Cookie Policy
Our Privacy Policy explains our principles when it comes to the collection, processing, and storage of your information. This policy specifically explains how we deploy cookies.
We use cookies for very little, so this will be short.
What Are Cookies
Cookies are small pieces of data, stored in text files, that are stored on your computer or other device when websites are loaded in a browser. They are widely used to "remember" you and your preferences, either for a single visit (through a "session cookie") or for multiple repeat visits (using a "persistent cookie"). They ensure a consistent and efficient experience for visitors, and perform essential functions such as allowing users to register and remain logged in. Cookies may be set by the site that you are visiting (known as "first party cookies"), or by third parties, such as those who serve content or provide advertising or analytics services on the website ("third party cookies"). Both websites and HTML emails may also contain other tracking technologies such as "web beacons" or "pixels." These are typically small transparent images that provide us with statistics, for similar purposes as cookies. They are often used in conjunction with cookies, though they are not stored on your computer in the same way. As a result, if you disable cookies, web beacons may still load, but their functionality will be restricted.
The legal definition of a cookie is broader than the technical definition of a cookie commonly used by engineers. For the purposes of this policy, we use the broader definition which includes tracking pixels, web beacons, local storage, and other technologies that are used to store information on your device.
How We Use Cookies
We use cookies solely to provide our services. We do not use cookies for advertising, analytic, or tracking purposes.
Where We Place Cookies
We set cookies when a user signs into our site and when authenticated users utilize certain features.
Categories of Cookies
There is only one category of cookie that we use: "Essential Cookies".
These cookies are essential for our websites and services to perform basic functions and are necessary for us to operate certain features. These include those required to allow registered users to authenticate and perform account-related functions, store preferences set by users such as account name, language, and location, and ensure our services are operating properly.
Examples
Below are examples of the cookies set by Cloud Snitch, with explanations of their purpose.
- "auth" - This is set when a user signs into the site. It is used to authenticate the user.
- "team" - This is set whenever a user navigates to a team page. It is used to automatically return the user to the last team they were viewing if they leave and come back.
Controlling Cookies
Because we only use essential cookies, your only choice if you do not want to use them is to not use our service. It is impossible to use our service without cookies.
