Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how x_O and certain third-party services may use cookies and similar technologies when you visit or interact with our website.

We use these technologies to support website functionality, improve performance, maintain security, understand website usage, and provide certain integrated services.

The cookies and technologies used may vary depending on the features enabled and the configuration of the platform.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that websites may store on your browser or device when you visit a website.

They can help websites remember information about your visit, maintain sessions, recognize preferences, and support certain features.

Cookies may be:

Session cookies

These are generally stored temporarily and may be deleted when you close your browser.

Persistent cookies

These remain on your device for a specified period or until you delete them.

First-party cookies

These are set by the website you are visiting.

Third-party cookies

These are set by services or providers other than the website itself.

2. Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, websites and integrated services may use other technologies, such as:

• Local storage.
• Session storage.
• Tracking pixels.
• Web beacons.
• Browser identifiers.
• Similar technologies used for analytics, security, or functionality.

For convenience, this policy may refer to these technologies collectively as cookies and similar technologies.

3. Why We Use Cookies

Depending on the platform configuration, cookies and similar technologies may be used for the following purposes.

3.1 Essential Cookies

These technologies may be necessary to operate the website and provide requested features.

They may support:

• User authentication.
• Account sessions.
• Security and access control.
• Form submissions.
• Basic website functionality.
• Protection against abuse or unauthorized activity.

Disabling essential cookies may prevent some parts of x_O from working correctly.

3.2 Preference Cookies

These may remember choices or settings to improve your experience.

Examples include:

• Language preferences.
• Display preferences.
• Interface settings.
• Other user-selected options.

3.3 Analytics Cookies

If analytics services are enabled, cookies or similar technologies may help us understand how visitors use x_O.

This may include information such as:

• Pages visited.
• General navigation patterns.
• Time spent on pages.
• Browser and device information.
• Referring websites.
• General interaction and performance information.

This information may help us identify technical problems and improve the platform.

3.4 Advertising Cookies

If advertising services are enabled, cookies or similar technologies may be used to support:

• Advertisement delivery.
• Advertising measurement.
• Frequency management.
• Fraud prevention.
• Relevant advertising, where supported and permitted.

Third-party advertising providers may use their own technologies under their respective policies and settings.

3.5 Security and Performance Technologies

Certain services may use cookies or other identifiers to support:

• Traffic management.
• Security checks.
• Abuse prevention.
• Bot detection.
• Website performance.
• Infrastructure protection.

These technologies may be provided by x_O or third-party infrastructure providers.

4. Third-Party Services

x_O may integrate services from third-party providers.

Depending on which services are enabled and how they are configured, these may include:

4.1 Google Services

Google services may be used for features such as:

Google Sign-In

Used to provide account authentication when members choose to sign in through Google.

Google Analytics

May be used to understand website usage, traffic patterns, and performance.

Google AdSense

May be used to display advertisements and support advertising-related measurement.

Google SMTP and Email Services

May be used to send account-related or other platform emails.

The use of an email delivery service does not automatically mean that it places cookies in a visitor’s browser. Any browser-related technologies depend on the particular implementation.

Other Google services may also be integrated into the platform where necessary.

Google’s handling of information is subject to its own terms and privacy policies.

4.2 Cloudflare Services

Cloudflare services may be used to support website infrastructure, including:

• DNS and traffic management.
• Content delivery and performance.
• Security and protection.
• Bot and abuse prevention.
• Cloudflare R2 storage, where integrated.

Some Cloudflare features may use cookies or similar technologies for security, performance, or other technical purposes.

The use of Cloudflare R2 for storage does not, by itself, mean that R2 places cookies in a visitor’s browser. Any such behavior depends on how storage and delivery services are integrated into the website.

Cloudflare’s handling of information is subject to its own policies and documentation.

4.3 Other Third-Party Services

Additional services may be integrated into x_O in the future.

If these services use cookies or similar technologies, their use may be covered by this policy and, where appropriate, by the provider’s own privacy and cookie documentation.

5. Third-Party Cookie Management

Cookies set by third-party services may be controlled by those providers rather than directly by x_O.

Their duration, purpose, and behavior may change based on provider settings and service updates.

We encourage visitors to review the relevant provider policies for more information about their technologies and privacy practices.

6. Managing Cookies Through Your Browser

Most web browsers allow users to manage cookies through their settings.

Depending on your browser, you may be able to:

• View stored cookies.
• Delete existing cookies.
• Block cookies from specific websites.
• Block third-party cookies.
• Clear cookies when closing the browser.
• Configure other privacy and tracking preferences.

Please note that blocking or deleting certain cookies may affect website functionality.

For example, account authentication and session-related features may not work properly if essential cookies are disabled.

7. Advertising and Personalization Choices

If x_O displays advertisements through third-party advertising providers, certain advertising technologies may be subject to the providers’ privacy and personalization settings.

You may be able to manage advertising preferences through the relevant provider’s available controls.

Your choices may affect how advertisements are selected or personalized, but may not necessarily prevent all advertisements from appearing.

8. Do Not Track and Similar Browser Signals

Some browsers provide privacy signals or settings intended to limit tracking.

The way these signals are handled may depend on the browser, service provider, and technical configuration.

We do not guarantee that every third-party service integrated with x_O will respond to every browser privacy signal in the same way.

9. Changes to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy when our website functionality, integrations, or use of cookies and similar technologies changes.

The latest version will be published on x_O with its updated date.
