Cookie Policy
Last updated: January 25, 2026
This Cookie Policy explains how BetterLink uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit our website and use our services. We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, tablet, or mobile) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and to provide information to website owners. Cookies can be "session cookies" (which are deleted when you close your browser) or "persistent cookies" (which remain on your device for a set period or until you delete them).
2. Cookies We Use
BetterLink uses a minimal number of cookies, focused only on what is necessary to provide our service. We do not use cookies for advertising or cross-site tracking.
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are essential for the website to function and cannot be disabled. They are set in response to actions you take, such as logging in or filling out forms.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| better-auth.session_token | Maintains your logged-in session so you don't have to sign in on every page | Session |
Infrastructure Cookies
Our infrastructure provider may set cookies for security and performance purposes. These cookies help protect against malicious traffic and ensure the website loads quickly.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Bot detection and security protection | 30 minutes |
3. Cookies We Don't Use
BetterLink does not use:
- Advertising or tracking cookies — We do not use cookies to track you across websites or serve targeted advertisements.
- Third-party marketing cookies — We do not allow advertising networks to set cookies on our website.
- Analytics cookies — Our website analytics solution is cookieless and does not store any data on your device.
4. BetterLinks and Visitor Privacy
When someone clicks a BetterLink (a short link created by our users), we do not set any cookies on that visitor's device. We detect the visitor's country using server-side technology to redirect them to the appropriate Amazon storefront. We only store aggregated, anonymous click statistics — not individual visitor data.
5. Your Cookie Choices
Because we only use strictly necessary cookies that are essential for the website to function, we do not display a cookie consent banner. Under GDPR and similar regulations, strictly necessary cookies do not require consent as they are essential for providing the service you have requested.
You can still control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
- View what cookies are stored and delete them individually
- Block third-party cookies
- Block all cookies (note: this will prevent you from logging in)
- Delete all cookies when you close your browser
Please note that if you block our session cookie, you will not be able to log in to your BetterLink account.
6. Similar Technologies
In addition to cookies, websites may use other technologies to store data locally. BetterLink may use browser local storage or session storage to remember user preferences (such as sidebar state) within the dashboard. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
7. Updates to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when we make changes.
8. More Information
