1. What Are Cookies & Tracking Technologies? #
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit websites. They are widely used to make websites function efficiently, remember your logged-in state, store display preferences, and provide analytical telemetry to site operators.
In addition to cookies, we may use local storage objects (such as HTML5 `localStorage` and `sessionStorage`) to store user interface preferences locally in your web browser.
2. Cookie Categories We Use #
We classify cookies used across ViralMag into three distinct categories:
A. Essential / Strictly Necessary Cookies (Required)
These cookies are essential for the operation of the application. They enable core functionality such as user authentication, session security, workspace routing, and CSRF protection. Because the product cannot function without them, these cookies do not require prior consent.
B. Functionality & Preference Cookies (Optional)
These cookies allow us to remember decisions you make (such as dark/light theme choice or collapsed sidebar state) to provide a tailored, responsive experience.
C. Analytics & Performance Cookies (Opt-In Only)
These cookies collect aggregated, privacy-preserving information about how visitors navigate our marketing pages, which templates generate interest, and where performance bottlenecks occur. Analytics cookies are set ONLY after you accept the cookie banner on your initial visit.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences #
You have full control over non-essential cookies on ViralMag:
- Cookie Consent Banner: When you first visit ViralMag, a banner allows you to accept or decline analytics cookies. You can update your choice at any time.
- Browser Controls: All web browsers permit you to block or delete cookies via settings (e.g. Google Chrome `Settings > Privacy & Security`, Mozilla Firefox `Options > Privacy`, Apple Safari `Preferences > Privacy`).
- Global Privacy Control (GPC): We recognize and honor browser-level Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals and Do Not Track (DNT) headers automatically.
5. Third-Party Embeds & Web Fonts #
Marketing pages load custom web typography from Google Fonts over HTTPS. No advertising pixels, retargeting tags, or cross-site tracking cookies (such as Facebook Pixel or Google Ads Remarketing) are set by ViralMag.
6. Policy Updates & Contact #
We may update this Cookie Policy periodically to reflect technological changes or regulatory updates. If you have questions about how we use cookies, please contact our team.
