1. What Are Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer, smartphone, or other device when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work more efficiently, provide a better user experience, and give website owners valuable information about how their site is being used. This Cookies Policy explains what cookies we use on SetnBit, why we use them, and how you can control them.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use the following categories of cookies on our platform:

2.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the operation of our Service. They enable core functionality such as security, authentication, and network management. You cannot opt out of these cookies as the Service would not function properly without them. Examples include session cookies that keep you logged in and CSRF protection tokens.

2.2 Functional Cookies

These cookies allow our platform to remember choices you make (such as your preferred code editor theme, language settings, or recent projects) and provide enhanced, personalized features. They may also be used to remember changes you've made to customizable interface elements. Disabling these cookies may affect certain interactive features.

2.3 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies help us understand how visitors interact with our Service by collecting information anonymously. We use this data to analyze user behavior, identify popular features, track error rates, and continuously improve our AI assistant. We use first-party analytics tools and do not share this data with unauthorized third parties.

2.4 Targeting or Advertising Cookies

We do NOT use advertising cookies. SetnBit does not display third-party advertisements or track you across other websites for marketing purposes. Any cookies we use are strictly related to improving your development experience.

3. Specific Cookies We Use

The following table describes the specific cookies we use on SetnBit:

• st_session — Strictly necessary, expires when browser is closed. Stores your authenticated session ID.

• Customer support widget: Our support chat may use functional cookies to remember your conversation history.

We do not control these third-party cookies, and we recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies.
