Cookie Policy

Overview

This Cookie Policy explains how Sitemap Watch uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website, use our public sitemap tools, create an account, or contact us.

Cookies are small text files stored by your browser. They help the site work properly, keep sessions secure, remember basic preferences, and understand how people use the product so we can improve it.

Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for core site functionality. We may use them to:

• Keep you signed in when you use account features
• Protect login, registration, and dashboard sessions
• Remember security-related state
• Route requests reliably on our hosting platform

These cookies cannot be disabled through Sitemap Watch because the service depends on them.

Preference Cookies

Preference cookies help remember choices such as theme or interface settings. They make repeat visits smoother but are not used to identify you for advertising.

Analytics Cookies

We may use privacy-conscious analytics to understand product usage, such as:

• Which pages and tools are visited
• Whether public sitemap checks complete successfully
• General browser, device, and performance signals

Analytics helps us improve free tools like the sitemap finder, sitemap checker, and XML sitemap generator. We do not use analytics cookies to sell personal profiles.

Payment and Account Cookies

Sitemap Watch keeps payment integrations available in the application for future paid plans. If payment features are enabled later, payment processors may set cookies or similar technologies during checkout, billing, or fraud prevention.

Third-Party Services

Some service providers may use cookies or similar technologies when they support features such as authentication, analytics, email delivery, payments, or site infrastructure. Their use of cookies is governed by their own policies.

Managing Cookies

Most browsers let you block, delete, or limit cookies in browser settings. If you block essential cookies, some features such as login, dashboard access, or secure forms may stop working.

Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy as Sitemap Watch evolves. The latest version will always be posted on this page.
