Cookie Policy
Last updated: November 7, 2026
This page lists the cookies and similar storage that Selfscope uses, who sets them, why and for how long. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data in general.
Your choice
If you're in the EU, the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, a notice asks whether we may use Meta and X cookies to measure our ads. Nothing from Meta or X loads until you tap “Allow”, and the site works the same if you tap “No thanks”. Elsewhere, including the US, Meta and X measurement is on unless you turn it off with the “Do not sell or share my info” link at the bottom of every page. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a “no” everywhere. You can change your answer at any time with that link or with “Cookie settings”.
Strictly necessary
These keep the site working and don't need your consent. Selfscope stores them in your browser's local storage, not as cookies; they stay until you sign out, finish the test or clear your browser data.
| Name | Set by | What it does | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| ss.token | Selfscope | Keeps you signed in to your account | Until you sign out |
| ss.funnel, ss.answers.*, ss.test.* | Selfscope | Saves your progress in a test so a reload loses nothing | Until the test is finished |
| ss.email | Selfscope | Fills in your email on the sign-in page after payment | Until you sign in |
| ss.vid | Selfscope | A random ID that connects the steps of your visits for our own statistics (you can turn it off above) | Until you clear your browser data |
| ss.noanalytics | Selfscope | Remembers that you turned statistics off | Until you clear your browser data |
| ss.touch (session storage) | Selfscope | Remembers which link or ad you came from during this visit | Until you close the tab |
| ss.consent | Selfscope | Remembers your answer to the cookie notice | Until you change it |
| ss.fbclid (session storage) | Selfscope | Keeps the ad click ID from the link you followed, used only if you allow Meta cookies | Until you close the tab |
| __cf_bm | Cloudflare | Tells people from bots to protect the site | 30 minutes |
| Paddle checkout cookies | Paddle | Needed to process your payment and prevent fraud during checkout (see Paddle's privacy policy) | Set by Paddle |
Statistics
We record visits and test steps ourselves, on our own server, to see where people get stuck and which ads bring visitors. To connect the steps of one visit, the site keeps a random ID in your browser's local storage (ss.vid); nothing is shared with other companies, and it doesn't follow you across other sites. We also count page views with Umami, which runs on our own server and uses no cookies.
You can turn this off on this device: . A Global Privacy Control signal from your browser turns it off too.
Advertising (Meta and X measurement)
| Name | Set by | What it does | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| _fbp | Meta | Recognizes your browser so Meta can tell us which ads led to a visit | 90 days |
| _fbc | Meta | Stores the click ID of the Meta ad you followed | 90 days |
| _twclid, muc_ads, personalization_id | X (Twitter) | Tell X which of its ads led to a visit, a sign-up or a purchase | Up to 13 months |
When Meta measurement is on for you, we also send Meta the same events from our server (Conversions API): that you left your email, started a trial or paid, with your email address in hashed form. You can also manage ad settings in your Facebook or Instagram account, and opt out of interest-based ads from many companies at optout.aboutads.info (US) or youronlinechoices.eu (EU).
Managing storage in your browser
You can delete cookies and site data in your browser settings at any time. If you clear Selfscope's local storage, you'll be signed out and unfinished test progress will be lost.
