Cookie Policy

Effective Date: August 12, 2026
Last Updated: August 12, 2026

At ExtBit LLC ("ExtBit," "we," "us," or "our"), our technical philosophy is governed by a strict mandate: "Extend the bit, protect your data."

This Cookie Policy explains how and why we use cookies, local storage, and similar web technologies on our website (extbit.com) and related web infrastructure.

In alignment with our commitment to user privacy and data minimization, we do not use cookies for cross-site behavioral tracking, targeted advertising, or selling user profiles to third parties.

1. What Are Cookies and Local Storage?

  • Cookies: Small text files placed on your computer or mobile device by a web server when you visit a website. Cookies allow websites to remember your device, preserve active sessions, and store user preferences over time.
  • Local Storage & Session Storage: Standard web browser storage technologies (HTML5 Web Storage) that enable web applications to store data locally within your browser without sending that data back to the server on every request.

2. Our Approach to Cookies & Tracking

We believe that web browsing should be private by default. Unlike mainstream commercial sites that embed dozens of invasive marketing scripts, pixel tags, and ad-network trackers, ExtBit LLC keeps web tracking to the absolute minimum necessary for secure and reliable operation.

  • No Advertising Cookies: We do not deploy third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or behavioral ad scripts.
  • No Third-Party Data Harvesting: We do not sell, license, or transmit cookie data to data brokers or advertising networks.

3. Categories of Cookies & Storage We Use

We utilize only the following categories of technologies on our website and web portals:

A. Strictly Necessary & Security Technologies

These technologies are essential for the operation, availability, and security of our website. Without them, core functions (such as secure authentication and network defense) cannot operate properly.

  • Session & Auth Tokens: Used to maintain your secure authenticated state when logging into commercial client portals or managing developer licenses.
  • Security & DDoS Mitigation: Used by our edge infrastructure and firewalls to detect automated abuse, enforce rate limits, and mitigate denial-of-service attacks.

B. Functional & Preference Storage

These tools allow our website to remember your explicit settings and UI choices to provide a seamless user experience.

  • User Preferences: Storing local preference settings (such as dark/light display mode or language selection).
  • Form & UI State: Temporarily holding state in browser local storage while you navigate multi-step technical forms or documentation.

4. How to Control & Disable Cookies

You have the right to control, block, or delete cookies at any time through your web browser settings.

A. Browser Settings

Most modern web browsers allow you to manage cookie preferences, block third-party cookies, or clear browser storage entirely. You can find instructions for your browser below:

Note: If you disable or reject strictly necessary session tokens, certain authenticated portals or developer services on our site may not function correctly.

5. External Links & Third-Party Platforms

Our website contains links to external platforms, open-source repositories, and developer tools—including GitHub, Gitter, and our Upwork Project Catalog.

When you leave extbit.com by clicking an external link, the destination platform operates under its own privacy and cookie policies. We encourage you to review the cookie notices of any third-party websites you visit.

6. Updates to This Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technology stack, software services, or applicable legal standards. Any updates will be published directly on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.
