Cookie Policy
Last updated: June 29, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how ProtectMyCircle ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website at protectmycircle.com.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device when you visit a website. They help websites remember your preferences, keep you logged in, and understand how you use the site. We also use browser-based local storage, which works similarly but stores data locally on your device rather than sending it to our servers.
What we use cookies and local storage for
Essential functionality (required)
We use browser local storage to remember how many free scam checks you have used today, your completed training modules, and your recent check history. This data lives only on your device and is never sent to our servers. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or using the "Clear history" button in the scam checker.
Analytics (optional)
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site — which pages are visited most, how long people stay, and where they come from. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this information. The data is aggregated and anonymous. We do not use this data to identify individual visitors.
Preferences (optional)
When you accept or dismiss our cookie notice, we store that preference in local storage so we don't show you the banner again on future visits.
What we do NOT use cookies for
We do not use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or retargeting technologies. We do not sell your data to advertisers or data brokers. We do not use cookies to build profiles of individual users.
Third-party cookies
Our site loads fonts from Google Fonts and icons from jsDelivr. These services may set their own cookies. We do not control these cookies. Please refer to Google's and jsDelivr's privacy policies for more information.
Managing cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when cookies are set. Note that disabling cookies may affect some functionality of the site.
You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page reflects when it was last updated. Continued use of our site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
