 year |
Note: In addition to the above, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-centric tool that does not use any cookies or local storage to track visitors.
3. Profiling or Marketing Cookies
We do not use any profiling or marketing cookies, either first-party or third-party.
How to manage your preferences
You can change your consent choice at any time by clicking the “Privacy Settings” link in the footer of our website.
Alternatively, you can manage, block, or delete cookies directly from your browser settings:
