Cookie Policy

Introduction

This Cookie Policy explains how Digital Command (“we”) uses cookies and similar technologies on WinBench websites and applications.

It should be read with our Privacy Policy (/privacy). Where ePrivacy rules or GDPR require consent for non-essential cookies, we will request it before setting those cookies.

1. What Are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Similar technologies include local storage, session storage, pixels, and SDKs that store or read identifiers on your device.

2. How We Use Cookies

We group cookies into the following categories:

Strictly necessary

Required to operate the site or app — for example authentication session cookies, security tokens, load balancing, and remembering cookie-consent choices. These do not require consent where they are strictly necessary to provide a service you requested.

Preferences / functional

Remember choices such as UI preferences. Where not strictly necessary, we use these only with consent in jurisdictions that require it.

Analytics / performance

Help us understand how the product is used (for example page performance and feature usage) so we can improve reliability. In the EEA/UK these are used only with consent unless they qualify as strictly necessary under applicable guidance.

Marketing

If we use marketing or advertising cookies in the future, we will list them here and obtain consent where required. We do not use cookies to sell personal information or to broker buyer identity.

3. Typical Cookies and Storage We May Use

• Session / auth cookies — keep you signed in and secure the session (necessary; duration: session or short-lived refresh).
• CSRF / security tokens — protect forms and API calls (necessary).
• Consent preference — stores whether you accepted or rejected non-essential cookies (necessary for remembering choice).
• Theme or locale preference — optional functional storage.
• Product analytics identifiers — only if enabled and, where required, consented; retention typically up to 14 months or as configured by the analytics provider.

Exact cookie names and third-party providers may change as we update infrastructure. Material analytics or marketing vendors will be reflected in this Policy and in our consent tool when active.

4. Managing Cookies

Where a consent banner or preference center is presented, you can accept or reject non-essential categories and change your mind later.

You can also control cookies through your browser settings (block, delete, or alert). Blocking strictly necessary cookies may prevent login or core features from working.

5. Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control

Where legally required, we will honor recognized browser-based opt-out signals for sale/share of personal information. Our core product does not sell personal information. Cookie consent remains the primary control for non-essential cookies in the EEA/UK.

6. Updates

We may update this Cookie Policy when our practices change. The effective date at the top will be revised. Material changes to non-essential cookie use will be reflected in the consent experience where required.
