Cookie Policy

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small data files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are widely used by website owners in order to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information.

Cookies set by the website owner (in this case, Squotex) 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 to be provided on or through the website (e.g., interactive content, payment processing, and analytics).

2. Why Do We Use Cookies?

We use first- and third-party cookies for several reasons. Some cookies are required for technical reasons in order for our Service to operate, while others enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our Service.

• Strictly Necessary Cookies: These cookies are strictly necessary to provide you with services available through our website and to use some of its features, such as access to secure areas (e.g., the dashboard login). Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the Service, you cannot refuse them without impacting how our site functions.
• Performance and Analytics Cookies: These cookies collect information that is used either in aggregate form to help us understand how our Service is being used or how effective our marketing campaigns are, or to help us customize our Service for you.
• Functionality Cookies: These cookies are used to enhance the performance and functionality of our Service but are non-essential to their use. However, without these cookies, certain functionality may become unavailable.

3. Third-Party Cookies (e.g., Stripe)

In some special cases, we also use cookies provided by trusted third parties. For example, we use Stripe for payment processing. Stripe sets cookies that are essential for the security and completion of financial transactions on our platform. For more information on Stripe cookies, see the official Stripe Privacy Policy.

4. How Can I Control Cookies?

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website may be restricted.

As the means by which you can refuse cookies through your web browser controls vary from browser to browser, you should visit your browser's help menu for more information. Here are links to manage cookies on major browsers:

• Google Chrome
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari
• Microsoft Edge

5. Do Not Track (DNT) / CalOPPA

Under the California Online Privacy Protection Act (CalOPPA), we disclose how we respond to Do Not Track signals. Currently, various browsers offer a "Do Not Track" option, but there is no recognized industry standard for recognizing and responding to these signals. Therefore, we do not alter our data collection and use practices when we see a Do Not Track signal from your browser.

6. Updates to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect, for example, changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please therefore revisit this Cookie Policy regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
