Cookie policy
Last updated October 30, 2026
Spotlight (seo.cavilconsult.com) is run by Cavil Consult. Cookies are small files a website saves in your browser. We keep them to a minimum: just browsing the site, running a website check or reading a report sets no cookies at all.
What we use
Everything below is needed for a feature you choose to use. We don't use advertising, tracking or analytics cookies.
| Name | Type | What it does | How long it lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
sf_… | Cookie (essential) | Set when you open a Fix Center. It proves this browser started that Fix Center, so only you can change its fixes. | 180 days |
spotlight-fix:… | Browser storage (essential) | Remembers which Fix Center belongs to a report, so the “Start fixing” button takes you back to it. | Until you clear it |
cavil_admin | Cookie (essential) | Keeps Cavil Consult staff signed in to the back office. Visitors never get this cookie. | Until the browser closes, or 30 days if “remember me” is ticked |
Essential and optional cookies
Essential cookies are needed for a feature to work, so they don't need your consent. Optional cookies (such as analytics or advertising) do. Spotlight currently uses only essential cookies, which is why we don't show a cookie banner. If we ever add optional cookies, we'll ask first and update this page.
Payments
When you pay, you leave our site for Stripe's or PayPal's own secure checkout page. Those companies set their own cookies there to process the payment and prevent fraud. See the Stripe cookie policy and the PayPal cookie settings. We don't load Stripe or PayPal code on our own pages, and our fonts are served from our own server, not Google.
How to remove cookies
You can delete cookies and site data at any time in your browser settings (for example, in Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Delete browsing data). If you delete the sf_… cookie, you can still view your Fix Center but won't be able to change it from that browser.
