Cookie Policy

This Cookie Policy explains how Termin ("we", "us", "our") uses cookies and similar technologies when you visit or use our website, web application, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

This Cookie Policy should be read together with our Privacy Policy.

1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit a website. They are widely used to ensure websites function properly, improve user experience, and provide information to website operators.

Cookies can be:

• Session cookies — deleted when you close your browser
• Persistent cookies — stored for a defined period
• First-party cookies — set by us
• Third-party cookies — set by external services we use

2. How and why we use cookies

We use cookies only where necessary to operate the Service, ensure security, understand how the Service is used, and improve its performance.

Depending on your consent, cookies may be used to:

• Enable core website and application functionality
• Manage user authentication and sessions
• Remember your preferences
• Measure usage and improve the Service

We do not use cookies for advertising or marketing purposes.

3. Categories of cookies we use

3.1 Strictly necessary cookies

These cookies are essential for the Service to function and cannot be disabled through our cookie settings.

They are required for:

• User authentication and session management
• Security and fraud prevention
• Load balancing and infrastructure stability
• Storing your cookie consent choices

Legal basis: Contractual necessity and legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b), 6(1)(f))

Blocking these cookies may prevent the Service from functioning correctly.

3.2 Functional cookies

Functional cookies allow the Service to remember choices you make and provide enhanced functionality.

Examples include:

• Language preferences
• Interface and accessibility settings

These cookies are disabled by default and set only after you provide consent.

Legal basis: Consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a))

3.3 Analytics cookies

Analytics cookies help us understand how users interact with the Service so we can improve usability, performance, and reliability.

We use:

• Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

GA4 may collect information such as:

• Pages viewed and interactions
• Approximate geographic location (country or region)
• Device and browser information

We have configured Google Analytics to:

• Run only after consent
• Not use analytics data for advertising or remarketing
• Apply privacy-friendly settings where available

Analytics cookies are blocked by default and are set only after you explicitly consent via the cookie banner.

Legal basis: Consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a))

3.4 Payment-related cookies (planned)

Once subscription payments are enabled, cookies may be set by our payment provider:

• Stripe

These cookies will be used solely for:

• Secure payment processing
• Fraud prevention
• Compliance with financial regulations

We do not store full payment card details on our servers.

No payment-related cookies are currently active.

Legal basis: Contractual necessity (GDPR Art. 6(1)(b))

4. Cookies we do not use

We do not use cookies for:

• Advertising or targeted marketing
• Behavioral profiling
• Remarketing or ad tracking
• Selling personal data

If this changes in the future, we will update this Cookie Policy and request your consent where required.

5. Cookie consent and control

When you first visit the Service, you are presented with a cookie banner that allows you to:

• Accept all cookies
• Reject non-essential cookies
• Choose cookie categories individually

Non-essential cookies (functional and analytics) are blocked until you provide consent.

You can change or withdraw your consent at any time via:

• The cookie settings link available on the Service, or
• Your browser settings

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

6. Managing cookies in your browser

Most web browsers allow you to:

• View stored cookies
• Delete cookies
• Block cookies
• Receive notifications before cookies are stored

Disabling strictly necessary cookies may limit or prevent use of the Service.

7. Data transfers outside the EU

Some third-party services we use (such as Google) may process data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Where this occurs, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including:

• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), or
• Other lawful transfer mechanisms under GDPR

8. Changes to this Cookie Policy

We may update this Cookie Policy from time to time to reflect:

• Legal or regulatory changes
• Updates to our technology stack
• New features or services

The "Last updated" date at the top of this page indicates the most recent version.
