NetProxy ("NetProxy," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience, analyze performance, and support the provision of our services ("Services"). This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how and why we use them, and how you can manage your cookie preferences. By continuing to use our Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this Cookie Policy. If you do not agree, please disable cookies as outlined below or discontinue using our Services.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) by websites you visit. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve the user experience, remember preferences, and provide information to the site owners. Other similar technologies (such as pixels, web beacons, and device fingerprinting) may also be used for similar purposes.

2. Types of Cookies We Use

We use both first-party and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are set by us and help enable core functionalities, whereas third-party cookies are set by service providers and partners to provide additional features.

a. Strictly Necessary Cookies:
These cookies are essential for the proper operation of our Services. They enable core features such as security measures, session management, and network traffic distribution. Without these cookies, the Services may not function properly.

• Examples: Cookies that store your session ID, authentication tokens, or load balancing identifiers.

b. Functional Cookies:
These cookies allow the Services to remember choices you make (such as language preference or region) and provide enhanced, more personalized features. Disabling these cookies may result in a less personalized experience.

• Examples: Cookies that remember your language settings or interface customization.

c. Performance and Analytics Cookies:
We use these cookies to understand how users interact with the Services. They help us track and measure performance, detect and fix errors, and improve the overall user experience. The information collected by these cookies is typically aggregated and does not directly identify you as an individual.

• Examples: Cookies from analytics services that measure page load times, usage patterns, and error rates.

d. Targeting and Advertising Cookies:
We may use these cookies to deliver relevant advertisements about our Services or to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. These cookies track browsing habits and activity across our Services and may combine this information with data collected on other websites or apps. Disabling these cookies will not reduce the number of ads you see, but may make them less relevant to you.

• Examples: Cookies from advertising networks that display ads based on your interests.

3. Third-Party Cookies and Services

Our Services may include features provided by third parties, such as analytics tools, content delivery networks (CDNs), payment processors, or embedded content from external platforms. These third parties may set their own cookies to track usage, improve their services, or serve content. We do not control these cookies, and their use is governed by the third party’s own privacy and cookie policies.

4. How We Use Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and related technologies to:

• Ensure the security, stability, and proper functioning of our Services.

• Remember your preferences and enhance your user experience.

• Analyze traffic patterns, usage, and performance to improve efficiency and reliability.

• Deliver and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and marketing campaigns.

• Comply with legal and regulatory obligations.

5. Cookie Duration

Cookies can be session-based or persistent:

• Session Cookies: These cookies exist only for the duration of your browsing session and expire when you close your browser or log out of your account.

• Persistent Cookies: These remain on your device after you have closed your browser or ended your session. They are used to remember your preferences and identify you during subsequent visits.

The retention period for persistent cookies varies depending on their function and the third party that sets them. We regularly review and update our use of cookies and their expiration periods.

6. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have several options to manage and control how cookies are used on your device:

• Browser Settings: Most web browsers allow you to block, disable, or delete cookies. Instructions for managing cookie settings can be found in your browser’s help documentation.

• Do Not Track (DNT): Some browsers include a DNT setting. While we strive to respect your privacy, we do not currently respond to DNT signals because no industry standard has been established.

• Third-Party Opt-Out Tools: You may opt out of targeted advertising cookies by using industry-supported opt-out tools provided by organizations like the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) or the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), where applicable.

• Consent Management: If available, you can use our on-site cookie consent banner or preference center to manage which categories of cookies you wish to accept or reject.

Please note that disabling certain types of cookies may impact the functionality or usability of some parts of our Services.

7. Legal Bases for Using Cookies

In jurisdictions that require user consent for non-essential cookies (e.g., under the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation), we rely on your consent for placing such cookies. You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie settings as described above. Strictly necessary cookies are used based on our legitimate interest in delivering and securing the Services.

8. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our business operations. When we update the policy, we will revise the "Last Updated" date above. Your continued use of the Services after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated Cookie Policy.
