Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device when you visit. They help the site remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the site so we can improve it. Some cookies are essential for the site to function; others are optional and can be disabled.

2. Cookies We Use

The table below lists every cookie set by adaguard.io, including cookies set by third-party services we embed.

Essential Cookies

These cookies are required for adaguard.io to function. They cannot be disabled. They do not track you across other sites and contain no personally identifiable information.

Analytics

We use Vercel Analytics (cookieless page-view data — page path, referrer, country, browser) and Google Analytics (GA4) to understand site traffic and behaviour. Google Analytics sets browser cookies. Neither service shares personal data with third-party advertising networks. Both are only loaded after you click Accept in the consent banner (see Section 4) — rejecting disables both.

Third-Party Service Cookies

Some pages on adaguard.io interact with third-party services. Those services may set their own cookies subject to their own privacy policies.

This table covers only services that set cookies on adaguard.io. For the full list of sub-processors and what each one handles, see our GDPR page.

3. Why We Use Cookies

1. Authentication: Essential cookies keep you securely logged in across page loads without re-entering your password.
2. Security: CSRF tokens protect your account actions from cross-site attacks.
3. Analytics: Aggregate page-view and behaviour data (via Vercel Analytics and Google Analytics) tells us which pages are visited and where users encounter friction, helping us improve the product. Only loaded after you accept the cookie banner.
4. Performance: Cloudflare uses cookies to route your requests to the nearest server and to identify traffic patterns that indicate bot or DDoS activity.

4. How to Control Cookies

Cookie consent banner

On your first visit to adaguard.io, a consent banner appears at the bottom of the page. Clicking Reject disables both Vercel Analytics and Google Analytics — neither will load. Your choice is stored in a cookie (scoped to adaguard.io and its subdomains, one-year duration) and respected on all subsequent visits, including on app.adaguard.io. You can change your preference at any time by clearing site data in your browser (see below).

Browser cookie settings

All modern browsers let you view, delete, and block cookies. Note that blocking essential cookies will prevent you from staying logged in to adaguard.io.

• Chrome — manage cookies
• Firefox — manage cookies
• Safari — manage cookies
• Microsoft Edge — manage cookies

5. Do Not Track

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” (DNT) signal. ADAGuard currently does not respond differently to DNT signals because there is no commonly agreed-upon interpretation. We recommend using the opt-out method in Section 4 if you wish to disable analytics tracking.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when we add new features or integrate new third-party services. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of adaguard.io after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
