### Policy Overview
This Cookie Policy ("Policy") describes how CryptoMize ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), operating the Perception X2 platform ("Platform"), uses cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, local storage, and related tracking technologies when you access or interact with our Platform at perception.ac ("Website"). This Policy is designed to help you understand what these technologies are, why we use them, and how you can control them.
### Scope
This Policy applies to all visitors, users, and clients who access or interact with our Website, Platform, dashboards, APIs, and any digital properties operated by CryptoMize. It should be read alongside our [Privacy Policy](/legal/privacy) and [Terms of Service](/legal/terms), which together govern your use of our services.
### Transparency Commitment
We are committed to being transparent about the technologies we use and providing you with meaningful control over your data. This Policy explains each category of cookie we deploy, the specific purposes they serve, and the steps you can take to manage or limit their use. We do not use cookies to collect personal information without a lawful basis.
### Legal Basis
Our use of cookies is grounded in applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), the ePrivacy Directive, and other relevant regulations. We rely on your informed consent for non-essential cookies and on legitimate interests for strictly necessary cookies.

**Local Storage** (also known as HTML5 storage or browser storage) means a mechanism for storing data persistently in your web browser, similar to cookies but with greater capacity and flexibility.

Other Tracking Technologies
### Web Beacons
Web beacons (also known as pixel tags, clear GIFs, or tracking pixels) are small, transparent images embedded in web pages or emails. They allow us to count users who have visited certain pages, track email open rates, and measure the effectiveness of campaigns. Web beacons do not store information on your device and work in conjunction with cookies. If you disable cookies, web beacons may still detect your visit but will not be linked to your browsing profile.
### Local Storage and Session Storage
HTML5 local storage and session storage provide mechanisms for storing data persistently or temporarily in your web browser. Unlike cookies, local storage data is not sent to the server with each request. We may use local storage to:
- Cache frequently accessed data for faster page loads - Store application state for single-page application functionality - Maintain user interface preferences that do not require server-side storage - Enable offline functionality for certain Platform features
### JavaScript Fingerprinting
We do not engage in browser fingerprinting or device fingerprinting for the purpose of identifying individual users across sessions. Any JavaScript executed on the Platform is used solely for functionality, analytics, and security purposes as described in this Policy.
### Email Tracking
When we send you emails, we may include tracking technologies such as web beacons or unique URLs to measure email engagement, including open rates and click-through rates. This data is used to improve the relevance and effectiveness of our communications. You can opt out of email tracking by unsubscribing from our emails or adjusting your email preferences.
### SDK and Mobile Tracking
If you access the Platform through mobile applications or embedded SDKs, additional tracking technologies may be employed. These are governed by the same principles outlined in this Policy and are subject to the specific privacy practices of the mobile platform providers (Apple App Store, Google Play Store).

Do Not Track Signals
### Browser Do Not Track
Some web browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal to websites visited by the user. There is currently no universal standard for how websites should respond to DNT signals, and the Platform does not currently alter its data collection practices in response to DNT signals.
### Global Privacy Control
We recognize the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid opt-out mechanism for the sale or sharing of personal information under applicable law. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we will treat it as a valid opt-out request with respect to the sale or sharing of personal information through cookies and other tracking technologies.
### California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). You may exercise this right through the Cookie Preference Center or by contacting us directly.
### European Privacy Rights
If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the right to withdraw consent for non-essential cookies at any time under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You may exercise this right through the Cookie Preference Center or by contacting our Data Protection Officer.

- **Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)** -- Approved by the European Commission for international data transfers - **Adequacy Decisions** -- Transfers to countries recognized as providing adequate data protection - **Data Processing Agreements** -- Binding contractual obligations with all third-party data processors - **Encryption** -- Data is encrypted in transit and at rest during transfer
### Third-Party Data Locations
Third-party services that place cookies on the Platform may store data in the following regions:
