Cookie Policy and Settings
Effective and last updated: 21 October 2026
Optional analytics and marketing are off until you opt in. You can accept all, reject nonessential tools, or choose categories separately. Refusing does not prevent you from signing in, buying products or using our API services.
Who is responsible
MagnetAPI.org is operated by Open ISP cc, Registration Number: 2005/156968/23, based in South Africa. Contact support@magnetapi.org for privacy questions. This policy explains website cookies, local storage and similar browser technologies. Our Privacy Policy explains wider account, billing, service and security processing.
Your choices
The first-visit dialog offers equally accessible Accept all and Reject nonessential buttons. Settings has separate, initially unselected analytics and marketing options. Continuing or pressing Escape without making a choice keeps optional tools off. Browsing, buying a product, or accepting general terms does not mean you accept optional cookies.
Use Cookie settings in the footer at any time to change or withdraw consent. We remember acceptance and rejection for up to 180 days from your choice, on this browser and website only. After expiry, a material change to optional purposes, or clearing the preference, we ask again. If storage is blocked, necessary service functions remain subject to your browser capabilities and the dialog may appear again.
We honor Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track by keeping optional analytics and marketing off, even when an older saved choice allowed them. Change your browser signal before choosing optional tools.
What we use and why
| Category and provider | Storage and purpose | Duration and choice |
|---|---|---|
| Necessary — MagnetAPI.org | Sign-in/session and API setup storage, account security, fraud prevention, requested payment flow, saved interface preferences, and your consent choice. Cookie magnetapi_cookie_consent and local storage codexapi_privacy_consent_v1 remember categories, policy version and choice time; they are not account credentials. | Consent preference: up to 180 days. Account sessions follow their service expiry; browser preferences remain until replaced or cleared. Necessary controls stay active. |
| Analytics — MagnetAPI.org | Optional first-party page statistics use page, time, general browser/device category, referrer hostname, country where supplied, and a keyed pseudonymous visitor identifier. The analytics table does not retain raw IP addresses or full user-agent strings. Cookieless measurement is still optional here. | Detailed analytics rows are removed after 90 days. Requires Analytics consent; collection also checks the preference cookie and privacy signals server-side. |
| Analytics — Google Analytics | Configured Google tag measures public page visits. Google may use _ga and _ga_* cookies and receive connection/browser data. We configure the direct tag not to use Google signals or advertising personalization and omit URL query strings from its page location. | Our direct tag requests a fixed 180-day cookie lifetime. Requires Analytics consent. The browser or provider can impose shorter limits. |
| Marketing — Meta and Reddit | Configured pixels measure advertising visits and may use identifiers such as _fbp, _fbc and _rdt_uuid. Providers receive browser/connection data, page context and their own identifiers. Our consent loader does not send authenticated name, email or phone details or treat signup as a paid purchase. | Requires Marketing consent. Exact provider cookie lifetimes and processing can vary; consult their linked policies and your browser's cookie details. |
| Combined — Google Tag Manager | Our configured container can manage measurement and advertising tags, so we load it only when both optional categories are allowed. Its tags may involve Google or the configured advertising providers. | Requires both Analytics and Marketing consent. Tags and their storage follow their purpose and provider policies. |
| Necessary external services | When you choose PayPal checkout, Paymento crypto payment, or a third-party sign-in/download link, that provider may use storage needed for the service you request on its own site. Those providers have their own policies. | Only when you request the relevant external service; our optional analytics choice does not block checkout or change provider processing. |
Provider information and international processing
Optional providers can process information outside South Africa and the European Economic Area. Read Google's Privacy Policy, Google's cookie information, Meta's Cookies Policy, and Reddit's Cookie Notice for their purposes, retention, international safeguards and controls. Optional scripts are not loaded on our Admin, login, dashboard, redemption or account-verification pages by this consent layer.
Withdrawing consent and deleting storage
Reject nonessential or turn off a previously allowed category in Cookie settings. We save the new choice, remove accessible analytics/marketing cookies we own, and reload the page to stop previously loaded optional scripts. Requests already sent cannot be recalled. We cannot remove cookies on a provider's own domain or erase historical records just by changing a browser preference; use the provider's controls or contact us about applicable data rights. Necessary account sessions and API credentials are not deleted when you change optional consent.
You can also view, block or delete cookies and local storage in your browser. Clearing necessary session storage can sign you out. Blocking optional tools does not remove a product entitlement, wallet credit, or subscription. Security and legally required transaction records are separate from optional visit tracking.
Changes and contact
We update this policy when our website purposes or tools change. Material optional-purpose changes require a new choice. For access, correction, erasure, objection, withdrawal or other applicable rights, contact support@magnetapi.org. You may also contact the data protection authority where you live.
