Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small, encrypted text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website or interact with an online platform. They are widely used to make platforms work more efficiently, as well as to provide critical operational information to the owners of the site.

In the context of the ZYNIQ LABS platform, cookies and similar local storage technologies (such as SessionStorage and LocalStorage) are primarily utilized to maintain session state, preserve user preferences across sessions, and ensure continuous secure connections to the infrastructure.

2. How We Use Cookies

We use cookies for a variety of reasons detailed below. Unfortunately, in most cases, there are no industry standard options for disabling cookies without completely disabling the functionality and security features they add to this platform.

It is highly recommended that you leave on all cookies if you are not sure whether you need them, particularly if they are used to provide a service that you are currently utilizing, such as secure terminal access or cryptographic verification.

3. Essential Operations (Strictly Necessary)

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the operation of the ZYNIQ LABS platform. Without these cookies, the services that you have asked for cannot be provided.

• Authentication Tokens: Used to identify you once you have logged in and to maintain your session securely across different components of the ZYNIQ LABS core.
• Security Hashes: Used to detect and prevent anomalous activities, fraudulent login attempts, and to enforce rate limiting on API requests.
• State Persistence: Used to temporarily store transient state information, such as multi-step cryptographic signing processes, before they are finalized on the ledger.

4. Telemetry & Analytics (Performance)

In order to provide the highest level of system reliability and to support our operational intelligence systems, we utilize performance cookies to collect telemetry data.

These cookies collect information about how visitors use the platform, for instance, which endpoints visitors go to most often, connection latency, and if they receive error messages from the APIs. These cookies do not collect information that directly identifies a visitor in a human-readable format; all data is aggregated and linked to cryptographic identities. This data is exclusively used to improve how the underlying infrastructure works.

5. Third-Party Tracking

As a general principle, ZYNIQ LABS restricts the integration of third-party tracking scripts to prevent data leakage and maintain strong security boundaries.

However, in certain isolated instances, trusted third-party services (such as distributed node providers or specialized security auditors) may place cookies on your device to facilitate specific decentralized operations. Any such third-party integration is strictly vetted and constrained by our internal security doctrine.

6. Your Control Rights

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our platform, though your access to some critical functionality and highly-secured areas of the ZYNIQ LABS core may be strictly restricted or completely disabled.

As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser-to-browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information.

7. Policy Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore re-visit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.

The date at the top of this Cookie Policy indicates when it was last updated. Material changes to this policy will be broadcast via the internal notification system for all authenticated operators.
