Cookie policy
Updated 21 October 2026
Cookies are small files the browser stores. We keep necessary cookies, without asking, so the site works. Anonymous statistics cookies and browser storage are kept only if you allow them. The site has no advertising or personal tracking cookies and no third-party analytics.
Cookies
| Name | Type | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
agd_session | Necessary | Keeps you signed in. Created only after sign-in. | Up to 60 days (7 days for staff accounts) |
agd_safe | Necessary | Remembers your safe search choice. Created only after you choose. | 1 year |
agd_consent | Necessary | Remembers your choice in the cookie notice. | 12 months |
agd_sid | Statistics, with your approval | A random ID for this browser in search. Groups the browser's searches so results can improve from clicks, and is sent to our ad system ad.agudot.com, which picks sponsored results. We store only a hash of it, with no IP address. | 6 months |
Browser storage
| Name | Type | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
agd-a11y | Necessary | The settings you chose in the accessibility menu. They stay on your device and are not sent to us. | Until you clear it |
agd_keys | Necessary | Remembers whether keyboard shortcuts in search results are on. Created only after you choose. | Until you clear it |
agd-maps-list-only | Necessary | Remembers whether Maps showed the list only. Created only after you choose. | Until you clear it |
agudot-v1 (Cache Storage) | Necessary | An offline page and fixed site files (scripts, styles and icons), so the site loads fast and can show a message when there is no network. No pages or personal data are stored in it. | Until the site is updated |
agd_pwa_id | Statistics, with your approval | A random ID for an anonymous count of installs of the site as an app. | Until you clear it |
agd_pwa_launch | Statistics, with your approval | The last date an opening of the installed app was counted, so it is counted once a day. | Until you clear it |
agd_click (sessionStorage) | Statistics, with your approval | Briefly remembers which result you clicked, to tell whether you came straight back or stayed on the page. | Until the tab is closed |
More details
- The language is set by the page address (/he for Hebrew) and is not kept in a cookie.
- Clicking a sponsored result goes through ad.agudot.com, where its own cookie policy applies.
- Without the statistics approval, search works as usual: every search counts as a separate search and no ID is kept on your device.
How to control it
You can change your choice at any time, and withdraw an approval: when you save, the statistics ID is removed from the browser. You can also clear cookies and storage in the browser settings. Deleting agd_session signs you out.
