Cookie Policy
Last updated: May 29, 2026
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work efficiently, provide a better user experience, and supply information to site owners. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, and browser fingerprinting.
This Cookie Policy explains how AdProtektor Inc. (“AdProtektor,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on our website (adprotektor.app), our application (app.adprotektor.app), and through the tracking script installed on our customers’ websites.
2. Cookies on the AdProtektor Application
When you use the AdProtektor application at app.adprotektor.app, we use the following types of cookies:
| Type | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Authentication | Keep you signed in to your account and maintain your session | Session / up to 30 days |
| Session | Maintain state across page requests (e.g., CSRF protection) | Session |
| Preferences | Remember your settings and display preferences (e.g., sidebar state, date range selections) | Persistent |
These cookies are essential for the operation of the application and cannot be disabled without impairing functionality.
3. Tracking Technologies Used by the AdProtektor Script
The AdProtektor tracking script runs both on our customers’ websites and on our own marketing site at adprotektor.app, where we use it to protect our own advertising. In all cases, it uses the following technologies to detect and prevent click fraud:
3.1 Visitor Fingerprinting
The tracking script generates a unique visitor identifier (visitor_id) based on a combination of browser and device attributes. This fingerprint is used to recognize repeat visitors across sessions, even when they change IP addresses. No traditional cookie is set for this purpose; instead, the identifier is computed from available browser signals.
3.2 Local Storage
The script may use the browser’s localStorage to persist session identifiers and tracking state between page loads. This data is stored locally on the visitor’s device and is accessible only by the script on the same domain.
3.3 Session Recording
For visitors flagged as potentially fraudulent, the script records page interactions using open-source session recording technology (rrweb). This captures DOM mutations, mouse positions, scroll events, and viewport changes. Input field values are masked by default to protect visitor privacy.
3.4 Behavioral Tracking
The script monitors behavioral signals including mouse movement patterns, scroll depth, time on page, click frequency, and engagement events (form interactions, phone link clicks, email link clicks). These signals are analyzed by our AI to distinguish legitimate visitors from fraudulent traffic.
3.5 Meta Click Cookies (`_fbc`, `_fbp`)
When a visitor lands on a customer’s site via a Facebook or Instagram ad, Meta sets `_fbc` (containing the Facebook click ID) and `_fbp` (browser pixel id) cookies. The AdProtektor tracking script reads these to attribute the visit to a paid Meta click context and to support deduplication when our customers fire Pixel + Conversions API events for the same conversion.
4. Third-Party Cookies
The following third-party services may set cookies when you use the AdProtektor application:
- Our payment provider — cookies for payment processing and fraud prevention during checkout
We do not use third-party advertising or analytics cookies on the AdProtektor application or landing page. The only tracking on the adprotektor.app landing page is our own first-party click-fraud detection script, using the technologies described in Section 3 above.
5. How to Manage Cookies
You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
- Block third-party cookies
- Block cookies from specific sites
- Block all cookies
- Delete all cookies when you close the browser
Please note that blocking or deleting cookies may affect the functionality of the AdProtektor application, particularly authentication and session management.
For visitors to websites that use the AdProtektor tracking script: the script uses browser fingerprinting and behavioral analysis rather than traditional cookies. Clearing cookies will not prevent this type of tracking. To learn more about how the tracking script works, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
6. Customers’ Responsibilities
Our customers who install the AdProtektor tracking script on their websites are responsible for:
- Disclosing the use of the tracking script and its data collection practices in their own privacy and cookie policies
- Obtaining any required consent from their website visitors under applicable laws (including GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements for cookies and similar technologies)
- Implementing cookie consent mechanisms where required by law
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. When we make material changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
