COOKIES POLICY
Last updated: July 23, 2025
This Cookies & Tracking Technologies Policy ("Policy") explains how SenSec LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company ("SenSec," "we," "us," "our"), uses cookies, SDKs, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies (collectively, "Cookies") on sensec.app and our SaaS platform (the "Service"), and how you can control them. This Policy is part of our Privacy Policy and should be read alongside it.
1. Who We Are
SenSec LLC
30 N Gould St Ste N
Sheridan, WY 82801, USA
Email: privacy@sensec.app
If you are in the EU/EEA or UK, you may also contact our representative identified in the Privacy Policy once appointed.
2. What Are Cookies & Similar Technologies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device to store information.
Local storage / session storage are browser-based mechanisms to store data.
Pixels / web beacons / tags are small code snippets that load when you visit a page or open an email.
SDKs (software development kits) are code libraries used in mobile apps.
We use the term "Cookies" broadly to cover all of these technologies.
3. Why We Use Cookies
We use Cookies to:
Make the Service work (authentication, security, load balancing).
Remember your settings (language, preferences).
Measure performance (analytics, error tracking).
Improve the product (A/B testing, feature adoption metrics).
Support marketing/advertising (with consent where required).
We do not sell personal information and only "share" for cross‑context advertising with your opt‑in consent (see Privacy Policy, Section 12).
4. Categories of Cookies We Use
4.1 Strictly Necessary (Essential)
Purpose: Core functionality—login, security, session management, load balancing, consent storage.

4.2 Functional / Preference
Purpose: Remember language, UI preferences, saved filters.

4.3 Performance & Analytics

4.5 Advertising / Retargeting (Optional)

Note: We use these sparingly and only for our B2B marketing.
5. Specific Cookies & Tools
Below is an illustrative (non‑exhaustive) list. The exact set may change over time; the live version in our consent banner/CMP will always be authoritative.

6. Your Choices & Controls
6.1 Consent Banner / CMP
On your first visit (and periodically thereafter), we present a banner or preference center that lets you:
Accept all non-essential Cookies
Reject all non-essential Cookies
Customize categories and individual vendors
Your choices are stored in a consent cookie. You can revisit preferences via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.
6.2 Browser / Device Settings
Most browsers let you block or delete Cookies. Instructions:
Chrome: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and other site data
Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Blocking essential Cookies may impact core functionality. Mobile apps may allow you to reset advertising IDs or disable certain SDK tracking in OS settings.
6.3 Global Privacy Control (GPC) / Do Not Track (DNT)
We honor legally binding signal standards where applicable (e.g., GPC for CPRA "do not sell/share"). DNT is not standardized; we rely on the consent tools above.
7. Data Retention via Cookies
Session cookies: deleted when you close the browser/app session.
Persistent cookies: live until their stated expiry (max 12 months unless otherwise permitted/required).
Analytics data: generally retained up to 26 months (see Privacy Policy Section 7).
Backups and logs may store cookie-derived data longer for security/legal reasons.
8. International Transfers
Some Cookie providers are located outside your country (e.g., in the U.S.). When required, we use appropriate safeguards (SCCs, UK Addendum, encryption, access controls) as explained in the Privacy Policy.
