Browser storage used by the application
| Key | Stored categories | Purpose | Transmission | Clear it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
seoToolMatcherQuiz:v1 | Quiz answers, current question step, current quiz phase, and storage-version marker. | Restore Tool Finder progress after refresh and let users continue or clear the quiz locally. | Stored in the browser by the application. It is not sent by the quiz itself. | Use the quiz Retake/Restart control or clear site data in the browser. |
Affiliate redirect click-event handling
| Behavior | Fields | Destination | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Controlled commercial redirect | eventName, eventId, toolSlug, redirectPath, sourcePath, outcome, targetHost, and occurredAt. | A same-origin affiliate-click endpoint when configured by the deployment. The static app does not include a visible analytics vendor script. | The redirect tracking call is designed not to include names, email addresses, payment data, quiz answers, or affiliate credentials. It may use navigator.sendBeacon with a fetch fallback. |
Analytics, cookies, and consent status
- External analytics
- No external analytics provider is configured in the current application code.
- dataLayer
- The current application code does not push affiliate, quiz, or page events to window.dataLayer.
- Cookies set by SEOToolMatcher
- The audited application code does not set application cookies. Browser storage for quiz progress uses localStorage instead.
- Cookie banner
- No cookie banner is shown because no non-essential analytics or marketing cookies are enabled by the current application code.
Contact submissions
A public contact channel is not configured in the current build, so SEOToolMatcher does not publish a contact form that collects submissions.
Third-party service links and affiliate networks
Some commercial links may redirect to third-party services or affiliate networks. Those services may process information according to their own policies after you leave SEOToolMatcher.
SEOToolMatcher does not control cookies, pixels, checkout terms, analytics, or account behavior on third-party sites.
Hosting and technical logs
The current repository is built as a prerendered static site. The application code does not identify a hosting provider in public policy text.
A production host may process ordinary technical logs such as request time, requested URL, user agent, referrer, IP address, and error information. Hosting-provider behavior should be confirmed before launch.
User controls and retention
- Clear quiz progress
- Use the quiz Retake/Restart control or clear site data for SEOToolMatcher in your browser.
- Affiliate event retention
- The static application does not define server-side retention. Any configured first-party endpoint should set and document its own retention policy before launch.
- Security limitations
- No website can guarantee absolute security. Avoid entering sensitive information into the Tool Finder or any future contact channel.
