Cookie Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Novacekite ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies, pixels, tags, software development kits, local storage objects, and similar tracking technologies (collectively, "Cookies") on the website located at novacekite.net and any related subNovacekites, applications, and services that link to this policy (collectively, the "Service"). This policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy and our Terms and Conditions, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to the practices described in this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, you must refrain from using the Service or configure your browser settings as described below. This policy applies to all visitors, registered users, trial users, and customers of the Service, regardless of the device or connection method used to access it.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files containing a string of alphanumeric characters that a website transfers to your browser, which are then stored on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device. Cookies allow a website to recognize your device on subsequent visits, remember your preferences, maintain session state, measure the performance of pages and features, and deliver content and advertising that is more relevant to your interests. Cookies may be set directly by us ("first-party Cookies") or by third parties whose services we integrate into the Service ("third-party Cookies").

Cookies are commonly classified by their lifespan. "Session Cookies" exist only for the duration of your browsing session and are automatically deleted when you close your browser. "Persistent Cookies" remain on your device for a defined period or until you delete them, and they allow us to recognize you across multiple sessions. Cookies are also classified by purpose, including Strictly Necessary (Essential), Functional, Analytics, and Marketing Cookies, as described in greater detail in the sections below.

In addition to Cookies, we may use other tracking technologies, including web beacons (also known as clear GIFs or pixel tags), JavaScript tags, mobile advertising identifiers, and HTML5 local storage. These technologies may operate independently or in conjunction with Cookies to collect information such as IP address, device type, operating system, browser type and version, referring URLs, pages viewed, time and date of access, clickstream data, and general geographic location derived from IP address. References to "Cookies" in this policy include these comparable technologies unless the context requires otherwise.

The United States does not currently maintain a single federal statute mandating prior consent for the placement of all Cookies. Instead, the prevailing model is transparency and opt-out based. However, because the Service is available to residents of multiple states, we describe and, where required, honor rights arising under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.), the Colorado Privacy Act (C.R.S. § 6-1-1301 et seq.), and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (Va. Code § 59.1-575 et seq.), among other applicable laws. Where those laws require notice at or before the point of collection, this policy and our Privacy Policy constitute that notice.

This Cookie Policy describes the categories of Cookies we use, the purposes for which they are used, the categories of third parties that may set them, the choices available to you, and how you may contact us with questions or requests. It does not, however, describe the practices of third parties in exhaustive detail, and we encourage you to review the privacy and cookie notices of those third parties directly.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use several categories of Cookies on the Service. The specific Cookies deployed may vary depending on the pages you visit, the features you use, whether you are logged in, and the configuration of your account. The categories we use, and the general purposes associated with each, are as follows:

  • Strictly Necessary (Essential) Cookies — required for the Service to function, including authentication, session management, security, and load balancing.
  • Functional Cookies — remember your preferences, such as language, region, display settings, and previously entered information, to provide a more personalized experience.
  • Analytics and Performance Cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with the Service, measure performance, diagnose errors, and improve features.
  • Marketing and Advertising Cookies — used to deliver relevant advertising, limit repeated advertisements, measure campaign effectiveness, and support cross-context behavioral advertising.
  • Third-Party Cookies — set by our service providers, analytics vendors, advertising partners, payment processors, and support platforms that operate on or through the Service.

Cookies may be set by us or by third parties, and they may be session-based or persistent. Functional, Analytics, and Marketing Cookies are generally optional, meaning the Service will substantially continue to operate if you disable them, although certain personalized features may be unavailable or degraded. Essential Cookies, by contrast, cannot be disabled without impairing core functionality, as explained in Section 3.

Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your affirmative opt-in consent before using Cookies for purposes that constitute processing of "sensitive data," before engaging in targeted advertising directed to individuals we know to be under the age of 16, and before enrolling you in any negative-option or auto-renewing program. We do not use Cookies to collect sensitive categories of personal information, such as precise geolocation, health data, or information revealing racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, or sexual orientation, without first providing a clear and conspicuous disclosure and obtaining consent where legally required.

We do not sell personal information collected through Cookies in the conventional sense of exchanging data for money. However, certain disclosures of personal information to advertising and analytics partners may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.). Where this is the case, we provide a clear method to opt out, as described in Section 7, and we honor opt-out preference signals transmitted by your browser or device.

Our use of Cookies is also governed by the Federal Trade Commission Act § 5 (15 U.S.C. § 45), which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices, including material misrepresentations regarding privacy and tracking practices. Accordingly, we describe our Cookie practices accurately and do not use design techniques that subvert or impair your ability to make an informed choice.

3. Essential Cookies

Essential Cookies are strictly necessary for the Service to operate and to deliver the features you request. Without these Cookies, the Service cannot function properly. Essential Cookies enable core capabilities such as user authentication and session continuity, account security and fraud prevention, protection against cross-site request forgery, load balancing and traffic distribution, and the storage of your Cookie preferences and consent choices.

These Cookies are typically session-based or short-lived, although a small number of persistent Essential Cookies may remain on your device to recognize returning authenticated users and enforce security controls. They do not track your browsing activity across unaffiliated websites for marketing purposes, and they are not used to build advertising profiles. The information collected is used solely for the operational, security, and integrity purposes described above.

Because Essential Cookies are necessary to provide the Service you have requested, they do not require prior opt-in consent under applicable United States law, and they generally may not be deactivated through our Cookie preference center. If you block or delete Essential Cookies through your browser settings, you may be unable to log in, complete transactions, access secure areas, or use other core features, and we cannot guarantee that the Service will function as intended.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Novacekite disclaims all liability for any loss, degradation, or inability to access the Service arising from your decision to block, disable, or delete Essential Cookies. You are solely responsible for configuring your browser and device settings in a manner consistent with your preferences and your continued use of the Service.

4. Analytics Cookies

We use Analytics Cookies to collect information about how visitors and users interact with the Service. These Cookies help us understand which pages and features are most frequently accessed, how users navigate through the Service, how long visitors remain on particular pages, from which sources traffic arrives, and where technical errors or performance bottlenecks occur. This information allows us to improve usability, prioritize product development, and maintain the reliability and security of the Service.

Analytics Cookies may be first-party or third-party Cookies, and they may be set by analytics providers that act as our service providers. Where required, those providers are contractually obligated to process personal information only for the purposes we specify, to apply appropriate confidentiality and security safeguards, and not to use the information for their own independent purposes. We take reasonable measures to configure analytics tools to limit the collection of identifiable information and to rely on aggregated, statistical, or de-identified data wherever feasible.

In some cases, analytics data may be treated as "deidentified information" under Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq. We maintain reasonable technical and organizational measures to ensure that deidentified information cannot be associated with an identifiable individual, and we do not attempt to reidentify such information except as permitted by law or as necessary to test the sufficiency of our deidentification controls.

You may limit or disable Analytics Cookies through our Cookie preference center, through your browser settings, or by transmitting a recognized opt-out preference signal such as the Global Privacy Control. Where such signals are received, we will treat them as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and, where technically feasible, as a request to limit analytics tracking associated with your browser or device.

Please note that disabling Analytics Cookies does not prevent us from collecting information through other lawful means, including server logs, error monitoring, and aggregated reporting generated from Essential Cookies. Where we rely on service providers that process personal information on our behalf, we require contractual terms consistent with the service provider obligations under applicable state privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, the Colorado Privacy Act (C.R.S. § 6-1-1301 et seq.), and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (Va. Code § 59.1-575 et seq.).

5. Marketing Cookies

Marketing Cookies are used to deliver advertising and promotional content that is more relevant to your interests, to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, and to support cross-context behavioral advertising across websites and applications. These Cookies may record information such as the pages you have visited, the content you have engaged with, the advertisements you have viewed or clicked, and the approximate location associated with your device, and they may be used to build or supplement interest-based profiles.

Marketing Cookies may be set by us or by third-party advertising networks, demand-side platforms, social media platforms, and measurement vendors. Because these disclosures may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.), you have the right to opt out of such sale or sharing. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers we know to be under the age of 16 without affirmative authorization, and we do not use Marketing Cookies to serve targeted advertising to children under 13 in violation of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (15 U.S.C. § 6501 et seq.).

We do not use dark patterns, manipulative interface designs, or obscured consent flows to obtain permission for Marketing Cookies. Any offer, subscription, or enrollment presented through the Service that involves an automatically renewing charge is disclosed in a clear and conspicuous manner before you incur any obligation, in accordance with the Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act (15 U.S.C. § 8401 et seq.) and the Federal Trade Commission Act § 5 (15 U.S.C. § 45).

You may withdraw your consent to Marketing Cookies at any time through our Cookie preference center, by transmitting an opt-out preference signal such as the Global Privacy Control, or by adjusting your browser and device settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal, and it may not eliminate all advertising you see; however, it should cause advertising to be less tailored to your inferred interests.

Opting out of Marketing Cookies does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements altogether. You may continue to see contextual advertising and general promotions based on the content of the page you are viewing rather than on behavioral profiles. We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration, and we do not permit third parties to use information collected through Marketing Cookies for purposes unrelated to the services they provide to us, except as disclosed in this policy and our Privacy Policy.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Certain Cookies on the Service are set and controlled by third parties, including analytics providers, advertising and measurement partners, payment processors, customer support platforms, security and fraud-prevention vendors, and content delivery networks. These third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites, applications, and devices when you use the Service, and they may combine that information with data collected from other sources.

We do not control the Cookies set by third parties, and we do not control the privacy or data retention practices of those third parties. Their handling of personal information is governed by their own privacy and cookie policies, which we strongly encourage you to review. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Novacekite disclaims all liability arising from the acts, omissions, or data practices of third parties whose Cookies are placed through the Service.

Where we engage vendors that process personal information on our behalf, we require contractual commitments consistent with applicable law, including obligations to process personal information only for specified purposes, to provide a level of privacy protection comparable to that required by applicable state privacy laws, to assist with consumer rights requests, and to implement reasonable security measures. Where personal information is transferred from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland to the United States, we rely on appropriate transfer mechanisms, including the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (in effect July 2023), Standard Contractual Clauses, or other lawful mechanisms as applicable.

The Service may contain links to third-party websites, plug-ins, or integrations. If you click on those links or enable those integrations, the relevant third party may collect information about you pursuant to its own policies. We are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of any third-party website or service, and your use of any third-party service is at your sole risk.

7. How to Control Cookies

You have a number of options for controlling and limiting the Cookies used on the Service. Where required by applicable law, we provide a Cookie preference center that allows you to accept or reject optional categories of Cookies, including Functional, Analytics, and Marketing Cookies, and to change your choices at any time. Your preferences are stored and applied to your browser to the extent technically feasible, and you may need to update your preferences if you change browsers, devices, or clear your browser data.

We also honor opt-out preference signals, including the Global Privacy Control, in a frictionless manner, as required by the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act. When a recognized opt-out preference signal is received, we treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and as a request to limit the use of optional Cookies for those purposes, to the extent technically feasible.

Because the Service is available to residents of multiple states, you may exercise rights afforded by the Colorado Privacy Act (C.R.S. § 6-1-1301 et seq.) and the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (Va. Code § 59.1-575 et seq.), including the right to opt out of targeted advertising, the right to opt out of the sale of personal data, and the right to appeal a refused request. You may submit a request or an appeal by contacting us using the details in Section 10. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

Exercising your privacy choices will not result in discriminatory treatment. We will not deny you goods or services, charge different prices, provide a different level or quality of goods or services, or suggest that you will receive a different price or quality, as a result of your exercise of applicable privacy rights. You may designate an authorized agent to submit requests on your behalf, subject to verification requirements consistent with applicable law.

If you disable optional Cookies, some elements of the Service may not function as intended, and certain personalized content may be unavailable. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Novacekite shall not be liable for any consequence arising from your decision to block, restrict, or delete Cookies, and your continued use of the Service following any such action constitutes your acceptance of any resulting limitations.

8. Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to manage Cookies through their settings menus. You can typically view the Cookies stored on your device, delete individual or all Cookies, block third-party Cookies, block Cookies from specific sites, and configure the browser to notify you when a Cookie is set. Instructions vary by browser and version, and we encourage you to consult the help documentation provided by your browser vendor for the most current guidance.

  • Google Chrome: Settings → Privacy and security → Third-party cookies and Site data.
  • Apple Safari: Preferences or Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data.
  • Mozilla Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data.
  • Microsoft Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies.

You may also use private or incognito browsing modes, which limit the persistence of certain Cookies after you close the browsing session, though these modes do not prevent all tracking and do not eliminate Essential Cookies required for the Service to function. Mobile devices and mobile browsers frequently provide additional controls, including the ability to limit advertising identifiers, restrict cross-app tracking, and reset your advertising identifier through your device's privacy settings.

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. There is currently no universally accepted standard for how websites should interpret that signal, and we do not respond to it as a standalone opt-out mechanism. We do, however, honor the Global Privacy Control and similar legally recognized opt-out preference signals as described in Section 7.

Please be aware that blocking or deleting Cookies may cause your Cookie preferences to be reset, may require you to re-enter information, and may render certain features of the Service unavailable. If you use multiple browsers or devices, you must configure your preferences separately for each one, as Cookie settings are browser- and device-specific.

9. Updates to Policy

We reserve the right to amend, modify, update, or replace this Cookie Policy at any time, in our sole discretion, to reflect changes in our practices, the technologies we use, the third parties we engage, or applicable law. The "Last Updated" date at the top of this page indicates when this policy was most recently revised. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to remain informed about how we use Cookies.

If we make material changes, we will provide notice through the Service or by other reasonable means, such as an email to the address associated with your account or a prominent notice on the Service, where required by applicable law. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any revision constitutes your acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy. If you do not agree with the revised policy, you must stop using the Service and disable optional Cookies through the mechanisms described above.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT, FUNCTIONALITY, AND COOKIES MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH IT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICE WILL BE ACCURATE OR RELIABLE.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, Novacekite, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, AND LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS COOKIE POLICY OR THE USE OF COOKIES, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS COOKIE POLICY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US$100) OR THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO Novacekite IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

If any provision of this Cookie Policy is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of this policy shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. This Cookie Policy, together with our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, constitutes the entire agreement between you and Novacekite regarding the use of Cookies on the Service.
