Cookie Policy
On this page
The short version
- Eight cookies: one keeps you signed in, one remembers your language, one recognises your browser on our sites, one belongs to Google's sign-in prompt, and four measure our own ads on Facebook, Instagram and ChatGPT.
- No Google Analytics, no tag manager, no third-party analytics script anywhere on the site or in the app.
- Ad measurement runs by default. One email leaves you out of it, and a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser counts as that email.
This summary is for orientation only. The sections below are the policy.
1What this covers#
This policy covers the cookies and the browser storage used by commentwatchdog.com, the marketing site, and app.commentwatchdog.com, the product, both operated by GrowMeOrganic LLC. It completes sections 11 and 12 of the Privacy Policy, which remain the binding text on what we collect and why.
A cookie is a small text record a website asks your browser to keep and send back on later visits. Browser storage (local storage and session storage) is a similar place a page can keep values, which the browser never sends by itself.
2The cookies we set#
Every cookie below is a first-party cookie: our own servers set it for commentwatchdog.com, and nobody else can read it. There are no others.
| Cookie | What it does | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
cwd_vid | A random identifier that recognises your browser on our sites, so we can understand which pages and sources bring people to the Service and support you when you sign up. Set on your first page view, on the site and in the app. Never readable by scripts. | 400 days, renewed on each visit |
sift_session | Keeps you signed in to the app. Set when you sign in, removed when you sign out. Never readable by scripts. | 30 days |
g_state | Set by Google's sign-in library when it offers to sign you in with your Google account; remembers that you closed the prompt so it is not shown again for a while. Set only in browsers that are signed in to Google. | 6 months |
NEXT_LOCALE | Remembers the language you chose in the app, so the next page opens in it. | Until you close the browser |
_fbp | Ad measurement: a random identifier the Meta Pixel reads, so that a sign-up or a purchase can be matched to one of our ads on Facebook or Instagram. Set by our servers. | 90 days, renewed on each visit |
_fbc | Ad measurement: the click identifier from the Meta ad that brought you here, kept so the visit can be matched to that ad. Set by our servers only when you arrive from a Meta ad. | 90 days, renewed on each visit |
__oppref | Ad measurement: the click reference from the ChatGPT ad that brought you here, kept so the visit can be matched to that ad. Set by the OpenAI Pixel, and by our servers, only when you arrive from a ChatGPT ad. | 30 days |
__obref | Ad measurement: a random identifier the OpenAI Pixel creates for your browser, so that a sign-up or a purchase can be matched to one of our ads in ChatGPT. Set by the OpenAI Pixel, and by our servers so both of our websites use the same one. | 365 days |
What the ad measurement sends, who receives it and why is in section 12 of the Privacy Policy. The cookies that keep you signed in and remember your language are needed for the Service to work; the other six are not, and section 5 says how to be left out.
3Browser storage#
Your browser keeps a few values for us that are never sent on their own and hold nothing about the pages, comments or messages you moderate:
- On the marketing site: your language, so the site opens in it next time; which of our two products you last read about, comment moderation or DM automation, so the header shows that product's menu; your country and the day's exchange rates, so the pricing page can show an approximate price in your currency for a day without asking again; the corner, size and playback speed you chose for the film's player, so it opens the same way next time; a copy of the visitor identifier, so a browser that lost its cookie is recognised again; and, for one visit, the address you arrived at and the page that sent you, so the first page you saw is recorded correctly.
- In the app: the workspace you last opened, the view you left a screen in, in the flow builder the steps you last copied, your conversation with Build with AI and what you typed to start a flow or a new AI agent while the next screen opens, whether you dismissed a welcome message, whether the app is installed on your home screen, and a small entry our error monitoring uses to stitch together what happened on a screen when an error occurred (with every text masked).
Clearing your browser's site data removes all of it. Nothing breaks: the app asks again for what it needs.
4Third parties on our pages#
Five third parties can receive something from your browser while you use our pages. Only the OpenAI Pixel sets cookies on commentwatchdog.com, the two named above.
- Meta. The Meta Pixel script loads from Meta's servers on our pages and sends the events described in the Privacy Policy. If you are signed in to Facebook or Instagram in the same browser, those requests carry Meta's own cookies for facebook.com, under Meta's Cookies Policy. We do not use the Pixel at all for visitors in Russia, China, Iran, North Korea and Turkmenistan.
- OpenAI. The OpenAI Pixel script loads from OpenAI's servers on our pages and sends the same events, described in the Privacy Policy, for our ads in ChatGPT. It sets the two cookies named above on our sites and no other. We do not use it at all for visitors in the same five countries.
- Cloudflare. The sign-in and registration forms of the app show a small bot-protection widget from Cloudflare. It loads from Cloudflare's servers, receives your IP address and browser details, and may keep its own values inside that widget to tell people from bots.
- Stripe. You pay and manage your card on Stripe's own pages, not ours. Stripe sets its cookies there, on stripe.com, under Stripe's cookie policy.
- Directories. The "Featured on" badges in the footer are images loaded from the directories that list us. Loading them tells those sites your IP address and the page you are on.
The pricing page also asks a geolocation service for your country, once, when our own servers could not tell it, so that it can show a price in your currency. The service receives your IP address and nothing else, and sets no cookie.
We use no Google Analytics, no tag manager, no advertising network other than Meta and OpenAI, and no social media button that loads from a social network.
5Your choices#
- Ad measurement: write to support@commentwatchdog.com and we leave you out. We treat a Global Privacy Control signal from your browser as that request.
- Your visit history: the same address deletes it on request.
- Any cookie: your browser settings let you see, block and delete cookies for commentwatchdog.com. Blocking the sign-in cookie signs you out of the app.
- Signing out removes the sign-in cookie at once.
