1. About this Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how SIXBYTE may use cookies, local storage, session storage, authentication tokens and similar browser technologies when you use the SIXBYTE website and portfolio hosting platform. It should be read together with our Privacy Policy.
2. What are cookies?
Cookies are small pieces of data that websites can store through your browser. Modern web applications may also use technologies such as local storage, session storage and secure authentication tokens. These technologies help websites remember information between requests and sessions.
3. Essential technologies used by SIXBYTE
SIXBYTE may use technologies that are strictly or reasonably necessary to provide core Service functions, including:
- creating and maintaining secure login sessions;
- recognising authenticated users;
- protecting accounts against unauthorised access;
- supporting email verification and password-reset flows;
- remembering necessary account or interface state;
- preventing abuse, fraud and malicious activity; and
- maintaining reliable website operation.
Some essential technologies cannot be disabled without preventing account features or other parts of SIXBYTE from working correctly.
4. Authentication
When you sign in, our authentication provider may use secure cookies or equivalent technologies to maintain your session. This allows SIXBYTE to recognise that you have authenticated without asking you to enter your password on every page.
Authentication cookies should be treated as sensitive browser data. You should not copy or intentionally disclose session tokens to other people.
5. Preferences and browser storage
SIXBYTE may use browser storage to remember settings or temporary application state where this improves the operation of the Service. Examples can include interface preferences, security state and information needed to complete a user-requested workflow.
6. Analytics and performance
SIXBYTE does not currently rely on targeted advertising cookies to provide its core portfolio-hosting Service. If we introduce non-essential analytics, advertising or tracking technologies in the future, we will update this Policy and provide consent or preference controls where required by applicable law.
Infrastructure providers may still generate technical logs and operational measurements required for security, reliability, fraud prevention and delivery of the Service.
7. Third-party technologies
Providers that help operate SIXBYTE may use necessary cookies or similar technologies as part of authentication, hosting, cybersecurity, content delivery or other technical functions. Their processing of information may also be governed by their own privacy documentation.
8. Managing cookies
Most browsers allow you to view, delete or block cookies and clear website data. Browser settings vary, so consult your browser's privacy or site-data controls for specific instructions.
Blocking essential cookies, authentication storage or site data may prevent you from signing in or may cause parts of SIXBYTE to stop functioning correctly.
9. Do Not Track and similar signals
Browser privacy signals and industry standards continue to evolve. SIXBYTE does not currently use cross-site targeted advertising as part of its core Service. Where applicable law creates obligations around recognised browser privacy signals, we will update our practices as required.
10. Changes to this Cookie Policy
We may update this Policy if the technologies used by SIXBYTE change, new functionality is introduced or applicable requirements change. The current version will display its latest update date.
