This Cookie Policy explains how Skygenic Inc. ("Skygenic," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on www.skygenic.com and the Skygenic Platform (collectively, the "Services"). This Policy is incorporated by reference into our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website you visit. They are widely used to make websites function, provide reporting information, and store user preferences. Cookies may be session-based (deleted when you close your browser) or persistent (remaining on your device for a defined period).
2. Our Cookie Practices
Skygenic does not use tracking, analytics, advertising, or behavioral cookies on www.skygenic.com or the Skygenic Platform.
We do not collect personal data through cookies for marketing, profiling, or third-party commercial purposes. Specifically:
- We do not use Google Analytics, advertising networks, social media pixels, or behavioral tracking technologies.
- We do not use Flash cookies, web beacons, or pixel tags for tracking purposes.
- We do not permit third-party advertisers to place cookies on our Services.
- We do not build user profiles based on browsing activity.
3. Strictly Necessary Session Cookies (Platform Login Only)
The Skygenic Platform (accessed after account login) may use strictly necessary session cookies solely to enable authenticated access. These cookies:
- Are temporary and are automatically deleted when you close your browser session.
- Are strictly necessary for the Platform to function and cannot be disabled without preventing access to authenticated features.
- Do not contain personal data beyond a session identifier.
- Are not used for any tracking, profiling, or analytics purpose.
- Are exempt from consent requirements under applicable privacy frameworks (including GDPR/ePrivacy Directive) as strictly necessary technical cookies.
No other cookies are set by the Skygenic Platform.
4. Third-Party Services
The Services are hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), a service provided by Google LLC. Google Cloud may process technical data necessary for infrastructure operation. This processing is governed by Google's own privacy documentation available at cloud.google.com. Skygenic does not control and is not responsible for any data collection by GCP beyond its role as a data processor under our agreement.
Where payment processing services are used, any cookies or tracking technologies deployed by such third-party payment processors are governed by their own policies and are not controlled by Skygenic.
5. Browser Controls
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Please note that disabling strictly necessary session cookies will prevent you from accessing authenticated areas of the Skygenic Platform. For guidance on managing cookies in your browser, refer to your browser's help documentation.
6. Do Not Track
Some browsers offer a Do Not Track (DNT) signal. Because Skygenic does not engage in cross-site tracking of users, we do not alter our practices in response to DNT signals. Our limited use of strictly necessary session cookies is not affected by DNT settings.
7. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Any material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Where you are a registered Platform user, a notification banner will be displayed at your next Platform login informing you of material updates. Continued use of the Services following the posting of changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.
