Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites store on your device to help websites function properly, remember preferences, and improve the user experience.

Cookies may be:

• Session Cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser.
• Persistent Cookies, which remain on your device until they expire or are deleted.

2. Our Privacy-First Approach

ExploreOS is built with privacy in mind.

We do not use cookies to:

• Track you across websites.
• Build advertising profiles.
• Deliver targeted advertisements.
• Sell or share your browsing behavior.
• Identify you for marketing purposes.

Our goal is to minimize the amount of information stored on your device while still providing a secure and functional service.

3. Cookies We Use

We use only cookies that are necessary for the operation of ExploreOS.

Authentication Cookies

These cookies keep you signed in, verify your account session, and help prevent unauthorized access. Without these cookies, user accounts cannot function properly.

Security Cookies

Security cookies help us protect against fraudulent activity, detect abuse, prevent unauthorized access, and maintain the security of the Service.

Preference Cookies

Where applicable, we may use cookies to remember preferences such as interface settings, user preferences, and accessibility options. These cookies improve your experience but are not used to track your activity across other websites.

4. Cookies We Do Not Use

As of the Effective Date of this Policy, ExploreOS does not use:

• Advertising cookies.
• Third-party marketing cookies.
• Cross-site tracking cookies.
• Behavioral advertising technologies.
• Social media tracking pixels.
• Third-party profiling technologies.

If our practices change in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy before introducing such technologies where required by law.

5. Third-Party Cookies

We do not intentionally allow third parties to place advertising or tracking cookies through ExploreOS.

Some third-party services that are necessary for operating the Service, such as payment providers or embedded content, may set their own cookies when you interact directly with those services. Those cookies are governed by the privacy policies of the respective providers, not by ExploreOS.

6. Essential Cookies

The cookies we use are considered essential because they are necessary to:

• Provide secure login functionality.
• Maintain authenticated sessions.
• Protect user accounts.
• Ensure the secure operation of the Service.

Because these cookies are required for the Service to function, they generally cannot be disabled through ExploreOS.

7. Managing Cookies

Most web browsers allow you to view stored cookies, delete existing cookies, block future cookies, and configure cookie preferences.

Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent portions of ExploreOS from functioning correctly, including account login and subscription management.

8. Browser Storage

In addition to cookies, modern web browsers may provide technologies such as local storage or session storage.

If ExploreOS uses these technologies, they are used only as necessary to provide requested functionality and are not used for advertising or cross-site tracking.

9. Do Not Track

Some browsers include a "Do Not Track" (DNT) preference.

Although there is no universally accepted standard governing DNT signals, ExploreOS supports the principles behind them by avoiding advertising and cross-site tracking technologies regardless of whether a DNT signal is enabled.

10. Future Changes

If we introduce analytics, optional cookies, or additional technologies in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and, where required by applicable law, request your consent before those technologies are used.

11. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time.

When we make material changes, we will revise the Effective Date at the top of this Policy.

Your continued use of ExploreOS after the revised policy becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
