1. What Are Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. Together with similar technologies (local storage, session storage, pixel tags) they enable basic functionality, remember your preferences, and provide aggregated usage information. Some are set by Skybyte (first-party); others may be set by service providers we use (third-party).
2. How We Use Cookies
Skybyte uses the minimum number of cookies needed to operate the Service securely. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Non-essential cookies are only set after you give consent through our cookie banner.
3. Categories of Cookies
- Essential — required for the Service to work (authentication, session management, CSRF protection, storing your consent choices). These cannot be disabled.
- Functional — remember preferences such as display currency and language. Off by default; require consent.
- Analytics — help us understand how the Service is used so that we can improve it. We use only first-party, privacy-preserving analytics (no cross-site tracking). Off by default; require consent.
- Marketing — currently none. Skybyte does not run third-party advertising trackers. The consent control exists for forward compatibility.

When this policy changes materially, we ask you to renew your consent before non-essential cookies are set under the new version. The “Last updated” date reflects the current version.
