Updated at: 2026-09-20.

This Cookie Policy explains how GoMon Professional SEO reports and tools uses cookies and similar tracking technologies when you use our website, access our SEO diagnostic dashboards, or generate optimization reports. This policy applies to both our Free Account users and Paid Subscription members.

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your web browser. They help us authenticate users, prevent security exploits, remember your SEO workspace configurations, and optimize your overall application performance.

2. Categories of Cookies We Deploy

We restrict our cookie deployment to functional, secure, and operational tracking parameters. We do not sell your behavioral data to external marketing companies. The cookies we utilize are split into the following categories:

A. Strictly Necessary & Security Cookies

These trackers are mandatory to establish a stable and secure connection to our SEO platform. Without these cookies, the basic account functionalities will fail to load.

  • Session Authentication: Identifies your active login state across our keyword research and technical audit modules so you do not have to authenticate on every subpage.
  • CSRF Security Tokens: Defends your account setups against Cross-Site Request Forgery vulnerabilities, ensuring that settings modifications are genuinely executed by you.

B. Functional & Workspace Preferences

These cookies allow our platform to retain your dashboard settings and recurring diagnostic parameters, saving you operational setup time.

  • SEO Query Settings: Remembers your targeted geographical search criteria, preferred search engine locales, and language tracking defaults.
  • Interface State: Retains custom filtering setups, white-label company branding parameters (available for eligible Paid Subscriptions), and dashboard dark/light theme choices.

C. Merchant Billing Integration (Paid Subscriptions)

For users who upgrade from a Free Account to a Paid Subscription, specialized financial tracking tokens are required:

  • Transaction Verification: Our secure third-party billing network deploys operational tracking codes to handle corporate subscription transactions, monitor payment processing health, and evaluate merchant fraud indicators.

4. How to Manage Cookie Approvals

You can choose to intercept, restrict, or purge cookies via your browser's central privacy menu. However, you explicitly acknowledge that if you reject our essential session tokens, GoMon's automated SEO diagnosis scripts, keyword tools, and multi-site report building dashboards will no longer function properly.

5. Revisions to this Cookie Policy

GoMon reserves the right to modify this document in accordance with platform adjustments or shifts in regulatory frameworks. The effective date at the top of the page will indicate when the latest updates were applied.
