Cookie Policy

Effective Date: April 17, 2026

1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. They are widely used by website owners to make their websites work, or to work more efficiently, as well as to provide reporting information and save user preferences.

2. How We Use Cookies

Demotect uses cookies for several essential and functional purposes:

  • Authentication: To keep you logged into your account as you navigate between the feed, the map, and your profile.
  • Preferences: To remember your UI choices, such as Dark/Light mode, language settings, and notification toggles.
  • Performance: To save your map's viewport state (where you were zoomed in) so the map loads instantly when you return to it during a session.

3. Third-Party Cookies

In addition to our own cookies, we may also use various third-party cookies to report usage statistics and deliver interactive features.

For example, our interactive Global Map relies on Mapbox (or similar geospatial providers), which may use local storage or cookies to cache map tiles securely and improve performance while you pan and zoom across locations.

4. Managing Your Cookie Preferences

You have the right to decide whether to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can set or amend your web browser controls to accept or refuse cookies. If you choose to reject cookies, you may still use our website, though your access to some functionality and areas of our website (like keeping your session logged in) may be severely restricted.

5. Updates to this Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to the cookies we use or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. Please revisit this page regularly to stay informed about our use of cookies and related technologies.
