Our Cookie Policy
We believe in full transparency. This page explains exactly what cookies Prufly uses, why we use them, and how you can control or disable them at any time.
Prufly uses cookies and similar browser technologies to keep our platform running smoothly, understand how our tools are being used, and serve content that is relevant to you. This policy explains precisely what we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. We keep things straightforward — no legal jargon, no surprises.
What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember certain information about your session — such as your preferences or how you navigated through our tools — making your next visit faster and more relevant.
Cookies do not run programmes on your device and cannot carry viruses. They are widely used across the web and are a standard part of how modern websites function. You remain in full control of which cookies are stored on your device at all times.
How Prufly Uses Cookies
We use cookies for four specific purposes, each of which serves a clear function on our platform:
- Essential Cookies — Required for core site functionality; without these, certain features may not operate correctly
- Analytics Cookies — Help us measure traffic patterns, identify popular tools, and understand where improvements are needed
- Preference Cookies — Store your display settings and any customisations you have applied during your visit
- Performance Cookies — Monitor page load speeds and technical behaviour to keep our calculators fast and reliable
Types of Cookies We Use
Prufly uses a combination of first-party and third-party cookies. The table below summarises the three primary categories active on our platform:
Essential Cookies
These cookies are strictly necessary for our website to function. They are activated in response to your actions — such as adjusting privacy preferences or interacting with a calculator — and cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality.
Analytics Cookies
These cookies allow us to track aggregate visits and measure tool usage so we can identify what works well and what needs improvement. All data collected is anonymised and used solely for internal platform development.
Preference Cookies
These cookies remember your settings and customisations — such as display preferences — so you do not have to re-configure them on each visit. They may be set by Prufly directly or by trusted third-party service providers.
Third-Party Cookies
Certain features on Prufly rely on trusted third-party services, which may set their own cookies on your device. We work exclusively with reputable providers and do not permit third parties to use cookies for any purpose beyond what is described in this policy:
- Google Analytics — Provides anonymised data on how users navigate and interact with our tools, helping us prioritise improvements
- Advertising Partners — Deliver non-intrusive advertisements that allow us to sustain Prufly as a completely free platform
- Cloudflare — Supplies essential security, DDoS protection, and performance optimisation services across the entire platform
Your Cookie Choices
You have full control over which cookies are stored on your device. The following options are available to you at any time:
- Browser Settings — Configure your browser to block, allow, or delete cookies for all sites or specific domains
- Cookie Consent Tool — Use our on-site consent manager to accept or decline non-essential cookie categories
- Industry Opt-Out — Visit youronlinechoices.com to opt out of interest-based advertising cookies across participating networks
- Private Browsing — Use your browser's private or incognito mode to prevent cookies from being stored between sessions
Managing Cookies in Your Browser
Cookie settings can be accessed directly from your browser's privacy menu. Here is where to find them in the most widely used browsers:
- Google Chrome — Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and Other Site Data
- Mozilla Firefox — Options → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Apple Safari — Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and Website Data
- Microsoft Edge — Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions → Cookies and Site Data
Please note: Disabling certain cookie categories may affect how some features of Prufly behave. Essential cookies cannot be turned off as they are fundamental to the platform's operation. If you have questions about a specific cookie or third-party service, we are happy to provide further detail — contact us at contact@prufly.xyz.
Changes to This Policy
We may revise this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect updates to our technology stack, regulatory requirements, or the services we offer. When material changes are made, we will update the "Last Updated" year at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy occasionally to stay informed of how we use cookies.

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests related to our use of cookies or this policy, please reach out to our team directly at contact@prufly.xyz. We review all correspondence and aim to respond promptly.
