We use a minimal set of cookies and similar technologies to run the website, measure performance, and keep things secure. This policy explains what's set, why, and how you can switch any of it off.
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device by the websites you visit. They store short strings of information that allow a site to recognize your browser, remember preferences, and measure usage. “Similar technologies” include local storage, pixel tags, and fingerprinting techniques; we only use cookies and localStorage.
Which cookies we set
We use three narrow categories of cookies:
| Cookie | Purpose | Category | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| __cf_bm | Bot mitigation / security (Cloudflare) | Strictly necessary | 30 min |
| cf_clearance | Passes a security challenge | Strictly necessary | Up to 30 days |
| siq-consent | Remembers your cookie preferences | Strictly necessary | 12 months |
| siq-analytics-* | Aggregate page views (privacy-preserving) | Analytics (optional) | 13 months |
We do not use advertising, retargeting, or cross-site tracking cookies. We do not share cookie data with third-party advertisers.
Consent and preferences
Strictly necessary cookies are set without consent because they are essential to operating the site. Analytics cookies are optional and are only set after you accept them. You can change your choice at any time by clearing the siq-consent cookie or emailing Info@shadow-iq.com.
Controlling cookies in your browser
Most browsers let you view, delete, or block cookies through their settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent parts of the site from working. Consult your browser's help pages (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge) for detailed instructions.
Changes
When we add, remove, or change cookies we update this page with the new “last updated” date. For material changes, we will notify you through a banner or email.
