Last updated: March 2026
Google Ranking Checker uses very few cookies and no tracking technologies. We do not use analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or any form of cross-site tracking. This page explains exactly what is stored on your device when you use our site.
We do not set any cookies ourselves. However, our hosting provider Cloudflare may set the following cookie:
| Cookie | Purpose | Type | Expiry |
|---|---|---|---|
__cf_bm | Cloudflare bot management. Helps distinguish genuine visitors from automated traffic. | Strictly necessary | 30 minutes |
There are no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies, and no tracking cookies on this website.
We use your browser's localStorage (not cookies) to store a small amount of data on your device:
| Key | Purpose | Details |
|---|---|---|
rankChecks | Tracks how many ranking checks you have made today for rate limiting. | Client-side only. Never transmitted to any server. Resets daily. |
kdChecks | Tracks how many keyword difficulty checks you have made today for rate limiting. | Client-side only. Never transmitted to any server. Resets daily. |
auditChecks | Tracks how many site audit checks you have made today for rate limiting. | Client-side only. Never transmitted to any server. Resets daily. |
localStorage data remains on your device and is never sent to our servers or any third party. You can clear it at any time through your browser settings.
The __cf_bm cookie set by Cloudflare is classified as strictly necessary under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR) and ICO guidance. Strictly necessary cookies are essential for the website to function and do not require your consent.
Because we do not use any non-essential cookies, we do not display a cookie consent banner. There is nothing to consent to.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
Be aware that blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the website from functioning correctly.
To clear localStorage data, open your browser's developer tools (usually F12), go to the Application or Storage tab, and delete the relevant entries under Local Storage.
