What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you visit our website. They help us provide you with a better experience by remembering your preferences and analyzing how you use our Web-Platform.

We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device for a set period) to enhance functionality and security.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential cookies are necessary for our website to function properly. These include authentication cookies, security cookies, and cookies that remember your preferences during your session.

Analytics cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. We use this data to improve our Web-Platform and user experience.

Functional Cookies

Functional cookies enable enhanced functionality and personalization, such as remembering your login status, language preferences, and customized dashboard settings.

These cookies improve your user experience but are not essential for basic website functionality. You can disable them through your browser settings or our cookie preferences.

Security and Authentication Cookies

Security cookies protect against cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks and help maintain secure sessions. Authentication cookies verify your identity and maintain your logged-in status.

These cookies are essential for Web-Platform security and cannot be disabled while using our services. They are automatically deleted when you log out or after a period of inactivity.

Performance and Analytics Cookies

Performance cookies collect information about how you use our website, including which pages you visit most often and any error messages you encounter. This helps us identify and fix issues.

Analytics cookies provide insights into user behavior patterns, helping us optimize our Web-Platform design and functionality. All analytics data is aggregated and anonymized.

Third-Party Cookies

Some cookies are set by third-party services we use, such as integration partners like Slack and Jira. These cookies are governed by the respective privacy policies of those services.

We carefully select third-party partners and ensure they meet our privacy and security standards. You can manage third-party cookies through your browser settings.

Cookie Consent and Management

When you first visit our website, you'll see a cookie consent banner allowing you to accept or customize your cookie preferences. You can change these preferences at any time.

Essential cookies cannot be disabled as they are necessary for basic website functionality and security. Non-essential cookies require your explicit consent.

Browser Cookie Controls

Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can choose to accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or be notified when cookies are being sent.

Please note that disabling cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of our Web-Platform. Some functionality may not work properly without cookies enabled.

Cookie Retention Periods

Session cookies are deleted when you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain on your device for varying periods, typically ranging from 30 days to 2 years, depending on their purpose.

Authentication cookies expire after a period of inactivity for security purposes. Preference cookies may be retained longer to maintain your customized experience across visits.

Mobile App Data Collection

Our mobile applications may use similar technologies to cookies, such as local storage and device identifiers, to provide functionality and improve user experience.

Mobile data collection is governed by the same principles as our web cookie policy and is subject to your device's privacy settings and permissions.

International Cookie Compliance

Our cookie practices comply with international regulations, including the EU Cookie Directive, GDPR, and CCPA. We obtain appropriate consent before setting non-essential cookies.

For users in the European Economic Area, we provide granular cookie controls and clear information about the legal basis for cookie processing.

Cookie Policy Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.

Significant changes to our cookie practices will be communicated through email notifications or prominent website notices before taking effect.

Data Protection and Privacy

Cookie data is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws. We implement appropriate security measures to protect cookie data from unauthorized access.

Personal data collected through cookies is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy and our Privacy Policy.
