This Cookie Policy explains what cookies are, how Cyberium.io (« we », « us », or « our ») uses them on our website https://cyberium.io (the « Website »), and how you can control them. It should be read alongside our Privacy Policy.
We use Axeptio as our Consent Management Platform (CMP). When you first visit our Website, Axeptio will present you with a cookie banner allowing you to accept, refuse, or customize your cookie preferences. You can change your preferences at any time by clicking the cookie icon available on our Website.
1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when you visit a website. They allow the website to remember your actions and preferences over a period of time, so you do not have to keep re-entering them whenever you come back to the site. Cookies can be « session cookies » (deleted when you close your browser) or « persistent cookies » (stored until they expire or are deleted).
2. Categories of Cookies We Use
We classify the cookies used on our Website into four categories, in line with the guidelines of the CNIL (French data protection authority) and the IAB Europe Transparency & Consent Framework:

They help us understand which pages are the most and least popular, and see how visitors move around the Website. All information collected by these cookies is aggregated and therefore anonymous.

Depending on your jurisdiction and configuration, these may be placed on the basis of legitimate interest or your explicit consent.

These cookies are only placed after you have given your explicit consent via Axeptio.
