This Cookie Policy explains how CodenVibe IT LLC ("we", "us", or "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on the PatchPings website at patchpings.com (the "Website"). It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy. By using our Website, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this policy. You can manage or withdraw your consent at any time using the methods described below.
01What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, tablet, or phone) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites work, to improve their performance, and to provide information to the website owners.
Cookies set by the website you are visiting are called "first-party cookies." Cookies set by parties other than the website owner are called "third-party cookies." Third-party cookies enable third-party features or functionality, such as analytics.
We also use similar technologies such as local storage, which stores data in your browser to remember your preferences (for example, your theme setting).
02Why we use cookies
We use cookies for the following purposes:
- Essential cookies — necessary for the Website to function properly. These cannot be switched off in our systems.
- Preference cookies — remember your choices, such as your theme preference (dark, light, or system), so you do not have to set them on every visit.
- Analytics cookies — help us understand how visitors interact with our Website by collecting and reporting information anonymously. This helps us improve the Website.
- We do not use cookies for advertising, and we do not sell any information collected through cookies.
