Privacy Policy

Who We Are

UrlExaminer is operated by Impellio. This policy explains what data we collect when you use this service and why.

Cookies

UrlExaminer does not use tracking or analytics cookies. We do not use Google Analytics, advertising networks, or any third-party tracking service.

The only cookie we set is a session cookie used to keep you logged in. It contains no personal information beyond a session identifier, is deleted when you close your browser or log out, and is strictly necessary to operate the service. Under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent requirements — which is why you won't see a cookie banner here.

All fonts used on this site are self-hosted. No requests are made to Google Fonts or any other external font service.

Website Audits

UrlExaminer audits websites in two ways:

• User-submitted audits — audits run at the request of our users on URLs they have a legitimate interest in.
• Research audits — audits we initiate ourselves on publicly accessible websites for research purposes, including published reports such as our EU Website Quality Report.

In both cases, we make the same HTTP requests your browser would make — reading only what is publicly accessible. We do not access authenticated content, bypass access controls, or collect personal data from the websites we audit.

Published reports contain only aggregate findings. No individual website is identified in a way that constitutes personal data, and no user data from audited websites is collected or retained.

Research audit data — including the URLs audited and their results — is deleted 90 days after the associated report is published. The published report itself is retained permanently as the authoritative record of findings. If your website has been included in a research audit, you may receive a copy of the individual report, and you can request deletion of your underlying audit data at any time before the 90-day window closes — see below.

User-submitted audit data is retained for as long as the submitting user maintains an account with us.

Data We Collect

• Account information — your email address, collected when you request access and used to authenticate you.
• Audit data — the URLs you submit for auditing and the results of those audits, stored so you can view them later.
• Server logs — standard web server logs (IP address, request path, timestamp) retained for up to 30 days for security and debugging purposes.

Data We Do Not Collect

• No tracking pixels or behavioural analytics
• No advertising identifiers
• No third-party scripts that observe your browsing
• No data sold or shared with third parties for marketing
