Information we collect
We process account information, submissions, claims, messages, newsletter preferences and basic security logs. Public profile data may be compiled from the sources displayed on each record.
We do not publish private email addresses, telephone numbers or sensitive personal information without a clear legal basis and explicit consent where required.
We use Ahrefs Web Analytics to understand aggregate traffic. According to Ahrefs, its default tracker does not use cookies or persistent identifiers. It processes page URLs, referrers, browser and device information, language and approximate location; raw IP addresses are discarded rather than stored.
Closing the cookie notice stores a dismissal preference in your browser’s local storage; it does not create another cookie.
