1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently and provide information to website owners.

Cookies typically contain:

• A unique identifier
• The site name and some data
• An expiration date (some cookies expire when you close your browser, others persist)

2. Legal Basis for Using Cookies

We use cookies based on the following legal grounds:

• Consent: For analytics and non-essential cookies, we obtain your explicit consent via our cookie banner
• Legitimate interests: For strictly necessary cookies required for website functionality (GDPR Article 6(1)(f))

Under the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR, we must inform you about cookies and obtain your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device.

3. Cookies We Use

3.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the website to function properly. They enable core functionality such as security, network management, and accessibility. You cannot opt-out of these cookies as they are required for the website to work.

3.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your preferences (e.g., dark mode, language). They may be set by us or by third-party providers.

3.3 Analytics and Performance Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve our website performance and user experience.

Note: We currently do not use third-party analytics cookies (such as Google Analytics). If we implement analytics in the future, we will update this policy and request your consent.

4. Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are placed by third-party services that appear on our pages. We use the following third-party services that may set cookies:

6. Local Storage and Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, we use localStorage (a browser storage mechanism) to store:

• Your cookie consent preference (cifral_cookie_consent)

localStorage data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to our servers. You can clear localStorage data through your browser's developer tools or by clearing your browsing data.

8. Do Not Track (DNT)

Some browsers support a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. Currently, there is no industry standard for how to respond to DNT signals. We do not track users across third-party websites and therefore do not respond to DNT signals. If a standard is established, we will reassess our DNT policy.

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in technology, legislation, our operations, or best practices. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
