A/B tests: one random-ID cookie, pfr_xid
Advertising cookies
PFR uses none, on any page
1. What a cookie is
A small text file your browser keeps for a website. PFR uses cookies for two things only: keeping the site working and, if you allow analytics, A/B tests that compare two versions of a page. Without that OK, only essential cookies are set.
2. Essential cookies
They keep you signed in, protect forms against misuse and remember settings such as your desk and your cookie choice. The site does not work without them, so they cannot be switched off.
Two of them make PFR's own referral programme work, and neither holds anything that identifies you. pfr_ref is set when you arrive through a referral link (any PFR page address with ?ref= and a code): it holds a random click key, or the referrer's code and the time of the click, and no IP address or other personal data. If you then create an account, the account is credited to the referrer whose link brought you; the last link you followed counts. It is a first-party cookie that only the site can read, and it lasts 30 days.
pfr_signup_ref is set only when you press Continue with Google in the sign-up dialog. It carries the referral code you typed on the form, or that a firm or provider account is never referred, through the round trip to Google and back. It is a first-party cookie that only the site can read, and it lasts 15 minutes.
3. Anonymous analytics
Analytics is optional: switch it off and the site works the same. Today PFR uses it for one thing only: A/B tests, where visitors who allowed analytics are split between versions of one page element, such as a button label, to see which works better.
For a test PFR sets one first-party cookie, pfr_xid, and only on a page that is running one: a random ID that is not linked to your account. It lasts 12 months at most, never longer than your choice, and is deleted as soon as you switch analytics off. PFR stores only a one-way hash (SHA-256) of the ID, with the version you saw and whether you then followed a PFR link to a firm.
If PFR adds any other analytics, this page will name it and you will be asked again. Separately, PFR tallies how often each offer's code is revealed or copied — per offer, with no cookie and nothing that identifies you. No names, emails or raw IP addresses are kept.
4. Advertising cookies
PFR uses no advertising cookies, on any page. No firm ever receives your data.
5. Changing your choice
Open Cookie preferences from the footer at any time. A change applies straight away. Clearing cookies in your browser also works, but it signs you out.
