Cookies and browser storage.

Security session cookie

When your browser requests the form’s security token, PageAnalyser starts a session and sets a session cookie. The cookie lets the form check that a request came from the page you loaded.

The application configures this cookie as HttpOnly and SameSite=Strict, with Secure enabled when the site is served over HTTPS. The application sets no persistent lifetime. The cookie name depends on the server configuration; the standard PHP default is PHPSESSID.

Report access in this browser tab

After you request a report, your browser stores its access token in sessionStorage for the current tab session. PageAnalyser uses that token to check the queue, display your result, and restore it if you reload the same tab. It is not a cookie, and it is not shared with other sites.

The report appears in that browser tab; it is not emailed to you. Closing the tab or clearing its browser storage removes the access token, so you may lose access even after the result is ready. Report access expires 90 days after the request.

Optional analytics cookies

When no cookie choice has been saved, Matomo sends the first page-view request to analytics.arranz.org without setting Matomo cookies, then the PageAnalyser cookie-choice modal appears. If you allow optional cookies, Matomo can set first-party cookies on the PageAnalyser website: _pk_id stores a pseudonymous visitor identifier for up to 13 months, _pk_ses links actions within a visit for 30 minutes, and _pk_ref stores referral attribution for up to 6 months. Matomo stores granted cookie consent in mtm_cookie_consent for up to six months. Your choice is stored in browser storage. In Internet Explorer, Matomo may briefly set _pk_testcookie to check whether cookies are supported. The first three durations are Matomo’s defaults. The active cookie settings on analytics.arranz.org have not been verified.

If you choose “Mandatory cookies only”, page views and link or download activity continue to be sent without optional cookies. Matomo still receives cookieless requests, including your IP address and browser information. Visits can still be counted, but Matomo cannot use its visitor cookie to recognise returning visits, so unique and returning visitor figures are less reliable.

Your cookie choice is stored in this browser’s localStorage for up to six months. If that is unavailable, the choice is kept in sessionStorage for the current tab session. Expired choices are cleared the next time you visit. Your choice controls optional analytics cookies, it does not stop cookieless tracking. The tracker does not enable Matomo’s optional heatmaps, session recordings, or form analytics. It does not read or send the report form fields, the prospect URL you enter, your email address, your report access token, or report contents. Analytics is not used for advertising.

The footer’s “Cookie settings” control lets you change your choice later. Matomo requests continue if you choose “Mandatory cookies only”. This version does not provide an on-site control to stop cookieless analytics.

Managing browser storage

You can block or clear cookies and browser storage in your browser settings. Blocking the session cookie can stop the request form from working. Clearing the report token can stop you checking or reopening the report from that tab. Blocking Matomo cookies prevents cookie-based recognition, but Matomo may still send cookieless tracking requests.
