Cookie Policy

What Are Cookies Anyway?

Think of cookies as small notes your browser stores when you visit our site. They help us remember things about your visit—like which language you prefer or whether you're logged in. Most modern websites use them, and while the name sounds friendly, the technology itself is quite straightforward.

These tiny text files sit on your device and contain information that gets sent back to our server when you return. Some stick around for years, others disappear when you close your browser. We use both types, depending on what we're trying to accomplish.

How We Use Tracking Technologies

Our website employs several tracking methods to function properly and give you a decent experience. Here's what actually happens behind the scenes:

• Session Management: When you log into your gynarolent account, we need to remember you're logged in as you move between pages. Without this, you'd have to re-enter credentials constantly.
• Preference Storage: If you adjust dashboard settings or choose specific report views, we save those choices so you don't have to reconfigure everything each visit.
• Site Performance: We track how pages load and where things might be slowing down. This helps us fix problems before they affect everyone.
• Usage Analysis: Understanding which features get used most helps us decide where to focus development time. If nobody clicks a button, maybe it needs to be clearer—or maybe it's not useful.

Types of Cookies We Deploy

Not all cookies serve the same purpose. We've organized ours into categories based on what they do:

Other Tracking Technologies We Use

Cookies aren't the only game in town. We also use a few other tracking methods that work similarly:

• Web Beacons: Tiny transparent images embedded in pages or emails that tell us when content was viewed. These help us understand email open rates and page engagement.
• Local Storage: Similar to cookies but can hold more data. We use this for caching report data so pages load faster on repeat visits.
• Session Storage: Temporary storage that disappears when you close your browser tab. Useful for maintaining state during a single session.
• Server Logs: Our servers automatically record basic information like IP addresses, browser types, and timestamps. This is standard for any website and helps with security monitoring.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You're not stuck with our default settings. Most browsers give you pretty granular control over cookies, and we respect whatever choices you make. Here's how this usually works:

Remember that blocking cookies might affect how our site works for you. Features like saved dashboard layouts or remembered login states won't function without the relevant cookies enabled.

How Long We Keep Cookie Data

Different cookies have different lifespans. Session cookies vanish when you close your browser—they're temporary by design. Persistent cookies stick around longer, sometimes for months or years.

Here's roughly what we do:

• Authentication tokens expire after 30 days of inactivity
• Preference cookies last up to 12 months
• Analytics data gets aggregated and anonymized after 90 days
• Marketing cookies typically expire after 6 months

You can delete cookies manually anytime through your browser settings. We also provide options to clear specific preferences from your account dashboard.

Third-Party Cookies and External Services

Some cookies on our site come from external services we use—things like analytics platforms or content delivery networks. We don't control these cookies directly, though we choose our partners carefully.

Third-party services we currently work with include:

• Analytics Providers: Help us understand site traffic and user behavior patterns
  • Aggregate usage statistics
  • Page performance metrics
  • User flow analysis
• Content Delivery Networks: Serve site assets faster by caching them globally
  • Speed optimization
  • Reduced server load
• Support Tools: Enable customer service features and help desk functionality
  • Chat session continuity
  • Support ticket tracking

These third parties have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them if you want the complete picture of how your data gets handled.

Updates to This Policy

We update this policy occasionally—usually when we add new features or change how we handle data. When significant changes happen, we'll notify active users via email and post an update on this page.

The date at the top shows when we last revised this document. We suggest checking back every few months if you want to stay current with how we manage tracking technologies.
