Cookie Policy
1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to site owners. Cookies can be set by the website you are visiting (first-party cookies) or by third-party services operating on that website.
2. How We Use Cookies
Sitenyx uses cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential Cookies: Required for core platform functionality including authentication, security, session management, and CSRF protection. These cookies cannot be disabled as the service cannot function without them.
- Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our platform by collecting anonymous usage statistics. We use Google Analytics 4 with IP anonymization enabled.
- Preference Cookies: Remember your settings such as language preference, theme (light/dark mode), and display options to provide a personalized experience.
- Marketing Cookies: Used to track visitors across websites to display relevant advertisements. These are only set with your explicit consent.
3. Third-Party Cookies
Our platform may include cookies from trusted third-party services: Google Analytics (analytics and usage reporting), Stripe (secure payment processing), and Cloudflare (performance and security). Each third-party service has its own cookie policy. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies for more information about how they handle your data.
4. Cookie Duration
Cookies on our platform fall into two categories based on their lifespan:
- Session Cookies: Temporary cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. These are used for authentication and maintaining your session state.
- Persistent Cookies: Remain on your device for a set period (typically 30 days to 2 years). These are used for preferences, analytics, and recognizing returning visitors.
5. Managing Your Cookie Preferences
You can manage your cookie preferences at any time through our cookie consent banner or your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from websites. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our platform. You can also opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
6. Consent
In accordance with EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR requirements, we request your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device. Essential cookies do not require consent as they are strictly necessary for the service to function. You can modify or withdraw your consent at any time. Your consent preferences are stored in a cookie that expires after 12 months, after which you will be asked again.
7. Impact of Disabling Cookies
If you choose to disable cookies, some features of our platform may not work as intended. Specifically: without essential cookies, you cannot log in or use the website editor; without preference cookies, your language and theme settings will reset on each visit; without analytics cookies, we cannot improve the platform based on usage patterns. We recommend keeping essential and preference cookies enabled for the best experience.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons. We will notify you of significant changes by posting a notice on our website. The date at the top of this policy indicates when it was last revised.
