Cookie Policy
This Cookie Policy explains how Vortex Sync uses cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and service workers) when you use our websites and web application. We use these technologies sparingly and primarily to make the Service work — not to track you across the web.
Contents
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by a website. “Similar technologies” include browser local storage, IndexedDB, and service workers, which a web application can use to store data on your device. We refer to all of these collectively as “cookies” in this Policy.
2. Technologies We Use
- Cookies — to maintain your session and security state.
- Local storage / IndexedDB — to securely store cryptographic key material on your device and to cache encrypted message data for offline access.
- Service worker — to enable the installable app experience, offline support, and push notifications you opt into.
3. Categories & Purposes
| Category | Purpose | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly necessary | Authentication, session security, load balancing, and core delivery of the Service. | Yes — the Service cannot function without these. |
| Functional | Remembering your preferences (e.g., theme) and enabling the installable PWA and offline cache. | No — but the experience is reduced without them. |
| Performance / diagnostics | Aggregated, privacy-preserving error and reliability diagnostics. | No — subject to your choices where required by law. |
4. No Advertising or Cross-Site Tracking
We do not use advertising cookies, and we do not sell or share your information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not embed third-party advertising trackers in the Service.
5. Managing Your Preferences
Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting them. Note that blocking strictly necessary cookies will prevent the Service from working. You can also clear local storage and unregister the service worker through your browser’s site-data controls. Where required by law, we will present a consent mechanism for non-essential cookies and honor your choices.
6. Changes
We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date above.
