Cookie Policy

Last Updated: September 2026

This Cookie Policy (“Policy”) explains how Plagionite (“we,” “us,” or “our”) uses cookies and similar tracking technologies on the plagionite.xyz website located at https://plagionite.xyz (the “Site”) and through any related online services, applications, dashboards, or platforms (collectively, the “Services”). This Policy is incorporated by reference into our Terms of Service, our Terms and Conditions, and our Privacy Policy. By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Site or Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Policy. If you do not agree with our use of cookies as described herein, you should adjust your browser settings or discontinue use of the Site and Services.

Plagionite is a United States limited liability company or corporation, and this Policy is designed to comply with the United States opt-out model for cookies and similar technologies. Specifically, we comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CCPA/CPRA), and other applicable US state privacy laws. Because we operate under the US opt-out model, we do not display an EU-style prior consent cookie banner. Instead, we provide clear information about our cookie practices and offer you meaningful choices to opt out of non-essential cookies, including the CCPA opt-out of sale/share where applicable.

The information in this Policy supplements the information contained in our Privacy Policy and does not limit the rights or obligations described there. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms have the meanings assigned to them in the Terms of Service or Privacy Policy. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to update, amend, or modify this Policy at any time to reflect changes in technology, law, our data practices, or the Services. Your continued use of the Site or Services following the posting of any changes constitutes your acceptance of such changes.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, Plagionite DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THE OPERATION, PERFORMANCE, OR RELIABILITY OF COOKIES OR SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES USED ON THE SITE OR SERVICES. IN NO EVENT SHALL Plagionite BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS POLICY, YOUR USE OF COOKIE CONTROLS, OR ANY THIRD-PARTY COOKIE PRACTICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS POLICY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$100).

1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that a website or online service places on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device (“Device”) when you visit or interact with the Site or Services. These files typically contain a string of characters that serve as a unique identifier, allowing the Site to recognize your Device, store your preferences, authenticate users, maintain session state, and gather information about how you interact with the Site. Cookies are widely used to make websites and online services work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information to website owners.

In addition to traditional browser cookies, we and our service providers may use other similar technologies, including web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), embedded scripts, local shared objects (such as HTML5 local storage and session storage), device fingerprinting, software development kits (SDKs), and mobile advertising identifiers. For purposes of this Policy, the term “cookies” includes all such technologies, whether or not they strictly meet the technical definition of a cookie. These technologies may be used alone or in combination to collect, store, and transmit information about your use of the Site and Services.

Cookies may be classified by their origin. First-party cookies are set directly by the Site or by Plagionite on the Site’s behalf. Third-party cookies are set by Plagionites other than the one you are visiting, such as analytics providers, advertising networks, social media platforms, or payment processors. Cookies may also be classified by duration: session cookies are temporary and are deleted when you close your browser, while persistent cookies remain on your Device until they expire or until you delete them manually. The specific cookies used may vary depending on the features you access, whether you are logged in, and your account type or subscription tier.

Cookies do not typically run programs, deliver viruses to your Device, or provide us with access to your local files. However, cookies can store or generate identifiers that, when combined with other data, may be considered personal information or unique identifiers under applicable US state privacy laws. We treat such identifiers in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable law. By using the Site, you consent to our placement and use of cookies and similar technologies as described in this Policy, subject to your right to opt out of non-essential cookies as described below.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use cookies and similar technologies for a variety of business and operational purposes. The cookies we use generally fall into the categories described in this Policy: Essential Cookies, Analytics Cookies, and Marketing Cookies. We may also use cookies that support functional or preference-based features, such as remembering language settings, display preferences, or recently viewed content. Where a functional cookie is necessary for the operation of the Site, we treat it as an Essential Cookie. Where it is used to improve or personalize your experience but is not strictly necessary, we treat it as an Analytics or Marketing Cookie depending on its purpose.

2.1 Classification by Purpose

Essential Cookies are required for the Site and Services to operate securely and efficiently. Analytics Cookies help us understand how visitors interact with the Site so that we can measure and improve performance. Marketing Cookies are used to deliver relevant advertisements, measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns, and enable social media features. We may use additional cookies for fraud prevention, network security, load balancing, and compliance with legal obligations. The purpose of each cookie determines the legal basis and opt-out rights that apply.

2.2 Classification by Duration

Session cookies are temporary and expire when you close your browser or log out of the Services. Persistent cookies remain on your Device for a predetermined period, which may range from a few minutes to several years, depending on the cookie’s function. Essential session cookies enable secure login and transaction processing, while persistent cookies may remember your preferences or maintain opt-out settings. Retention periods for persistent cookies are set to the minimum duration necessary to fulfill their purpose, after which they are deleted or refreshed.

The exact list of cookies used may change over time as we update the Site, add new features, or engage new service providers. Not all users will see all cookies, and the cookies placed on your Device may depend on your location, account status, browser configuration, and interactions with the Site. For more detailed information about specific cookies, including their names, providers, and purposes, please contact us using the information provided at the end of this Policy.

3. Essential Cookies

Essential Cookies, also known as strictly necessary cookies, are required for the Site and Services to function properly and securely. These cookies enable core features such as user authentication, session management, access control, network management, load balancing, fraud prevention, and compliance with security protocols. Without these cookies, certain parts of the Site may not operate correctly, and some Services may be unavailable altogether. Because Essential Cookies are necessary to provide the Services you have requested, they cannot be disabled through our cookie controls without materially impairing your use of the Site.

Examples of Essential Cookies we may use include authentication tokens that keep you logged in as you navigate the Site, session identifiers that maintain your shopping cart or form data, cookies that remember your privacy or security preferences, and cookies used to detect and prevent malicious activity or abuse of the Services. We may also use Essential Cookies to enforce rate limits, validate requests, and protect against cross-site request forgery and other security threats. These cookies may be set by Plagionite or by trusted infrastructure providers acting on our behalf.

Under the CCPA/CPRA and other applicable US state privacy laws, Essential Cookies are used for business purposes that are necessary to provide the Services and to maintain the security and integrity of our systems. They do not involve the sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. Accordingly, the CCPA opt-out of sale/share does not apply to Essential Cookies, and you cannot opt out of their use except by adjusting your browser settings, which may prevent the Site or Services from functioning properly.

If you choose to block or delete Essential Cookies through your browser settings, we cannot guarantee that the Site or Services will operate as intended, and you may experience errors, loss of data, inability to log in, or complete inability to access certain features. Plagionite shall not be liable for any such disruption, loss of functionality, or damage arising from your decision to disable Essential Cookies. Your use of the Site with Essential Cookies disabled is at your own risk.

4. Analytics Cookies

Analytics Cookies help us understand how visitors engage with the Site and Services, which features are most useful, and where improvements may be needed. These cookies collect information about your browsing behavior, such as the pages you visit, the links you click, the time spent on each page, the referring website, and general geographic location. The data collected through Analytics Cookies is generally aggregated or pseudonymized, meaning it is processed in a form that does not directly identify you unless combined with other information.

We may use third-party analytics providers, such as Google Analytics or other similar service providers, to assist us in analyzing usage of the Site. These providers may set their own cookies on your Device and collect information subject to their own privacy policies. The information collected may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and interactions with the Site. We use this information to generate statistical reports, monitor Site performance, identify technical issues, test new features, and improve the overall user experience.

Our use of Analytics Cookies is based on our legitimate business interests in understanding and improving the Site and Services, consistent with the CCPA/CPRA and other applicable US state privacy laws. In most cases, Analytics Cookies do not involve the sale or sharing of personal information. However, to the extent that any third-party analytics cookie or similar technology is deemed to constitute a sale or sharing of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA, California residents may exercise their right to opt out of such sale or sharing as described in this Policy and our Privacy Policy.

You may opt out of Analytics Cookies by adjusting your browser settings, using the opt-out mechanisms provided by our analytics partners, or contacting us as described below. Disabling Analytics Cookies will not prevent you from using the Site or Services, but it may limit our ability to understand how users interact with the Site and to make improvements based on that data. Plagionite is not responsible for the effectiveness of third-party opt-out tools or for any consequences resulting from your decision to disable Analytics Cookies.

5. Marketing Cookies

Marketing Cookies, also referred to as targeting or advertising cookies, are used to deliver advertisements that are more relevant to your interests, both on and off the Site. These cookies may be placed by Plagionite or by third-party advertising networks, social media platforms, and demand-side platforms. They track your browsing activity across different websites and online services over time, build profiles of your interests, and enable features such as retargeting, frequency capping, ad measurement, attribution, and audience segmentation. Marketing Cookies may also be used to limit the number of times you see a particular advertisement and to measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

When you interact with the Site, Marketing Cookies may collect information about your Device, browser, IP address, pages visited, links clicked, and interactions with advertisements. This information may be combined with data collected from other sources to infer your preferences and deliver personalized advertising. We may also use social media pixels and similar technologies to track conversions, create custom audiences, and measure the performance of our social media marketing activities. These technologies may allow social media platforms to recognize you across different websites and services.

Under the CCPA/CPRA, the disclosure of personal information, including identifiers collected through Marketing Cookies, to third-party advertisers or advertising networks for cross-context behavioral advertising may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. California residents have the right to opt out of such sale or sharing by contacting us at [email protected] with the subject line “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information.” We will process your request in accordance with applicable law and will not discriminate against you for exercising this right. Additional information about California privacy rights is available in our Privacy Policy.

Opting out of Marketing Cookies will not eliminate advertising entirely; rather, the advertisements you see may be less relevant to your interests. Because Marketing Cookies are not essential to the operation of the Site, you may disable them through your browser settings or through the opt-out tools offered by participating advertising networks. Plagionite is not responsible for the data practices of third-party advertisers, advertising networks, or social media platforms, and we expressly disclaim any liability arising from their collection, use, or disclosure of information obtained through Marketing Cookies.

6. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to cookies set by Plagionite, certain third parties may set cookies on your Device when you visit the Site or use the Services. These third parties may include analytics providers, advertising networks, social media platforms, payment processors, customer support tools, content delivery networks, video hosting providers, and providers of embedded content or widgets. Third-Party Cookies are governed by the privacy policies and cookie practices of the third parties that set them, not by this Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with through the Site.

Third-Party Cookies may be used for purposes such as authenticating users through single sign-on providers, processing payments, enabling live chat or support functionality, serving advertisements, measuring ad performance, providing social sharing features, hosting embedded videos or maps, and analyzing Site traffic. Some third-party services may continue to track your online activities across multiple websites over time, even after you leave the Site. We do not control the placement, duration, or data practices of these Third-Party Cookies, and we are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, or legality of any third-party privacy practices.

Where Third-Party Cookies involve the collection, sale, or sharing of personal information under the CCPA/CPRA or other applicable US state privacy laws, your opt-out rights are described in this Policy and our Privacy Policy. We may receive aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified reports from third-party providers, which we use for business purposes such as analytics, marketing, and product improvement. We do not sell personal information to third parties for monetary consideration, except to the extent that certain uses of cookies or similar technologies may be deemed a “sale” or “sharing” under applicable law.

The inclusion of any third-party link, embed, widget, or integration on the Site does not imply endorsement by Plagionite. Your interactions with third-party features are governed by the third party’s terms and policies. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Plagionite disclaims all liability for any claims, damages, losses, or liabilities arising out of or relating to Third-Party Cookies, third-party tracking technologies, or the data practices of any third party. If you have questions about a specific third-party cookie, you should contact the third party directly.
