Cookie Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

This Cookie Policy explains how Psilomelane ("we," "us," or "our") uses cookies, pixel tags, web beacons, local storage objects, software development kits, and other similar tracking technologies (collectively, "Cookies") on psilomelane.xyz and on any related websites, applications, dashboards, and services operated under the psilomelane.xyz brand (collectively, the "Service"). It describes what Cookies are, the categories of Cookies we deploy, the purposes for which they are used, the third parties that may set Cookies through the Service, and the choices available to you to control or disable them.

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which describes in greater detail how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process personal information, and our Terms and Conditions, which govern your use of the Service. In the event of any conflict between this Cookie Policy and the Privacy Policy regarding the processing of personal information, the Privacy Policy will control.

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 the use of Cookies as described here, you should adjust your browser or device settings as described in Sections 7 and 8 below, or refrain from using the Service.

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, tablet, or other internet-enabled device when you visit a website or use an online service. A Cookie typically contains the name of the Psilomelane that set it, the lifetime of the Cookie, and a randomly generated identifier or value. When you return to a website, the website can read the Cookie it previously placed, allowing it to recognize your browser, remember your preferences, and deliver a more consistent and functional experience.

Cookies are not programs and cannot execute code, install software, or access files on your device. They do not, by themselves, identify you by name. However, because Cookies can be linked to device identifiers, account credentials, or other information that is associated with an identifiable individual, certain Cookies may constitute "personal information" or "personal data" under applicable law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act ("CCPA/CPRA"), and other applicable U.S. state privacy laws.

In addition to traditional Cookies, we and our service providers may use other tracking technologies that function similarly, including pixel tags (also known as clear GIFs or web beacons) used to measure engagement with emails and pages, HTML5 local storage and session storage used to retain configuration data, mobile advertising identifiers, and server-side logging technologies. References to "Cookies" in this policy include these comparable technologies.

We use Cookies for a variety of operational, analytical, and commercial purposes, as further described in Sections 3 through 5 below. The specific Cookies in use at any given time may change as we update the Service, adopt new technologies, or engage new service providers, and this policy is intended to describe the categories of Cookies we use rather than an exhaustive, static list of every individual Cookie.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We categorize Cookies along three dimensions: duration (session versus persistent), source (first-party versus third-party), and purpose (essential, analytics, and marketing). Understanding these distinctions helps you evaluate the choices described in Sections 7 and 8.

2.1 Session Cookies

Session Cookies are temporary and exist only for the duration of your browsing session. They are typically deleted automatically when you close your browser or log out of the Service. We use session Cookies to maintain your authenticated session, preserve form data as you move between pages, and support load balancing and security controls.

2.2 Persistent Cookies

Persistent Cookies remain on your device for a predetermined period, which may range from a few hours to several years, or until you manually delete them. They allow the Service to remember your preferences, recognize your device on return visits, and measure aggregate usage trends over time. Persistent Cookies are subject to the expiration periods established by us or by the applicable third party that sets them.

2.3 First-Party and Third-Party Cookies

First-party Cookies are set by psilomelane.xyz and are generally used for functionality, security, and analytics. Third-party Cookies are set by Psilomelanes other than ours — for example, by analytics providers, advertising networks, or embedded service providers — and may be used to recognize your device across multiple websites and services. Third-party Cookies are described further in Section 6.

3. Essential Cookies

Essential Cookies (also referred to as "strictly necessary" Cookies) are required for the Service to operate and to deliver core functionality that you have expressly requested. Without these Cookies, features such as account authentication, session management, security verification, and preference retention cannot function, and portions of the Service may be unavailable or may not perform as intended.

Typical examples of Essential Cookies include those that: authenticate you and maintain your logged-in session; remember the contents of your shopping cart, configuration, or workflow state; enforce security protections such as cross-site request forgery prevention, bot mitigation, and fraud detection; distribute traffic across servers to maintain performance and availability; and record your Cookie preferences so that we do not repeatedly present the same choices.

Essential Cookies do not generally require separate opt-in consent under United States law, including the CCPA/CPRA and other applicable state privacy statutes, because they are necessary to provide the Service you have requested and are used for purposes that are not considered a "sale" or "share" of personal information. Accordingly, Essential Cookies remain active while you use the Service, and disabling them through browser settings may materially impair or prevent your use of the Service.

To the extent any information associated with Essential Cookies constitutes personal information, we process it in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law, and we do not use Essential Cookies to build advertising profiles or to sell or share your personal information to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising.

4. Analytics Cookies

Analytics Cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Service so that we can measure performance, diagnose technical issues, prioritize product improvements, and enhance the overall user experience. These Cookies collect information such as pages viewed, time spent on pages, referral sources, general geographic region, device type, browser type, and aggregated interaction patterns such as click and scroll behavior.

We use analytics providers, which may include third-party service providers engaged by Psilomelane, to process this information on our behalf. Where available, we configure these providers to support privacy-preserving settings, such as IP address anonymization or truncation, data retention limits, and restrictions on data sharing. Analytics data is generally reported to us in aggregated or de-identified form, but certain identifiers associated with analytics Cookies may be considered personal information under applicable U.S. state privacy laws.

You may disable Analytics Cookies through your Cookie preferences or browser settings as described in Sections 7 and 8. If you opt out of Analytics Cookies, we will not collect analytics data from your device, but we may continue to collect Essential Cookies data necessary for security and service integrity. Please note that opting out of Analytics Cookies does not automatically constitute an opt-out of the "sale" or "share" of personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA; to exercise that right, please follow the instructions in Section 7.3.

Psilomelane does not use Analytics Cookies to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you, and we do not use such data to discriminate against you in the provision of the Service.

5. Marketing Cookies

Marketing Cookies (also referred to as advertising or targeting Cookies) are used to deliver advertising and promotional content that is more relevant to your interests, to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns, to limit the frequency with which you see the same advertisement, and to attribute conversions, sign-ups, or other actions to particular marketing channels. These Cookies may be set by us or by third-party advertising networks, ad exchanges, and measurement partners.

Marketing Cookies may enable the delivery of interest-based advertising across different websites, applications, and devices. Where a third party uses information collected through Marketing Cookies to serve advertising to you on other sites or services, that activity may be treated as a "sale" or "share" of personal information (including for cross-context behavioral advertising) under the CCPA/CPRA and comparable provisions of other U.S. state privacy laws.

You have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. You may exercise this right at any time by using the Cookie preference controls available in the Service, by writing to [email protected], or by submitting a request through the contact information in Section 10. We also honor opt-out preference signals, including the Global Privacy Control ("GPC"), as described in Section 7.4. Where required by applicable law, your authorized agent may submit an opt-out request on your behalf.

Opting out of Marketing Cookies does not mean you will stop seeing advertisements; it means that the advertisements you see will be less tailored to your interests and may be based on non-personalized criteria such as the content of the page you are viewing. We do not sell or share the personal information of consumers we know to be under 16 years of age without affirmative authorization, as required by applicable law.

6. Third-Party Cookies

Certain Cookies on the Service are placed by third parties that provide functionality, analytics, advertising, security, or infrastructure services to us. These third parties may include cloud hosting and content delivery providers, customer support platforms, payment processors, authentication providers, analytics vendors, and advertising and measurement partners. Third-party Cookies may remain on your device after you leave the Service and may be readable by those third parties when you visit other websites.

We do not control the privacy practices of third parties, including the specific Cookies they set, the duration of those Cookies, or how they subsequently use the information they collect. Each third party is responsible for its own data practices and provides its own privacy notice and Cookie disclosure. We encourage you to review the privacy policies and Cookie notices of those third parties before interacting with their services. Links to third-party sites or disclosures are provided for convenience and do not constitute an endorsement by Psilomelane.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Psilomelane disclaims all liability, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, arising out of or relating to the data collection, use, disclosure, retention, or security practices of any third party, including any third party that sets Cookies through the Service. Our liability, if any, with respect to the Service and any information collected through Cookies will be subject in all respects to the limitations and exclusions of liability set forth in our Terms and Conditions, which are incorporated into this Cookie Policy by this reference.

Where a third-party service operates in a manner that we determine constitutes a sale or sharing of personal information, we will treat that activity in accordance with the CCPA/CPRA and applicable state privacy laws and will provide you with the opt-out mechanisms described in Section 7. You may also configure your browser settings to block third-party Cookies entirely, although this may impair certain features of the Service.

7. How to Control Cookies

You can control or limit the use of Cookies through several mechanisms. The options available to you depend on your jurisdiction, the browser and device you use, and the categories of Cookies you wish to restrict. We provide the tools described below in addition to any statutory rights you may have under applicable law.

7.1 Cookie Preference Controls

Where required or made available, we present a Cookie preference mechanism that allows you to accept or decline non-essential Cookie categories. You may change your preferences at any time by returning to the preference controls and adjusting your selections, or by deleting Cookies already stored on your device through your browser settings. Your preferences will be recorded in an Essential Cookie so that we can honor them on subsequent visits.

7.2 Browser and Device Controls

Most browsers allow you to view, manage, delete, and block Cookies, and many offer "private browsing," "do not track," or tracking-prevention features. Please refer to Section 8 for information about common browser settings. Blocking all Cookies may prevent you from using interactive features of the Service and may cause certain functionality to fail.

7.3 Right to Opt Out of Sale or Sharing

California residents and residents of other states granting comparable rights may have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information. If the setting of certain Marketing or Analytics Cookies constitutes a sale or share under applicable law, you may opt out by using the Cookie preference controls, by contacting us at [email protected], or by calling +13035550108. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights, although certain functionality that depends on the relevant Cookies may be affected.

7.4 Global Privacy Control and Opt-Out Preference Signals

We honor opt-out preference signals, including the Global Privacy Control, where transmitted by a browser or extension that supports the signal and where required by applicable law. When we detect such a signal, we will treat it as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and, where applicable, as a request to limit the use of sensitive personal information. We do not currently respond to legacy "Do Not Track" browser signals, as no common industry standard for those signals exists; however, we will update this policy if our practices change.

7.5 Consequences of Disabling Cookies

If you disable or delete Essential Cookies, you may be unable to log in, maintain a session, complete a transaction, or access certain features of the Service. If you disable Analytics or Marketing Cookies, we may be unable to remember your preferences, personalize your experience, or measure the effectiveness of our communications. Disabling Cookies does not delete information that was previously collected and lawfully retained; such information remains subject to our Privacy Policy.

8. Browser Settings

When you enable this setting, your browser will send a "Do Not Track" signal to the websites you visit. However, not all browsers support this feature, and websites are not required to honor it. Psilomelane currently does not respond to Do Not Track signals or similar mechanisms. Psilomelane is not responsible for the privacy practices of any third-party websites linked to or from the Service. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of those third parties before providing them with any personal information.

Cookies can be controlled and managed through your web browser settings. The following browser-specific instructions are provided for your convenience; these instructions are maintained by third parties and may change without notice:

• Google Chrome: Settings > Privacy and security > Third-party cookies, and Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > Cookies and site data.
• Mozilla Firefox: Settings > Privacy & Security > Cookies and Site Data.
• Apple Safari (macOS): Safari > Settings > Privacy > Manage Website Data.
• Apple Safari (iOS): Settings > Safari > Privacy & Security > Block All Cookies or Prevent Cross-Site Tracking.
• Microsoft Edge: Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data.
• Google Android (Chrome): Chrome menu > Settings > Site settings > Cookies.

You may also manage interest-based advertising preferences through industry opt-out tools, including the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) WebChoices tool and the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) opt-out tool, and you may reset or limit your mobile advertising identifier through your device's operating system settings (for example, "Tracking" on iOS or "Ads" on Android). In addition, you may be able to adjust settings within your Google Account, such as Personalized Ads, if you have a Google account associated with your device.

Please note that browser and device settings are specific to each browser and each device. If you use multiple browsers or multiple devices, you will need to configure your preferences separately on each one. Clearing your browser cache or Cookies may also reset preferences that we have stored in Essential Cookies, and you may need to re-enter your selections.

9. Updates to Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Cookies we use, changes in applicable law or regulatory guidance, changes in our service providers, or changes in our business practices. When we make changes, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and may, where required by applicable law or where the changes are material, provide additional notice, such as a prominent notice on the Service or an email to the address associated with your account.

Your continued use of the Service after any updated Cookie Policy becomes effective constitutes your acknowledgment of the updated policy and your agreement to be bound by it. We encourage you to review this page periodically so that you remain informed about the Cookies we use and the choices available to you. If you do not agree with an updated Cookie Policy, you should adjust your Cookie preferences or discontinue use of the Service.

The provisions of this Cookie Policy regarding disclaimers, limitations of liability, and governing law, together with any other provisions that by their nature should survive termination or modification, will survive any update, replacement, or termination of this Cookie Policy. This Cookie Policy is governed by the laws of the applicable U.S. state in which Psilomelane is organized or conducts business, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, and is subject to the dispute resolution and liability provisions set forth in our Terms and Conditions and Terms of Service. If any provision of this Cookie Policy is held to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. No failure or delay by Psilomelane in exercising any right under this Cookie Policy will operate as a waiver of that right.
