Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how PaxLabs Inc ("PaxLabs", "we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies on paxlabs.inc and affiliated sub-domains. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.

1. What cookies are

A cookie is a small text file placed on your device by a website you visit. Cookies are widely used to make websites work, to make them work more efficiently, and to provide information to site owners. Similar technologies — including local storage, session storage, pixels, and fingerprinting techniques — are treated as equivalents for the purposes of this policy.

2. Why we use them

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Keep the site functioning correctly (session state, language preference);
• Protect against abuse and fraud (rate-limiting, CSRF tokens);
• Understand, in aggregate, how the site is used so we can improve it;
• Remember your consent and preference selections themselves.

3. Categories we use

3.1 Strictly necessary

These cookies are required for the site to function and cannot be switched off. They are typically set in response to actions you take — setting your privacy preferences, signing in, or filling in a form. You can set your browser to block them, but parts of the site may stop working.

3.2 Preferences

These cookies remember your language, locale, and similar settings. They store no personally identifying information beyond those preferences.

3.3 Analytics

These cookies help us understand, in aggregate, which pages are read, which research posts are shared, and how visitors move through the site. We use a privacy-respecting analytics provider configured not to share identifiers across sites.

3.4 Marketing

We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. We do not run remarketing pixels. We do not embed tracking for ad networks. This category is listed here only so you know — when you see it absent, it is absent by design, not by omission.

4. Third-party cookies

Certain embedded resources — such as a video, a map, or a social-media widget — may be served from a third-party provider and may set their own cookies. Where such third parties are used, we identify them in the inventory below. We do not control the privacy practices of third parties and recommend you review their policies.

5. Full cookie inventory

Current inventory, updated when it changes. We list every cookie we set ourselves, and every third-party cookie we knowingly permit.

— Inventory updated automatically with each site release. Suggest an omission at privacy@paxlabs.inc.

6. Do Not Track signals

We honour Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals where your browser sends one. When a GPC signal is detected, we treat your visit as opting out of any non-essential analytics cookies for the duration of that session.

Historical Do Not Track ("DNT") headers are not universally defined and are no longer widely supported, so we do not rely on them. GPC is the current, well-defined standard.

7. Your choices

• Consent banner. On your first visit from a jurisdiction that requires it, we present a consent banner. You can accept, reject non-essential cookies, or configure by category. You can change your selection at any time via the "Cookie preferences" link in the footer.
• Browser controls. Every major browser lets you view, block, or delete cookies. Links: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge.
• Analytics opt-out. Our analytics provider is configured to respect GPC and does not set cross-site identifiers. No additional opt-out is required.

8. Consequences of blocking

Blocking strictly necessary cookies will break parts of the site — including form submissions, language switching, and consent recording itself. Blocking analytics cookies does not affect site functionality.

9. Changes to this policy

We update this policy when our cookie inventory changes or when applicable law requires it. The "Effective" date at the top of this page reflects the current version.
