Cookie Policy

Effective Date: November 18, 2025
Last Updated: September 4, 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how SeeMyShare.com (“SeeMyShare,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website, account dashboard, URL-shortening tools, QR-code features, link-management features, analytics features, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

1. What Are Cookies and Similar Technologies?

Cookies are small text files or pieces of data that websites may store on or access from your browser or device.

Cookies can be used for purposes such as:

• maintaining login sessions;
• remembering preferences;
• protecting accounts;
• preventing fraud and abuse;
• maintaining security;
• measuring website usage;
• providing analytics;
• remembering privacy choices.

Similar technologies may include:

• local storage;
• session storage;
• tracking pixels;
• web beacons;
• scripts;
• tags;
• software development tools;
• device or browser identifiers;
• link-decoration technologies;
• navigational tracking;
• other technologies that store information on or access information from a user's device.

For purposes of this Policy, we generally refer to these technologies collectively as “cookies and similar technologies.”

2. Server Logs Are Different from Cookies

Some information may be processed by SeeMyShare without placing a cookie on your device.

For example, when a SeeMyShare shortened link is requested, our servers may automatically process information such as:

• IP address;
• timestamp;
• shortened URL requested;
• user agent;
• referrer;
• browser information;
• device information;
• redirect information;
• security signals.

This information may be necessary to process the redirect, maintain security, detect abuse, provide analytics, or operate the Service.

Server-side logging does not necessarily involve storing or accessing a cookie on your device.

For more information about our processing of this information, please review our Privacy Policy.

3. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

Depending on the features you use, we may use cookies and similar technologies to:

1. authenticate users;
2. keep users logged in;
3. maintain secure sessions;
4. protect accounts;
5. prevent unauthorized access;
6. prevent fraud and abuse;
7. detect automated attacks;
8. detect suspicious account or link activity;
9. remember user preferences;
10. remember privacy and cookie choices;
11. provide requested Service functionality;
12. maintain load balancing and reliability;
13. measure Service performance;
14. understand how the Service is used;
15. provide analytics where enabled;
16. prevent duplicate or fraudulent activity;
17. support optional advertising or affiliate functionality where such functionality is used.

We do not use cookies as a substitute for the link-security, abuse-monitoring, and server-log processing described in our Privacy Policy.

4. Categories of Cookies and Similar Technologies

4.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

Strictly necessary cookies are used where needed to provide functionality requested by a user or to operate essential portions of the Service.

They may be used for:

• login sessions;
• account authentication;
• session management;
• security;
• fraud prevention;
• abuse prevention;
• CSRF protection;
• form security;
• load balancing;
• network management;
• maintaining user-requested settings during a session;
• remembering privacy or cookie choices where necessary.

These technologies may be necessary for the Service to function securely and correctly.

Where applicable law permits strictly necessary cookies to be used without consent, we may use them without requesting optional cookie consent.

Blocking strictly necessary cookies through your browser may prevent important parts of the Service from functioning correctly.

4.2 Security and Anti-Abuse Technologies

We may use cookies or similar technologies to protect SeeMyShare, our users, and our domains from:

• account takeover;
• automated account creation;
• credential abuse;
• spam;
• bots;
• malicious automation;
• fraud;
• suspicious link creation;
• phishing;
• malware-related activity;
• attempts to evade security controls;
• attempts to evade suspension or enforcement;
• denial-of-service or other automated attacks.

Security technologies may help us distinguish legitimate activity from automated or suspicious behavior.

Depending on the technology and applicable law, certain security technologies may qualify as strictly necessary.

Where a security or anti-abuse technology is not exempt from applicable consent requirements, we will handle it in accordance with applicable law.

4.3 Preference and Functionality Cookies

Preference cookies may remember choices such as:

• language;
• interface preferences;
• theme;
• dashboard preferences;
• display settings;
• cookie preferences;
• other optional user settings.

Some preference technologies may be necessary to provide a feature specifically requested by you.

Others may be optional and, where required by applicable law, will be used only after the appropriate consent or choice has been obtained.

4.4 Analytics and Performance Cookies

Where enabled, analytics or performance cookies may help us understand how users interact with SeeMyShare.

They may process information such as:

• pages visited;
• session activity;
• referrers;
• browser type;
• device type;
• approximate geographic region;
• interaction events;
• navigation patterns;
• performance information;
• error information.

We may use this information to:

• understand Service usage;
• identify technical problems;
• improve performance;
• improve usability;
• measure feature usage;
• improve Service reliability.

Where applicable law requires consent for analytics cookies or similar technologies, they will not be activated until the required consent has been obtained.

Declining optional analytics cookies should not prevent access to core Service functionality.

4.5 Advertising, Marketing, or Affiliate Technologies

SeeMyShare may use advertising, marketing, conversion-measurement, or affiliate technologies only where such features are enabled.

These technologies may be used to:

• measure advertising performance;
• attribute referrals;
• measure affiliate conversions;
• prevent advertising or affiliate fraud;
• understand whether a campaign resulted in a registration or transaction.

Third-party advertising or affiliate providers may use their own cookies or similar technologies.

Where these technologies require consent under applicable law, they will be used only after obtaining the required consent.

If SeeMyShare does not use advertising or affiliate tracking technologies, this category may not be active.

5. First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

5.1 First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set or controlled by SeeMyShare and may be used for:

• authentication;
• account security;
• preferences;
• privacy choices;
• Service functionality;
• fraud and abuse prevention;
• analytics where applicable.

5.2 Third-Party Cookies

Some third-party services integrated with SeeMyShare may set or access cookies or similar technologies.

These providers may include, where used:

• infrastructure providers;
• security providers;
• analytics providers;
• payment processors;
• customer-support services;
• advertising providers;
• affiliate providers;
• other integrated service providers.

Third-party technologies are also subject to the applicable third party's own privacy and cookie practices.

We do not control how an independent third party processes information on its own websites or services.

6. Cookie Consent

Where applicable law requires consent before a non-essential cookie or similar technology is used, SeeMyShare will seek the required consent before activating that technology.

Where a cookie-consent interface is provided, you may be able to:

• accept optional cookies;
• reject optional cookies;
• choose particular categories;
• change your preferences;
• withdraw consent.

Consent to optional cookies is not a condition of using core SeeMyShare functionality unless a particular optional feature cannot technically operate without the relevant technology and applicable law permits that arrangement.

Simply continuing to browse the website will not be treated as consent where applicable law requires an affirmative consent action.

7. Withdrawing or Changing Consent

Where processing depends on cookie consent, you may withdraw or modify your consent through the cookie-preference controls made available on the Service, where provided.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect processing that lawfully occurred before consent was withdrawn.

After withdrawing consent:

• optional cookies may no longer be set;
• previously stored cookies may remain on your device until deleted or expired;
• some optional features may stop functioning;
• strictly necessary technologies may continue to operate.

You may also delete existing cookies through your browser settings.

8. Cookie Preference Records

Where we provide a cookie-consent or preference system, we may store a limited record of your choices.

This may include:

• consent status;
• selected categories;
• date or time of the preference;
• consent version;
• preference identifier.

Maintaining this information may be necessary to remember and demonstrate your privacy choices.

9. Cookie Duration

Cookies may be either:

Session Cookies

Session cookies generally expire when you close your browser or end your session.

Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device until:

• their specified expiration date;
• you delete them;
• your browser removes them;
• we replace or invalidate them.

The duration of a cookie depends on its purpose.

We seek to use retention periods that are appropriate for the relevant purpose.

Where SeeMyShare provides a cookie-preference center or detailed cookie list, that interface may provide additional information about specific cookies, providers, purposes, and durations.

10. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most browsers allow you to manage cookies through browser settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• view cookies;
• delete cookies;
• block cookies;
• block third-party cookies;
• limit storage;
• clear cookies when closing your browser;
• use private or incognito browsing;
• manage site-specific permissions.

Blocking all cookies may prevent parts of SeeMyShare from operating correctly.

For example, you may be unable to:

• remain logged in;
• access account functionality;
• save preferences;
• use certain security-protected features.

Browser settings do not necessarily control every type of similar technology, such as all forms of local storage, scripts, device signals, or server-side logging.

11. Global Privacy Control and Other Browser Privacy Signals

Some browsers or extensions may transmit privacy preference signals such as Global Privacy Control (“GPC”).

GPC and similar signals generally concern privacy rights such as opting out of certain forms of sale or sharing of personal information and are not necessarily the same as cookie consent.

Where applicable law requires SeeMyShare to recognize a qualifying browser-based privacy signal, we will process that signal as required by applicable law.

For additional information about privacy rights and GPC, please review our Privacy Policy.

12. Do Not Track

Some browsers transmit a “Do Not Track” (“DNT”) signal.

There is no single universally applicable standard that requires all websites to interpret DNT signals in the same manner.

SeeMyShare may not respond to traditional DNT signals unless required by applicable law.

DNT is separate from other legally recognized privacy signals, such as GPC.

13. Link Tracking and Redirect Analytics

SeeMyShare is a URL-shortening and link-management service.

When a shortened link is clicked, SeeMyShare may process technical information necessary to:

• identify the requested shortened URL;
• perform the redirect;
• count clicks;
• detect bots;
• detect fraudulent or malicious traffic;
• protect the Service;
• provide link analytics.

This processing does not necessarily require an optional analytics cookie.

For example, click information may be generated from normal server requests and logs.

Accordingly, rejecting optional website analytics cookies does not necessarily prevent SeeMyShare from processing basic redirect, security, abuse-prevention, or link-click information as described in our Privacy Policy.

14. Security and Abuse Prevention

Cookie preferences do not disable SeeMyShare's obligation or ability to protect its infrastructure and domains from abuse.

Even where optional cookies are rejected, we may continue to use information and technologies that are reasonably necessary and legally permitted to:

• authenticate users;
• maintain Service security;
• prevent fraud;
• detect automated attacks;
• detect abusive registrations;
• prevent account takeover;
• enforce rate limits;
• detect prohibited use;
• prevent circumvention of suspension or termination;
• protect users, third parties, and the Service.

Our handling of personal information for these purposes is described in our Privacy Policy.

15. Third-Party Destinations

A SeeMyShare shortened URL may redirect you to a third-party website.

Once you reach a third-party destination, that website may place its own cookies or use other tracking technologies.

Those cookies are controlled by the destination website, not SeeMyShare.

This Cookie Policy does not govern cookies or technologies used independently by third-party destination websites.

You should review the privacy and cookie policies of third-party destinations if you want information about their tracking practices.

16. International Users

Cookie and similar-technology laws vary by jurisdiction.

Depending on where you are located, you may have rights to:

• receive information about cookies;
• consent before optional technologies are used;
• reject optional technologies;
• withdraw consent;
• control certain advertising or tracking technologies;
• exercise other privacy choices.

SeeMyShare will apply applicable cookie and privacy requirements where legally required.

17. Relationship to Our Privacy Policy

Cookies and similar technologies may involve the processing of personal information.

Our Privacy Policy explains:

• what personal information we collect;
• why we process it;
• legal bases where applicable;
• how information may be disclosed;
• data-retention practices;
• privacy rights;
• security and abuse-prevention processing.

If personal information collected through cookies or similar technologies is processed by SeeMyShare, that processing is also subject to our Privacy Policy.

18. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect:

• changes to the Service;
• changes in the cookies or technologies we use;
• security requirements;
• legal or regulatory developments;
• changes to third-party integrations.

When we update this Policy, we will revise the “Last Updated” date.

Where applicable law requires renewed consent because our use of optional cookies or technologies materially changes, we will request new consent as required.
