Cookie Policy
1. What This Policy Covers
This Cookie Policy explains how Pyronyx Dynamics uses cookies and similar technologies on its website. It describes what cookies are, which ones we use, why we use them, and how you can control them. This policy is part of our broader commitment to transparency and to building technology that respects the people who interact with it.
We do not believe the web should be a surveillance apparatus. Our use of cookies is minimal, functional, and never deployed for the purpose of tracking you across the internet or building a profile of your behavior.
2. What Is a Cookie?
A cookie is a small text file that a website stores on your device when you visit it. Cookies serve many purposes: they can remember your preferences, keep you logged in, or — in the case of third-party advertising cookies — follow you from site to site to build a detailed dossier of your interests. We use none of the latter category. Cookies may be "session" cookies, which expire when you close your browser, or "persistent" cookies, which remain on your device for a defined period or until you manually delete them.
3. Cookies We Use
We classify every cookie on our site into one of the following categories. As of the present date, our site deploys only Essential Cookies:
Essential Cookies
These are strictly necessary for the website to function. Without them, core features — like navigating between pages, submitting a contact form, or maintaining a secure session — would not operate. Essential cookies do not store any personally identifiable information beyond what is required for the immediate technical operation of the site. They are set by our own domain and are never shared with or readable by third parties. The essential cookies we use include:
- Session identifier: A temporary token that allows our server to recognize your browser during a single visit, enabling form submissions and navigation to work correctly. This expires when you close your browser.
- CSRF token: A security cookie that protects you and our systems from cross-site request forgery attacks. It contains no personal data and expires with your session.
- Theme preference: If you toggle between light and dark mode, a small cookie remembers your choice so the site renders correctly on your next visit. This cookie persists for thirty days and contains only a single value: "light" or "dark."
4. Cookies We Do NOT Use
To be perfectly clear, the following types of cookies are entirely absent from our website:
- Advertising cookies: We do not serve advertisements, nor do we allow third-party ad networks to place cookies on our site.
- Tracking and analytics cookies: We do not use Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, or any other service that tracks your behavior across pages or sessions for analytics or marketing purposes.
- Social media cookies: We do not embed social media share buttons, like buttons, or comment widgets that would allow social platforms to track your visit.
- Fingerprinting scripts: We do not deploy any script that attempts to identify your device through canvas fingerprinting, font enumeration, WebGL properties, or any other passive identification technique.
5. Third-Party Services
Our website loads fonts from Google Fonts via a privacy-preserving method that does not set cookies or transmit identifying information. We also reference email links that open in your default mail client, which is controlled by your device settings and not by our site. Beyond these, no third-party resources are loaded that could set cookies or collect data during your visit.
6. Managing and Disabling Cookies
You have full control over cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies on a site-by-site basis or globally. Instructions for common browsers:
- Firefox: Preferences → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies and other site data
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Cookies and website data
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and site permissions → Manage and delete cookies
Please be aware that disabling essential cookies may prevent our website from functioning correctly — forms may not submit, and the site may not render as intended. Because we use only essential cookies, there is no "cookie consent banner" to dismiss; your use of the site constitutes acknowledgment that these minimal, necessary cookies will be set.
7. Changes to This Policy
If we ever introduce a new category of cookie — for example, a self-hosted analytics tool that helps us understand aggregate page traffic without sharing data externally — we will update this policy before that cookie is deployed. You will find the most current version of this policy at this URL. Because we value your attention, we will not bury substantive changes in legalese or hope you do not notice.
8. Relationship to Our Privacy Policy
This Cookie Policy is a supplement to our Privacy Policy, which governs all data collection and handling practices. Nothing in this policy contradicts or overrides the commitments made in our Privacy Policy. If any conflict exists between the two documents, the Privacy Policy shall control.
