Cookie policy
Which cookies and browser storage Getref uses, what each one is for and how long it is kept, and how to change your cookie choice at any time.
Your cookie choice
Your choice above applies immediately and can be changed at any time. This policy explains which cookies and similar technologies (local and session storage in your browser) Getref uses. How we handle the data itself is described in the privacy policy.
How we use them
We use only what the website needs to work and to stay secure, plus analytics if you allow it. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Until you make a choice, nothing analytics-related is stored in your browser. If your browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as "Necessary only" unless you change the setting here yourself.
Necessary
These are needed for the website to work, to keep you signed in and to protect it from abuse. They do not require consent and cannot be switched off here; you can delete them in your browser, but sign-in and some features will then stop working.
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| gr_consent | cookie | remembers your cookie choice | 180 days |
| gr_ref | cookie | keeps the invite code from a friend's link until you sign up | 30 days |
| NEXT_LOCALE | cookie | remembers the language you chose | 1 year |
| tk_access, tk_refresh | local storage | keep you signed in | until you sign out; the session ends after 7 days without activity |
| gr_device | local storage | random device identifier that protects sign-in, tasks and invites from abuse; our servers keep only its hash | until you clear site data |
| gr_calc_volume | local storage | remembers the trading volume you entered in the calculator | until you clear site data |
| gr_lang_suggest_dismissed | local storage | remembers that you closed the language suggestion | until you clear site data |
| __cf_bm, cf_clearance and other Cloudflare cookies | cookie (Cloudflare) | protection against bots and attacks, including the Turnstile check on sign-in and UID forms | from 30 minutes; set only when Cloudflare needs them |
Analytics — only with your consent
These help us understand which pages are useful. They are used only after you choose "Allow analytics".
| Name | Type | Purpose | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|---|
| gr_v | local storage | random visitor identifier for Getref's own statistics | until you withdraw consent or clear site data |
| gr_s | session storage | groups page views into one visit | until you close the tab |
| _ga, ga* | cookie (Google Analytics, if enabled) | visit statistics; advertising features are switched off | up to 2 years |
| ym* | cookie (Yandex Metrica, if enabled) | visit statistics; session recording is switched off | up to 1 year |
Without consent, Getref still counts page views, but without any identifier: see "Visit statistics" in the privacy policy.
Changing your choice
Use the setting at the top of this page — it takes effect immediately. If you withdraw consent, we delete our analytics identifiers and the Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica cookies from this website. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings, and opt out of Google Analytics on all websites with Google's browser add-on.
Changes and contact
We will update this policy when we add or remove cookies; the date of the current version is shown at the top of this page. Questions: write to us on X: @getref_xyz (direct messages).
