## 2. 5W1H -- Cookie Policy Deconstructed

This section breaks down CryptoMize's cookie practices using the 5W1H framework, providing a quick-reference understanding of every dimension of our cookie operations.

### WHO -- Who Sets Cookies on This Website?

Cookies on cryptomize.com are set by two categories of entities: **CryptoMize itself** (first-party cookies) and **carefully vetted third-party service providers** (third-party cookies). First-party cookies are essential for core Website functionality, session management, and preference storage. Third-party cookies may be deployed by analytics platforms, content embedding services, and security monitoring tools. Each third-party vendor is subject to contractual data processing agreements that enforce compliance with this policy and applicable regulations.

### WHAT -- What Types of Data Do Cookies Collect?

Cookie-derived data includes: page visits and navigation patterns, session duration and timing, referral sources, device type and browser information, language and region preferences, and cookie consent preferences. CryptoMize practices data minimisation -- only the minimum data necessary for each cookie's stated purpose is collected. Where feasible, data is anonymised or aggregated before storage and analysis.

### WHEN -- When Are Cookies Set and How Long Do They Last?

Cookies are set upon your first visit to the Website and at specific interaction points such as login, preference selection, or form submission. Duration varies by cookie type: **session cookies** expire when you close your browser; **persistent cookies** remain for defined periods ranging from 30 days to 26 months depending on their purpose. Cookie consent preference cookies persist for 12 months. Persistent cookies may renew upon subsequent visits unless manually deleted.

### WHERE -- Where Is Cookie Data Processed and Stored?

Cookie-related data is processed and stored on servers located in secure data centres across jurisdictions where CryptoMize and its service providers operate. Data transfers between jurisdictions are governed by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or other approved transfer mechanisms. All data storage infrastructure meets CryptoMize's security standards, including TLS 1.3 encryption for transmission and access-controlled storage environments.

### WHY -- Why Does CryptoMize Use Cookies?

Cookies enable essential Website functionality, secure session management, performance monitoring and improvement, personalized user experiences, aggregated analytics for service optimisation, and compliance with legal and regulatory obligations. CryptoMize does not use cookies for unlawful purposes, undisclosed data collection, or activities incompatible with stated purposes.

### HOW -- How Can You Control Cookies?

You control cookies through multiple mechanisms: the cookie consent banner presented on your first visit, the cookie preference centre available throughout the Website, browser-level cookie settings that allow granular management, Do Not Track signals supported where technically feasible, and direct requests to the Data Protection Officer using contact information in Section 24.

## 3. Introduction -- How CryptoMize Uses Cookies

**This Cookie Policy explains how CryptoMize ("CryptoMize," "we," "us," or "our") uses cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tracking technologies on cryptomize.com (the "Website").**

This policy provides detailed information about the types of cookies we use, why we use them, how you can manage your cookie preferences, and your rights regarding tracking technologies. It forms part of our commitment to transparency and compliance with applicable data protection regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), Brazil's Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD), South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), and other relevant privacy frameworks.

CryptoMize operates as a Digital Conglomerate providing integrated strategic, security, intelligence, and governance services to elite clientele across 18 countries. Our approach to cookies reflects the same standards of precision, security, and respect for privacy that guide all our operations. Every cookie deployed on the Website serves a documented purpose, operates under a defined legal basis, and is subject to rigorous governance oversight.

This policy should be read in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, which provides detailed information about how we collect, use, and protect personal data. Together, these documents form the foundation of CryptoMize's privacy framework.

**Scope of This Policy:** This Cookie Policy applies exclusively to cryptomize.com. It does not apply to third-party websites linked from the Website, which are governed by their own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review the cookie policies of any third-party sites you visit.

**Policy Hierarchy:** This Cookie Policy operates within CryptoMize's broader data protection governance framework. It is subordinate to the Privacy Policy but provides specific, detailed guidance on cookie-related practices that supplement the general privacy disclosures.

## 4. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your device (computer, tablet, smartphone, or other device) when you visit a website. They are widely used to make websites function properly, improve user experience, provide analytics information, and deliver targeted content. Cookies act as a memory for websites, enabling them to recognise your device and remember information about your visit.

### Technical Foundation

When you visit the Website, your browser sends a request to our server. The server responds with the requested content along with a cookie header that instructs your browser to store a small data file. On subsequent requests, your browser sends this cookie back to the server, allowing the server to recognise your device and recall your preferences or previous interactions. This exchange happens in milliseconds and is fundamental to modern web functionality.

### Cookie Functions

**Essential Functions:** Cookies enable core website functionality such as secure login, session management, and remembering your cookie preferences. Without these cookies, certain parts of the Website may not function correctly -- for example, you may be unable to maintain a logged-in session across page navigations.

**Performance Functions:** Cookies collect anonymous information about how visitors use the Website, including which pages are visited most frequently, how users navigate between pages, how long users spend on each page, and whether users encounter errors. This data helps us continuously improve the Website experience.

**Functional Preferences:** Cookies remember choices you make on the Website, such as language preferences, region selection, text size, and display settings, to provide a personalised experience tailored to your preferences.

**Targeting and Marketing:** Cookies track your browsing habits across websites to build a profile of your interests, enabling the delivery of relevant content and advertisements. CryptoMize limits the use of targeting and marketing cookies and deploys them only with your explicit consent.

### First-Party vs. Third-Party Cookies

First-party cookies are set directly by cryptomize.com and are essential for core functionality, session management, and preference storage. The data collected by first-party cookies is accessible only to CryptoMize. Third-party cookies are set by domains other than cryptomize.com, typically by analytics services, advertising networks, content embedding platforms, or social media providers. These cookies are subject to the privacy and cookie policies of the third-party provider.

### Similar Technologies

In addition to cookies, the Website may use web beacons (also known as pixel tags or clear GIFs), which are tiny transparent images embedded in web pages or emails that track user interactions. Web beacons work in conjunction with cookies to provide usage analytics and measure engagement with content.

## 5. Types of Cookies We Use

CryptoMize uses the following categories of cookies on the Website. Each category has a distinct purpose, legal basis for processing, and set of controls available to you. We are committed to using only those cookies that are necessary for the functioning and improvement of the Website, and we continuously review our cookie inventory to ensure accuracy and necessity.

### 5.1 Strictly Necessary Cookies

These cookies are essential for the Website to function correctly. They enable core functionality such as page navigation, secure access to protected areas, load balancing, and management of cookie consent preferences. The Website cannot function properly without these cookies, and they are deployed automatically upon your visit.

**Examples include:** session management cookies that maintain your login state during a single visit and prevent unauthorised access to your account; security cookies that help detect and prevent fraudulent activity, cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks, and other security threats; cookie consent cookies that remember whether you have accepted or declined various cookie categories so that the consent banner is not repeatedly displayed.

**Legal Basis:** These cookies are deployed on the basis of legitimate interest and contractual necessity. No consent is required for strictly necessary cookies, as they are essential for the Website to operate.

These cookies do not collect information for marketing purposes and do not track your browsing activity across other websites. They are strictly limited to what is required for the Website to function.

### 5.2 Performance and Analytics Cookies

These cookies collect aggregated, anonymised information about how visitors use the Website. They help us understand which pages are most popular, how users navigate the site, where users encounter errors, and whether our content meets user needs.

**Data Collected:** Analytics cookies track page visit frequency, session duration, navigation paths, referral sources, device type, operating system, browser version, and broad geographic location (country or city level). All data collected through these cookies is aggregated and anonymised. Individual users are not identified.

**Legal Basis:** These cookies are deployed only after obtaining your explicit consent through the cookie consent banner. You may withdraw consent at any time.

**Purpose:** The insights derived from analytics cookies enable CryptoMize to continuously improve the Website, identify and fix usability issues, optimise content structure, and ensure that the Website performs reliably across different devices and browsers.

### 5.3 Functional and Preference Cookies

These cookies enable the Website to remember choices you make and provide enhanced, personalised features. They may be set by us or by third-party providers whose services we have integrated into our pages.

**Examples include:** language preference cookies that remember your selected language so that the Website displays in your preferred language on subsequent visits; region or country selection cookies that show you regionally relevant content; text size and accessibility preference cookies that maintain your chosen display settings; and saved form field preferences that pre-populate information you have previously entered.

**Legal Basis:** These cookies are deployed only after obtaining your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time.

### 5.4 Targeting and Marketing Cookies

These cookies may be set through our Website by advertising partners. They may be used to build a profile of your interests and show you relevant content on other websites. They do not directly store personal information but are based on uniquely identifying your browser and internet device.

**CryptoMize's Approach:** CryptoMize limits the use of targeting and marketing cookies. Where such cookies are deployed, they serve broad contextual advertising purposes rather than detailed behavioural profiling. Third-party advertising partners are contractually restricted in their use of data collected through the Website.

**Legal Basis:** These cookies are deployed only after obtaining your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time. Targeting cookies are not deployed for visitors identified as minors.

## 6. Third-Party Cookies and Services

Some cookies on the Website are placed by third-party service providers on our behalf. These providers have been carefully selected and are subject to data processing agreements that ensure compliance with applicable privacy regulations. CryptoMize maintains a structured vendor management programme that evaluates third-party privacy practices, security standards, and contractual compliance capabilities before engagement.

### 6.1 Analytics Services

We may use analytics services to understand how visitors interact with the Website. These services use cookies to collect information such as page visits, session duration, navigation patterns, device characteristics, and referral sources. The data collected is anonymised and used exclusively for improving the Website. Analytics providers are contractually prohibited from using collected data for their own purposes.

### 6.2 Embedded Content

The Website may contain embedded content from third-party services, such as videos, interactive maps, social media feeds, or other media. When you interact with embedded content, the third-party provider may set cookies on your device. These cookies are controlled by the third-party provider's own privacy and cookie policies, and CryptoMize does not control their cookie deployment. We recommend that you review the cookie policies of any third-party services whose content is embedded on the Website.

### 6.3 Social Media Features

If the Website includes social media features, these features may set cookies to track your interaction. Social media platforms that provide these features may use cookies for their own purposes, including analytics, content personalisation, and advertising, subject to their own privacy and cookie policies. CryptoMize does not control the cookies set by social media platforms through embedded features.

### 6.4 Security and Fraud Prevention Services

CryptoMize may engage third-party security services that deploy cookies to detect and prevent fraudulent activity, protect against malicious traffic, and ensure the integrity of the Website. These cookies are deployed on the basis of legitimate interest and are strictly limited to security purposes.

**Keywords:** third-party cookies, analytics providers, embedded content cookies, social media cookies, data processing agreements, vendor management

## 7. Cookie Duration and Expiration

Cookies on the Website have varying durations based on their purpose and category. Understanding cookie duration helps you make informed decisions about consent and preference management.

### 7.1 Session Cookies

Session cookies are temporary cookies that expire when you close your browser. They are essential for the Website to function during your visit, maintaining your session state as you navigate between pages. Session cookies store no permanent information and are deleted automatically when you end your browsing session. Examples include login session tokens and CSRF protection tokens.

### 7.2 Persistent Cookies

Persistent cookies remain on your device after you close your browser, for a specified period or until you manually delete them. The duration of persistent cookies varies by purpose:

- **Cookie consent preference cookies:** 12 months
- **Language and region preference cookies:** 12 months
- **Analytics cookies:** 13 to 26 months, depending on the specific provider
- **Functional preference cookies:** 30 days to 12 months

### 7.3 Cookie Renewal Mechanism

Persistent cookies may be renewed each time you visit the Website, resetting their expiration period to the original duration from the date of the most recent visit. This renewal mechanism ensures that your preferences and settings remain active as long as you continue to use the Website. You can delete persistent cookies at any time through your browser settings, which will remove them from your device regardless of their expiration date.

### 7.4 Maximum Cookie Lifespan

CryptoMize sets maximum cookie lifespans in accordance with regulatory guidance and industry best practices. No persistent cookie deployed by CryptoMize exceeds 26 months from the date of first deployment or most recent renewal. This limitation aligns with GDPR cookie guidance and ePrivacy Directive recommendations.

**Keywords:** session cookies, persistent cookies, cookie duration, cookie expiration, cookie lifecycle, cookie renewal

## 8. Your Consent and Cookie Preferences

CryptoMize respects your right to control how cookies are used when you visit the Website. We implement a layered consent mechanism that provides clear choices and granular control over each cookie category.

### 8.1 Consent Mechanism

Upon your first visit to the Website, you will be presented with a cookie consent banner that provides a clear overview of the cookies we use and asks for your consent before setting non-essential cookies. The banner categorises cookies by type and purpose, enabling you to make an informed decision. You may accept all cookies, decline all non-essential cookies, or customise your preferences for each category.

### 8.2 Granular Preference Controls

The cookie preference centre provides granular controls for each cookie category: strictly necessary (always active), performance and analytics (opt-in), functional and preference (opt-in), and targeting and marketing (opt-in). You can access the preference centre at any time through the cookie settings link in the Website footer.

### 8.3 Withdrawal of Consent

You may withdraw or modify your consent at any time through the cookie preference centre. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. When consent is withdrawn, the relevant non-essential cookies will be disabled and any previously collected cookie data will be handled in accordance with applicable data retention and erasure policies.

### 8.4 Managing Cookies Through Browser Settings

Most web browsers allow you to manage cookies through their settings. You can view which cookies are stored, delete individual or all cookies, block cookies from specific websites, set preferences for third-party cookies, and configure private or incognito browsing modes that restrict cookie storage. Below are the browser menu paths for managing cookies in common browsers:

- **Google Chrome:** Settings > Privacy and Security > Cookies and other site data
- **Mozilla Firefox:** Options > Privacy and Security > Cookies and Site Data
- **Apple Safari:** Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and website data
- **Microsoft Edge:** Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Cookies and site data

### 8.5 Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal that requests that websites disable tracking. The Website responds to DNT signals where technically feasible. However, because DNT standards are not universally adopted, we also recommend using the cookie preference centre for explicit control over tracking preferences.

### 8.6 Consent History and Audit Trail

CryptoMize logs all consent actions you take through the cookie consent mechanism, including the timestamp of each consent grant or withdrawal, the specific categories selected, and the Cookie Policy version in effect. This audit trail enables you to verify your consent decisions and provides a transparent record of your privacy choices. You may request a copy of your consent history by contacting our Data Protection Officer.

## 10. International Cookie Compliance Frameworks

CryptoMize's cookie practices are designed to comply with applicable data protection and privacy regulations across all jurisdictions in which the organisation operates. The following frameworks inform our approach, and we continuously monitor regulatory developments to maintain compliance.

### General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

For visitors accessing the Website from the European Economic Area (EEA), CryptoMize complies with GDPR requirements including explicit consent for non-essential cookies obtained through clear affirmative action, granular information about each cookie category's purpose and processing activities, the right to withdraw consent at any time with the same ease as it was given, data processing records documenting consent collection and preference changes, and Privacy by Design principles applied to cookie deployment architecture.

**Regulatory Compliance Reference:** GDPR Articles 6 (lawfulness of processing), 7 (conditions for consent), 13 (information to be provided), 25 (data protection by design), and Recital 30 (online identifiers).

### California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)

For visitors accessing the Website from California, CryptoMize complies with CCPA and CPRA requirements including the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (which may include cookie-related data under certain interpretations), clear and conspicuous disclosure of data collection practices through this policy and the cookie consent banner, equal service and price regardless of privacy choices exercised, the right to know what personal information is collected, used, shared, or sold, and the right to request deletion of personal information collected through cookies.

### Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) -- Brazil

For visitors accessing the Website from Brazil, CryptoMize complies with LGPD requirements regarding cookie consent, data processing transparency, and user rights. LGPD consent standards are aligned with our general consent mechanisms, providing Brazilian users with the same level of control and information as EEA users.

### Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) -- South Africa

For visitors accessing the Website from South Africa, CryptoMize complies with POPIA requirements including lawful processing conditions for cookie-related data, accountability and transparency obligations, and data subject participation rights.

### Other Applicable Frameworks

CryptoMize monitors and adapts to cookie-related regulatory developments across all jurisdictions where Website visitors may be located, including but not limited to Argentina's Personal Data Protection Act, Japan's Act on Protection of Personal Information (APPI), South Korea's Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), and other emerging privacy frameworks. Our compliance approach is jurisdiction-sensitive and designed to provide the highest applicable level of protection.

## 11. GDPR Compliance Framework

This section provides detailed information about CryptoMize's compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation as it applies to cookie deployment and tracking technologies on the Website.

### Consent Architecture

CryptoMize implements a two-stage consent architecture compliant with GDPR Article 7 and ePrivacy Directive requirements. Stage one presents a clear, concise cookie consent banner upon first visit that categorises cookies and obtains unambiguous consent through affirmative action (button click). Stage two provides a granular preference centre accessible at any time for detailed category-level control.

### Consent Granularity

Users are provided with independent controls for each cookie category: strictly necessary (not subject to consent, always active), performance and analytics (opt-in), functional and preference (opt-in), and targeting and marketing (opt-in). This granularity ensures that users can consent to specific purposes while refusing others, as required by GDPR Article 7(4).

### Withdrawal Mechanics

Consent withdrawal is available with the same ease as consent grant, as mandated by GDPR Article 7(3). Users may withdraw consent through the cookie preference centre with a single click. Withdrawal applies prospectively and does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. The preference centre is accessible from every page through the Website footer.

### Data Processing Records

CryptoMize maintains comprehensive data processing records documenting cookie consent collection, including the timestamp of consent, the specific categories consented to, the Cookie Policy version in effect at the time of consent, user agent and IP anonymisation data, and any subsequent changes to consent preferences. These records are retained for the duration required by applicable regulations and are available for regulatory inspection upon request.

### Privacy by Design and Default

Cookie deployment on the Website follows Privacy by Design principles mandated by GDPR Article 25. Data minimisation is applied to all cookie categories. Anonymisation and aggregation are used wherever feasible. Default settings respect privacy by deploying only strictly necessary cookies until the user takes affirmative action to consent to additional categories.

### Data Transfer Safeguards

Where cookie data is transferred from the EEA to jurisdictions not covered by an adequacy decision, CryptoMize implements appropriate safeguards including Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, supplementary technical measures including encryption and pseudonymisation, and transfer impact assessments documenting the legal and practical protections applicable to transferred data.

### Supervisory Authority

Users in the EEA have the right to lodge a complaint with their local data protection supervisory authority if they believe that CryptoMize's cookie practices violate GDPR requirements. Contact information for the relevant supervisory authority varies by member state. We encourage users to contact our Data Protection Officer first so that we may address any concerns directly.

**Keywords:** GDPR compliance, GDPR cookies, consent architecture, privacy by design, SCCs, data processing records, supervisory authority

---

## 12. CCPA/CPRA Compliance Framework

This section provides detailed information about CryptoMize's compliance with the California Consumer Privacy Act and the California Privacy Rights Act as they apply to cookie deployment and tracking technologies.

### Opt-Out Rights

California residents have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of their personal information. Where cookie-related data may constitute a sale or sharing under CCPA/CPRA definitions, CryptoMize provides a clear "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link and processes opt-out requests promptly. Opt-out preferences are respected through technical mechanisms that prevent the deployment of cookies that would constitute a sale or sharing of personal information.

CryptoMize also honours Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals transmitted by your browser or extension as valid opt-out requests under the CCPA/CPRA. When a GPC signal is detected, it is treated as an opt-out for the device and browser from which it originates.

### Right to Know

California residents have the right to request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected through cookies, the categories of sources from which the information is collected, the business purposes for collecting or selling the information, and the categories of third parties with whom the information is shared or sold. These disclosures are provided free of charge within the timeframes required by the CCPA/CPRA.

### Right to Delete

California residents have the right to request deletion of personal information collected through cookies, subject to applicable exceptions such as completion of transactions, detection of security incidents, compliance with legal obligations, and other exceptions specified in the CCPA/CPRA. Deletion requests are processed within 45 days (extendable by an additional 45 days with notice).

### Right to Non-Discrimination

CryptoMize does not discriminate against California residents who exercise their CCPA/CPRA rights. Users who opt out of cookie-based data collection receive the same quality of service, pricing, and access to the Website as users who do not exercise these rights.

### Authorised Agent Requests

California residents may designate an authorised agent to exercise CCPA/CPRA rights on their behalf. Authorised agent requests are processed after verification that the agent has written authorisation signed by the consumer, identity verification of both the consumer and the agent, and direct confirmation from the consumer that the agent has been authorised to submit the request.

### Sensitive Personal Information

CryptoMize does not use cookies to collect sensitive personal information as defined by the CPRA (including precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, health information, or biometric data). No sensitive personal information is collected, used, or disclosed for purposes beyond those disclosed in this policy.

## 13. Cookie Policy Enforcement and Governance

CryptoMize maintains internal governance structures to ensure ongoing compliance with this Cookie Policy and applicable regulations.

**Policy Ownership:** This Cookie Policy is owned by the Data Protection Officer (DPO), who is responsible for policy maintenance, regulatory monitoring, compliance enforcement, and serving as the point of contact for regulatory authorities and data subjects. The DPO reports directly to organisational leadership on privacy and cookie-related matters and has independent authority to recommend changes to cookie practices.

**Periodic Review Schedule:** This policy is reviewed at least annually, or more frequently when regulatory changes, technological developments, operational changes, or new third-party service integrations warrant updates. Review findings are documented, approved by the Data Protection Officer, and retained as part of CryptoMize's compliance records.

**Compliance Auditing:** CryptoMize conducts periodic audits of cookie deployment, consent mechanisms, data processing practices, and vendor compliance to verify alignment with this policy and applicable regulations. Audit results inform continuous improvement of cookie practices and are documented for regulatory inspection. Audits cover all cookie categories, third-party vendors, consent records, and data processing activities.

**Vendor Compliance Oversight:** Third-party service providers who deploy cookies through the Website are subject to contractual data processing agreements that require compliance with this Cookie Policy and applicable privacy regulations. Pre-engagement privacy assessments evaluate vendor practices, security standards, and compliance capabilities. Vendor compliance is reviewed periodically, and non-compliant vendors are subject to remediation plans or contract termination.

**Incident Response:** Any identified deviations from this Cookie Policy are documented, assessed for risk, and remediated according to CryptoMize's incident response procedures. Incidents involving unauthorised cookie deployment or cookie-related data breaches are escalated to the DPO and, where required by applicable law, reported to relevant regulatory authorities and affected individuals.

## 14. User Rights Under Global Privacy Frameworks

This section summarises the rights available to Website visitors under applicable privacy frameworks regarding cookie-related data processing. Rights may vary by jurisdiction, and CryptoMize applies the highest applicable standard where conflicts arise.

**Right to Information:** You have the right to clear, transparent information about how cookies are used on the Website, the purposes of each cookie category, the legal bases for processing, and the data processing involved. This Cookie Policy fulfills that right. Additional information is available upon request from the Data Protection Officer.

**Right to Consent Withdrawal:** You may withdraw your consent to non-essential cookies at any time through the cookie preference centre or your browser settings. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. Withdrawal mechanisms are designed to be as easy to use as consent mechanisms.

**Right to Access:** You may request information about what cookie-related data has been collected about your browsing activity on the Website, subject to verification of your identity. Access requests are acknowledged within five business days and processed within one month. Information is provided in a concise, transparent, and easily accessible format.

**Right to Rectification:** You may request correction of any inaccurate cookie-related data held about your browsing activity or preferences. CryptoMize processes rectification requests promptly and communicates corrections to any third parties with whom the data has been shared.

**Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten):** You may request deletion of cookie-related data collected about your browsing activity, subject to applicable legal retention requirements and operational limitations. Erasure requests are evaluated against any legal obligations that may require data retention, and you will be informed of any limitations on erasure.

**Right to Restriction of Processing:** You may request restriction of cookie-related data processing where the accuracy of the data is contested, the processing is unlawful but you oppose erasure, CryptoMize no longer needs the data but you require it for legal claims, or you have objected to processing pending verification of legitimate grounds.

**Right to Data Portability:** Where technically feasible, you may request a copy of cookie-related data collected about your browsing activity in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. Data portability requests are processed within one month.

**Right to Object:** You may object to the processing of cookie-related data for direct marketing purposes, including profiling related to direct marketing. Upon receiving an objection, CryptoMize will cease processing for such purposes.

**Exercising Your Rights:** To exercise any of these rights, contact our Data Protection Officer using the information in Section 24 of this policy. Requests are acknowledged within five business days and processed within one month. No fee is charged for exercising these rights unless requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive.

**Keywords:** user rights, GDPR rights, CCPA rights, data access, data erasure, consent withdrawal, data portability, right to object

## 15. Children's Privacy and Cookie Restrictions

CryptoMize does not knowingly deploy cookies that track or profile children under the age of 16. The Website is not directed at children, and the organisation does not intentionally collect cookie-related data from minors. Consistent with our Privacy Policy commitments, we apply additional safeguards to protect minors' privacy in connection with online tracking technologies.

**Age-Gated Consent:** Where regulatory frameworks require age-gated consent mechanisms (such as GDPR provisions for children under specific age thresholds, typically 13 to 16 depending on member state), CryptoMize implements appropriate verification and consent mechanisms. Where age cannot be reliably determined, the higher age threshold is applied as a precaution.

**Restricted Cookie Categories for Minors:** Marketing and targeting cookies are not deployed for visitors identified as minors. Analytics and functional cookies are deployed only where strictly necessary and in compliance with applicable regulations. Preference cookies for minors are limited to essential functional preferences only.

**Data Retention for Minors:** Cookie-related data collected from minors is retained for the minimum period necessary and is subject to expedited deletion upon reaching the age of majority or upon request of the minor or their parent or guardian.

## 16. Analytics and Cookie Data Processing

CryptoMize processes data collected through cookies in accordance with defined purposes, legal bases, and retention schedules. This section provides detailed information about how cookie-derived data is processed, stored, and protected.

**Processing Purposes:** Cookie-derived data is processed for website functionality and performance, user experience enhancement, aggregated analytics and trend analysis, security monitoring and fraud prevention, legal and regulatory compliance, and legitimate interest evaluations. Data is not processed for purposes incompatible with those disclosed at the time of collection. Any new processing purposes are evaluated for compatibility and disclosed through updates to this policy.

**Legal Bases for Processing:** Strictly necessary cookies are deployed on the basis of legitimate interest or contractual necessity, as they are essential for the Website to function. Performance, functional, and marketing cookies are deployed only on the basis of explicit consent, which may be withdrawn at any time. Consent is obtained through the cookie consent banner and preference centre before any non-essential cookie is set.

**Data Minimisation:** CryptoMize collects only the cookie data necessary for the stated purposes of each cookie category. Data collection is calibrated to the minimum required for functionality, analytics, or personalisation objectives. Cookie parameters are configured to collect the least data possible while achieving the intended purpose.

**Anonymisation and Aggregation:** Where feasible, cookie-derived data is anonymised or aggregated before storage and analysis. IP addresses are anonymised for analytics processing by removing the last octet of IPv4 addresses. Aggregated data is used for trend analysis and reporting. Anonymised data is not subject to individual rights requests as it no longer constitutes personal data.

**Retention Schedules:** Cookie-derived data is retained only for as long as necessary to achieve the processing purpose. Analytics data is retained for a maximum of 26 months. Preference and functional data is retained for the duration of the cookie's lifespan, as specified in Section 7. Consent records are retained for the duration required by applicable regulations, typically five years after the last interaction.

**Automated Data Deletion:** Data collected through cookies is subject to automated deletion upon expiry of the applicable retention period. Deletion is performed through automated scripts that permanently remove data from active databases and backup systems within the scheduled backup rotation cycle.

**Keywords:** data processing, analytics processing, legal basis, data minimisation, anonymisation, processing purposes, retention schedules

## 17. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

CryptoMize limits the use of cookies for automated decision-making and profiling activities, consistent with the organisation's commitment to privacy and data protection. This section describes the scope and limitations of any automated processing involving cookie-derived data.

**Profiling Limitations:** CryptoMize does not use cookies for automated individual decision-making that produces legal effects or similarly significant impacts on Website visitors. Analytics and preference cookies are used for aggregate analysis and user experience enhancement, not individual profiling that determines eligibility for services, pricing, or terms.

**Interest-Based Advertising Restrictions:** Where targeting cookies are deployed, CryptoMize limits their use to broad contextual advertising and does not engage in detailed behavioural profiling for advertising purposes. Third-party advertising partners are contractually restricted in their use of data collected through the Website and are prohibited from building detailed profiles based on Website visitor activity.

**Aggregate Analytics Only:** Analytics cookies deployed on the Website are configured to collect aggregated, anonymised data only. Individual user behaviour is not tracked for purposes of automated decisions. Reports generated from analytics data reflect aggregate trends, not individual user profiles.

**Transparency Requirements:** Any automated decision-making or profiling activities involving cookie data are disclosed in this policy and the associated consent mechanism. Users are provided with clear information about the nature, scope, and significance of such activities. No automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects are made without human intervention.

**Right to Human Intervention:** Where automated decision-making based on cookie data occurs, users have the right to obtain human intervention, express their point of view, and contest the decision. Users may exercise this right by contacting the Data Protection Officer using the information in Section 24.

**Keywords:** automated decision-making, profiling, behavioural advertising, interest-based ads, automated processing, human intervention

## 18. Cookie Security and Data Integrity

CryptoMize applies rigorous security measures to protect cookie-related data, consistent with the security standards applied to all organisational data processing. These measures ensure that cookie data remains confidential, integral, and available only for authorised purposes.

**Transmission Security:** Cookie data transmitted between your browser and the Website is protected by TLS 1.3 encryption, ensuring that data cannot be intercepted, read, or modified during transmission. All Website communications are served over HTTPS, providing end-to-end encryption for all data exchanges including cookie headers.

**Storage Protection:** Cookie data stored by the Website is protected through access controls, authentication requirements, and compartmentalised infrastructure. Access to cookie-related data is restricted to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis. Third-party analytics providers are contractually required to implement equivalent security measures and are subject to periodic compliance verification.

**Integrity Monitoring:** CryptoMize monitors cookie deployment and data collection for unauthorised modifications, injection attempts, tampering, or other integrity compromises. Monitoring systems detect anomalies in cookie parameters, deployment patterns, and data flows. Any detected anomalies are investigated and remediated according to the organisation's incident response protocols.

**Data Breach Response:** In the event of a data breach involving cookie-related data, CryptoMize follows established incident response procedures including containment and eradication of the breach, assessment of risk to affected individuals, notification to affected individuals where required by applicable law, and notification to relevant regulatory authorities within the timeframes prescribed by applicable regulations (72 hours for GDPR). CryptoMize maintains a breach response plan that is tested periodically.

**Secure Cookie Attributes:** Cookies deployed by the Website are configured with secure attributes where technically feasible, including the Secure flag (cookie transmitted only over HTTPS), the HttpOnly flag (cookie inaccessible to client-side scripts, reducing XSS risk), and the SameSite attribute (restricting cross-site request contexts). These attributes minimise common attack vectors.

## 19. Cross-Device Tracking and Preference Synchronisation

CryptoMize's approach to cross-device tracking is designed to respect user privacy while enabling consistent website experiences across devices. This section explains how we handle the relationship between cookies on different devices you may use to access the Website.

**Cross-Device Identification:** CryptoMize does not engage in cross-device tracking that builds unified profiles of user activity across multiple devices. Analytics are conducted on a per-device, per-session basis without cross-device correlation. We do not use deterministic or probabilistic methods to link user activity across separate devices.

**Preference Synchronisation:** Where technically feasible, cookie preferences set on one device may be applied across your other devices through privacy-preserving synchronisation methods that do not rely on cross-device tracking. Preference synchronisation is implemented only with your explicit consent and uses privacy-preserving tokens rather than persistent identifiers.

**Device-Specific Consent:** Cookie consent preferences are stored on a per-device basis as the default approach. Visitors who use multiple devices to access the Website must set their preferences on each device independently, unless privacy-preserving synchronisation is technically feasible and has been consented to. This approach ensures that each device reflects your most current preferences for that specific browsing context.

**Cross-Device Analytics Limitations:** Where aggregated, anonymised analytics may suggest multi-device usage patterns, these insights are derived from statistical analysis of aggregate data, not from cross-device tracking of individual users. No individual-level cross-device profiles are created or maintained.

**Logged-In User Considerations:** For users who log into their CryptoMize account, session management is limited to the device on which the login occurs. Logged-in status does not extend to other devices, and no cross-device session synchronisation is performed.

**Keywords:** cross-device tracking, preference synchronisation, multi-device consent, device-specific cookies, cross-device privacy

## 20. Vendor Management and Third-Party Auditing

CryptoMize maintains structured vendor management processes for third-party services that deploy cookies through the Website. This section describes the lifecycle of third-party vendor oversight from selection through termination.

**Vendor Selection Criteria:** Third-party services are selected based on their privacy practices, data security standards, contractual compliance capabilities, regulatory compliance history, and alignment with CryptoMize's privacy commitments. Vendors with inadequate privacy practices are not engaged regardless of functionality benefits. A formal privacy assessment is conducted before engagement.

**Data Processing Agreements:** All third-party vendors who deploy cookies through the Website are subject to data processing agreements (DPAs) that specify processing purposes, data categories and types, security measures and technical controls, data retention periods and deletion protocols, compliance with applicable privacy regulations, sub-processor engagement restrictions, data breach notification obligations, audit and inspection rights, and liability and indemnification provisions.

**Vendor Auditing:** CryptoMize conducts periodic reviews of vendor cookie practices, data processing activities, security measures, and regulatory compliance. Reviews include assessment of cookie deployment changes, data flow mapping verification, security control testing, and contractual compliance confirmation. Vendors identified as non-compliant with contractual requirements are subject to remediation plans with defined timelines or contract termination for material breaches.

**Vendor Inventory:** CryptoMize maintains an inventory of all third-party services deployed on the Website, documenting each vendor's identity and contact information, the cookies they set and their purposes, the data they collect and processing purposes, the legal bases relied upon, data retention periods, sub-processors engaged, and data transfer mechanisms and jurisdictions. This inventory is reviewed and updated quarterly.

**Sub-Processor Oversight:** Third-party vendors are required to disclose their sub-processors and obtain CryptoMize's approval before engaging new sub-processors that may process cookie-related data. Sub-processor engagements are subject to the same contractual requirements as direct vendors.

**Vendor Termination:** When a vendor engagement terminates, the vendor is contractually required to delete or return all cookie-related data collected through the Website within defined timeframes. Vendor deletion is confirmed in writing, and CryptoMize may conduct post-termination verification.

## 22. Frequently Asked Questions

This section addresses common questions about CryptoMize's cookie practices. If your question is not answered here, please contact the Data Protection Officer using the information in Section 24.

---

**FAQ 1: What happens if I block all cookies?**

Blocking all cookies will prevent the Website from functioning correctly. Strictly necessary cookies are required for core functionality including secure session management, navigation, and cookie preference storage. If you block all cookies, you may be unable to log in, access secure areas, or maintain preferences across page visits. The cookie preference centre allows you to selectively disable non-essential cookies while maintaining essential functionality.

**FAQ 2: How do I delete cookies that have already been set?**

You can delete cookies already stored on your device through your browser settings. Each browser provides options to view stored cookies, delete individual cookies from specific websites, or clear all cookies. Instructions for common browsers are provided in Section 8.4 of this policy. Alternatively, you can use the cookie preference centre to disable non-essential cookies, after which you may manually delete existing cookies through your browser.

**FAQ 3: Does CryptoMize use cookies for advertising?**

CryptoMize limits the use of targeting and marketing cookies. Where such cookies are deployed, they serve broad contextual advertising purposes rather than detailed behavioural profiling. Third-party advertising partners are contractually restricted in their use of data collected through the Website. Targeting cookies are deployed only with your explicit consent.

**FAQ 4: How long do cookies last?**

Cookie duration varies by type and purpose. Session cookies expire when you close your browser. Persistent cookies may last from 30 days to 26 months, depending on their category and function. Detailed duration information for each cookie is provided in the cookie table in Section 9. Persistent cookies may be renewed on subsequent visits, resetting their expiration period.

**FAQ 5: Will my cookie preferences sync across my devices?**

By default, cookie preferences are stored on a per-device basis. If you access the Website from multiple devices, you should set your preferences on each device. Where technically feasible and with your explicit consent, privacy-preserving preference synchronisation may be available. CryptoMize does not engage in cross-device tracking to unify preferences across devices without your consent.

**FAQ 6: Does CryptoMize sell cookie-related data?**

CryptoMize does not sell cookie-related data in exchange for monetary consideration. Where cookie-related data practices may be considered a "sale" or "sharing" under applicable regulations such as the CCPA/CPRA, we provide opt-out rights and respect such requests promptly. California residents may opt out through the cookie preference centre.

**FAQ 7: How will I know if this Cookie Policy changes?**

Material changes to this Cookie Policy are communicated through an updated "Last Modified" date at the top of this page, a notice on the Website, and where appropriate, fresh consent requests for any new or changed cookie practices. We encourage you to review this policy periodically for updates.

**FAQ 8: What is the difference between first-party and third-party cookies?**

First-party cookies are set directly by cryptomize.com and are used for core functionality, session management, and preference storage. The data collected by first-party cookies is accessible only to CryptoMize. Third-party cookies are set by domains other than cryptomize.com, such as analytics providers or content embedding services. Third-party cookie data may be accessible to the third-party provider and is subject to their privacy policies.

**FAQ 9: Can I opt out of analytics cookies without affecting website functionality?**

Yes. Analytics cookies are non-essential and can be disabled through the cookie preference centre without affecting the core functionality of the Website. Disabling analytics cookies means that your visits will not be included in aggregate usage statistics, but the Website will continue to function normally. Strictly necessary cookies will continue to operate regardless of your analytics preferences.

**FAQ 10: Are cookies considered personal data under GDPR?**

Under GDPR Recital 30, online identifiers such as cookies may constitute personal data when they can be used to identify an individual, alone or in combination with other information. CryptoMize treats cookie-related data as personal data where it can be linked to an identifiable individual. Where cookie data is fully anonymised and cannot be linked to an identifiable individual, it is not treated as personal data. CryptoMize applies GDPR protections to cookie-related data in accordance with regulatory guidance.

**FAQ 11: Does the Website use any cookies for AI or machine learning purposes?**

CryptoMize does not deploy cookies specifically for training AI or machine learning models. Analytics cookies are used for aggregate trend analysis, not for individual profiling or model training. Any future deployment of AI-related cookies will be disclosed through updates to this policy and will be subject to the same consent and transparency requirements.

**FAQ 12: What should I do if I suspect unauthorised cookies on the Website?**

If you suspect that unauthorised cookies have been deployed on the Website, please contact our Data Protection Officer immediately using the information in Section 24. CryptoMize investigates all reports of unauthorised cookie deployment and takes corrective action where necessary. You may also clear cookies through your browser settings as an immediate precaution.
