This Cookie Policy explains how EasySites uses cookies and similar technologies on EasySites-owned pages and services. It should be read together with our Privacy Notice, Terms and Conditions, and, where customer scripts or integrations are involved, our Acceptable Use Policy.

This policy applies to EasySites-owned pages and services, including the login flow, control panel, public EasySites pages, help or support pages, and similar EasySites-operated interfaces.

This policy does not automatically cover every customer website built using EasySites. Customers are responsible for the cookies, pixels, scripts, consent tools, and privacy information on their own websites.

Cookies are small text files stored on a device. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, scripts, tags, and other tools that store information on, or access information from, a user's device.

Where a cookie or similar technology is strictly necessary to provide a service requested by the user, maintain security, prevent abuse, or keep the platform working, we may use it without prior consent.

Where a cookie or similar technology is not strictly necessary, we obtain consent before using it unless a lawful exception applies at the time. We do not treat continued browsing on its own as consent.

At the date of this policy, EasySites does not intentionally enable a non-essential behavioural analytics or session-replay provider on EasySites-owned pages. If that changes, we will update this policy and introduce an appropriate consent control before enabling the relevant technology.

The exact technologies in use can vary by page, environment, user type, and enabled service. The table below reflects the main categories and current known examples used on EasySites-owned services.

Technology or example Purpose Typical duration Consent position
Session cookie (name may vary by environment) Maintains secure login state, requested sessions, and core application behaviour Session only Strictly necessary
EasySitesLogin Optional "remember me" authentication cookie for returning users 30 days Usually strictly necessary where the user chooses the remembered-login function
Security and anti-abuse technologies, including challenge or spam-prevention providers where enabled Protects forms, login flows, verification steps, and the platform against spam, bots, abuse, and malicious traffic, including challenge services such as reCAPTCHA where used Session only to 30 days, depending on the provider and purpose May be exempt where genuinely necessary for security or the requested service
UI preference storage, such as local or session storage keys used to dismiss banners or remember a user-interface choice Remembers product or interface state, for example dismissing a domain-expiry banner or preserving a temporary workflow state Session only to 90 days, depending on the feature Depends on whether the storage is strictly necessary for the requested function
Workflow state storage, such as session storage used to reflect temporary AI or editor status inside the control panel Helps the interface reflect actions the user has just taken within the same session Session only Usually low-risk functional storage; assess against the purpose and current law

EasySites also uses browser storage for certain temporary or preference-based functions. Current known examples include keys such as hideDomainExpiryBanner, oneup_wizard_dismissed, and temporary session keys beginning ai-applied-.

  • temporary dismissal state for interface messages such as domain-expiry notices;
  • temporary AI workflow state inside the control panel during the active session; and
  • local preference state for selected onboarding or assistant prompts.

These keys do not always appear for every user or on every page, and some are removed automatically after use or at the end of the session.

EasySites customers can add forms, popups, analytics code, custom HTML, custom JavaScript, pixels, widgets, and other third-party services to their own websites. Those additions may set additional cookies or similar technologies that are outside this platform policy.

Customers are responsible for auditing those tools, deciding whether they are necessary, presenting suitable notices, and obtaining consent where required for their own websites. Those responsibilities also sit behind the EasySites Terms and Conditions and Acceptable Use Policy.

If EasySites later introduces a non-essential cookie or similar technology on EasySites-owned pages, our approach will be to offer users a clear EasySites control to accept, reject, or later change those choices before the relevant technology is enabled.

Users can also manage some cookies through browser or device settings, although blocking strictly necessary technologies may affect functionality, security, or access to the service.

We keep our use of cookies and similar technologies under review and aim to remove storage technologies we no longer need. If our use materially changes, we will update this policy and, where relevant, refresh consent or settings choices.
